There will be no change in customers' rates. To accommodate the launch, we will move C-Span, which is currently on Channel 37 to Channel 19 where it will share space with CBUT. TCl is excited to be the first in the industry to offer this service to its customers. Fox News Channel is a 24-hour cable news network that uses the worldwide resources of the third largest media company in the world, News Corporation. The new channel will now bring cable customers an additional news resource and its own perspective on what is happening in the world around us. Additionally, Fox has also created an interactive component that will allow viewers to respond through their personal computers to the news. This can happen the instant a news item is reported, with their questions often answered right there on the air. With two 24-hour news channels, TCI customers will have a more complete view of the news with which to make informed decisions. We are notifying our customers of the change within the legal time limit via either a notice on their bill or with a bill stuffer.

" A ,, Scope of Services This scope is based on tile City of Bremerton's request for additional development of their sanitary collection system hydraulic model. Montgomery Watson's (MW) previous model effort focused on reviewing the existing Bremerton Eastside Collection System HYDRA model. Additional modeling analysis, which was not included in the existing model, was performed for Bremerton's Eastside Beach Sewer Main (EBSM). An EBSM Technical Memorandum (TM) was prodnced, dated June 4, 1996. This initial effort focused on arriving at early, basic answers that affected the main portions of the EBSM. Accordingly, the scope which follows structures the on-going development of the City's sanitary collection system model similar to that performed and described in tile EBSM TM. The area of focus for tiffs scope is oil the Crosstown Pipeline and Central Bremerton Conveyance System (CP&CBCS). Connecting the EBSM to the CP&CBCS will characterize the entire main Bremerton collection system and allow estimates of flows arriving at the WWTP nnder various scenarios. These scenarios are described in this scope. Task 1. Review of Existing CI'&CBCS HYDRA model Review existing HYDRA hydraulic model inpnt liles to determine whether they provide Crosstown Pipeline and Central Bremerton Conveyance System engineering data that can be nsed as part of this modeling effort. Tile primary lochs of this review will be to determine whether pertinent data is available m the existing HYDRA files to allow the main CP&CBCS system to be analyzed as in the original EBSM TM. In tile event that the existing HYDRA files lack the necessary data, tile City will provide MW reqnested information to fill in the data gaps. Montgomery Watson will provide review data from the existing HYDRA model in spreadsheet format. These files will be similar to those contained ill the Appendices of the EBSM TM dated June 4, 1996. These spreadsheets will summarize all the basic data contained in the existing HYDRA files related to the CP&CBCS. Task 2. CP&CBCS HYDRA Model A CP&CBCS HYDRA model will be constructed from the information provided in the previous task. The basic model setup will include: CP&CBCS pnmp stations CE-I, CE-3, CE-4A, CE-6A, WB-3, CW-I CWo2, CW-4; CP&CBCS outfalls OF-8 through OF-16; snfficient CP&CBCS main connecting pipe information to arrive at basic answers similm' to the EBSM TM; and connecting the CP&CBCS model to the EBSM system. The strocture of the model will characterize the main sanitary system delivering flows to tile WWTP. BRMSCOP3.DOC, ALIgUst 29, 1996 Page I // Task 3. Alternatives Analysis Alternatives analysis will be performed using the constructed CP&CBCS HYDRA model. Task 3.1. Wet Weather Scenario The wet weather scenario analysis will be based on the same January 20, 1996 evaluation storm used in Bremerton's Eastside Beach Sewer Main (EBSM) hydraulic analysis (see Montgomery Watson EBSM Technical Memorandum date June 4, 1996). Recall that this storm, with its total 24- hour volume of 1.6 inches, was consistent with the magnitude storms that would be expected at abont tbe one-year frequency CSO. City provided CSO flow data for this storm will be used to test the model for realistic performance and to estimate main system flows in the CP&CBCS. This is the same technique employed to estimate main system flows in the EBSM TM. The result of this task effort will be to determine the hydraulic capacity of the system under the January 20, 1996 evaluation storm. Task 3.2. Dry Weather Scenario the dry weather scenario analysis wiIl be based on sanitary flows taken from the review of tile existing HYDRA model or otherwise provided by tile City. Task 3.3. Pumping Scenarios Pumping scenarios analysis will ewduate up to three (3) alternative pump combinations/ operations that enhance the performance of the collection system. These scenarios will be developed in consultation with the City and a final recommendation made. Task 3.4. Final Prod, ct--CP&CBCS Technical Memoramlum (TM) The Crosstowa Pipeli~e ami Central Bremer[o. Ccmvewtnce System TM will be prodnced simihn- in approach and content to th~ origim[I Easlside Beach Sewer Main dated June 4, 1996. It will include: the hydraulic analysis, analysis assumplions, input data, results and summary conclusions. Task 4. Recotnmendations for Revising CSO Baselines CSO baselines are used to evaluate how a CSO system is operating and to measure improvements made in the system. CSO baselines are defined by Washington Department of Ecology guidance as "the annual CSO volume and frequency which is emitted to occur based upon the existing sewer system and the historical rainfall." BRMSCOP3 DOC, August 29, 1996 Page 2 Baselines for the Bremerton CSOs were calculated t'or the 1992 CSO Plan. However, there were limitations to these calcnlations dne to lack of hourly rainfall data records and questionable accuracy of the flow monitoring data at the time. Since then, the City has collected hourly rainfall at three tipping-bucket mingage locations and has greatly improved the accuracy of the CSO flow monitoring. Limitations with the existing HYDRA model will not allow evaluation of dynamic hydrologic and hydraulic conditions to assess annual CSO versns precipitation. In other words, the HYDRA model in its existing state cannot continuously simulate time-varying rainfall and system inflow to characterize annual conditions. The original 1992 HYDRA model is a steady-state model with non-varying peak runoff and cannot be calibrated or verified using actual measured, time varying CSO and precipitation data. The CP&CBCS HYDRA model, developed under Tasks 2 and 3, will also be a steady-state model which focuses on peak flow, main system capacity issnes and overall system flows arriving at the treatment plant. Accordingly, the CP&CBCS model is not developed to answer the type of regulatory questions necessary for establishing annual CSO baselines. Lastly, an enhanced dynamic HYDRA model will be relatively complex and may be mom than is required to answer annuaI CSO volume questions. Other more direct mathematical approaches may be more appropriate in answering regulatory qnestions. To SUlnmarize this preamble, it is not clear at this point what will be the most effective way to revise CSO baselines. Consequently, the following scope provides a structure whereby conclusions drawn fi-om existing information, and recommendations as to how to proceed, can be developed. Task 4. 1. Evahtate 1992 CSO Baseline Data Rehltive to Recorded Data CSO flow monitoring and rain gauge data for 1994 to 1996 will be provided by the City. From this information, annual CSO volumes will be developed relative, and consistent for comparison, to Table 3-3 of the 1992 Combined Sewer Overflow Reduction Plan. An assessment with conclusions will be made at that time as to whether actual CSO flow data can serve as, or be adapted as, the revised baseline data. In addition to working with City staff, this may involve discussion with DOE to assess what is appropriate relative to the available Gtdrklncefor Chapter 173~245 WAC: CSO Red. ction Plans and [z3lgineerittg Reports. If CSO baselines, established directly from actnal measured CSO data turn out to be inappropriate, recmmnendations will be made as to how to best derive the necessary annual CSO baseline data. Task 4.2. Review Appropriate Use of Baselble Values Provide a brief narrative of appropriate use of baseline values and how past and future actual years' CSO flows can be compared with baselines to determine regulatory compliance and impact of system improvements. 'iqRMSCOP3.DOC, August 29, 1996 Page 3 Task 4.3. Evaltmtio~, of DOE Gttidaace Requiremeats a~ld Alter~mtives Review data management, reporting practices, and preparation of annual CSO reports currently used for the City's CSO program and make recommendations for possible alternatives for evaluating and reporting. Define an appropriate discharge event t'or Bremerton. [For example, Bremerton currently uses a 24-hour calendar day for defining frequency of' events. It appears that other CSO systems use other designations such as Metro's use o1' 3-hour and 48-horn' non-discharge period for detemfining events. There may be other more appropriate ways to manage data such as defining a "year" as July through June to keep a particular wet season's data together for evaluation and reporting.] Task 4.4. Final Product--CSO Baseline Review TM This technical memorandum (TM) will document the discussion, conclusions and recommendations developed from Tasks 4.1 through 4.3. Summary information is to be presented with a narrative that is not to exceed one page and a graphic display on one page. An associated supporting technical appendix with the data development will also be provided. BRMSCOP3.DOO' August 29, 1996 Page 4 EXHIBIT NO." Table 1.

IMPACT ON NON-PASSAGE: Non-passage would have the following effects: 1. The PUD being planned by Pope Resources would be limited to the Comp. Plan in effect several years ago and would be more difficult to design with. 2. A few residential properties that were included in the Sciepko Annexation area would continue to be inappropriately designated "Industrial Park". 3. The adopted Evergreen Park expansion around Smith Cove would be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 4. The newly acquired Arvon Park would remain in a residential zone. 5. The six-year Capital Improvement Program would be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which could adversely affect future funding of needed projects. 6. IMPACT ON STAFFING, BUDGETS, FACILITIES. EQUIPMENT OR OTHER RESOURCES: The overall effect of the proposed changes should be minimal on City staff and budgets. The proposed changes to the Capital Facilities Program are very important to the budget process and to the implementation of proposed capital projects. 7.

Jack Allingham stated the appeal process. Public Hearing #3-Harrison District Plan Kay Wilson, stated this was the second public hearing on the draft plan of the Harrison District. Stated there have been five neighborhood meetings over the past year. Tonights meeting is to talk about proposed revisions to the draft plan. Chapters 1 thru 4 are background intbrmation and there are no substantive changes proposed. Chapter 5 is the vision for the Harrison District and there are not changes proposed. Chapter 6 is the heart of the plan and there are several changes. Regarding a parking structure, the question was asked if it would require a public heating. The answer is no, it is treated like any other building structure and would be treated as such. Regarding helipads, this would require a public hearing. Kay Wilson went through all of the changes in detail. Discussion followed with regard to the requirement of view protection and public access. Kay Wilson introduced (Exhibit 1) showing the Harrison District Waterfront Access "Link" Plan and (Exhibit 2) which is a discussion outline. Kay Wilson responded to Gladys Buskirk-Weeks letter regarding the pathway along the beach line. Under the current regulations that would not be allowed. With regard to a letter submitted by Paul Schmidt regarding parking lots, Kay Wilson stated that they would be allowed under support uses, non-accessory parking. Stated she received a call from the State Department of Transportation requesting an extension of the time to comment. There will be some comments coming in from them. The Secretary read into the record a letter from Paul Schmidt regarding parking. Ida Mae Cooper, 1042 Walnut Street, identified several housekeeping issues and expressed concerns about the statement of "97 new units". Expressed disappointment that when Kona Village was put in they were told there would be a 20 foot greenbelt around the complex--they currently have cars parked against their fence. Suggested changing Wheaton Way to North Warren Avenue and leaving lower Wheaton Way, Wheaton Way. Concerned about St. Luke's selling out and allowing apartments to be built. John Arthur, has an office on Campbell Way, stated that the east end of Campbell Way be closed. They did not have an opinion on exactly where to close it. With regard to long term issues, has some concerns about not being in the process sooner. Regarding the path at the top of the bluff, feels it is not practical. Property owners are paying taxes on the property and PAGE-9- questioned if the City takes 25 feet, who pays the tax. What about the properties that are not very deep with usable land? The Secretary read into the record a letter from the majority of landowners on Campbell Way expressing their desire to close off Campbell Way and would like to meet with the Planning Department to discuss long term issues. Roger Coyle, owner of property on Campbell. In agreement with alternat/ve C with exception to the third bullet. Would propose that it not be vacated and that it remain Campbell' Street because at the lower corner where Campbell and Wheaton come together, it is an exit off of the triangular piece of property. The triangular piece of property has underground easements and the best you can do is about a 7,000 tbotprmt on the property. Parking would have to be along Wheaton Way and Lebo, with access onto Wheaton Way. Would like to see the City maintain the street from the cul-de-sac on out to Wheaton Way. Proposes amending alternative C, the last bullet to say that you maintain the street for direct access East of the cul-de-sac. Jerry Esser, property owner on Wheaton Way, feels the walking and bike trails along the bluff are just a dream, and unrealistic. Feels that along Wheaton Way, the trails should be on Wheaton Way side where the people could go into a view point if there was one. Against the fee process if there is no place to put a trail. Feels the view corridor size is excessive, supports the geotechnical study. Cliff White, Lindberg Place resident, supports the relocation of the hehpad adjacent to the hospital. The helicopter using the driving range presents many safety issues as well as noise issues. Fred Sorter, co-owner of Mediqnip Services, suggested closing Campbell Way off at Main Street per alternative E on a temporary basis and then the property owners and clients can see how it works. Gladys Buskirk-Weeks, property owner of waterfront on Campbell Way. Concerned about someone taking 25 feet of her property for a walk way on top of the bluff. Feels since she is paying taxes on lots that are currently waterfront, and if the pathway is put in it will become view property, will she be compensated for the toss of property'? Opposed to the walkway and would prefer to set it along the shoreline. Kay Wilson, responding to some of the issues, stated that with regard to notification, the mailing list currently is 130 and growing. Not enough resources to not/fy everyone, therefore all property owners were notified if they were down-sized. Regarding the 97 units, this came out of our analysis looking at all of the lots in the neighborhood assuming if they were built to their maximum, how many more units would be available. There is no plan for a 97 unit apartment. It was just simply a math exercise. The Campbell Way issue, the plan is just general and we would work with the owner's to determine the best alternative. Regarding the 25 tbot setback for the walkway, if there was a geotechnical study done and showed something PAGE - I0- could be built closer, that would be fine. The existing shoreline regulations already require the pathway. The tee proposal is simply a way to g/ye relief to the owner if the pathway is not feasible. Chairman Olsen asked if this could be postponed until July, allowing time to respond to the many questions. Commissioner Dingfield proposed that this document is flexible and when this document proceeds to the Council there will be time tbr additional public input. Randy Witt, City Engineer, stated that they are flexible with regard to Campbell Way. Will use the plan as a guide to go out and work with the community. Ron Hough stated that the document is simply a plan. With regard to Campbell Way, there are five alternatives on the table. One may work or none of them. They are simply opening the door to the idea that Campbell Way needs some work. Chairman Olsen wanted clar/fication on the MF zoning. Kay Wilson stated that the DR is still current. Ida Mae Cooper, stated they were assured by the City Council that the area would remain single family residential. Concerned that because the church has a big vacant lot that they will get another apartment complex. Commissioner Stone stated he feels this documem will eliminate some of Mrs. Cooper's concerns and make the area better for the future. Chairman Olsen invited the Pastor of the church to come forward. Scott Huff, Pastor of St. Luke's Church stated that the church is looking at the possibility of selling off some of the property and stated it does not matter what the designation is. Commissioner Dingfield moved approval of the Harrison District Plan as presented except for modification moving those designations back to DR and everything else is presented as a recommended plan that the City can use as a guide and go forward to the City Council. Seconded by Commissioner Stone. Question called: Hancock, yes; Dingfield, yes; Stone, yes; Robinson, yes; Olsen, abstain. Motion passes. Kay Wilson stated that the changes will be incorporated into the plan and send it on to the City Council. Stated she will work with Mrs. Cooper to correct the housekeeping issues.

June 14, 1996 Ron Hough, Planning Manger Bremerton Planning Commission 286 4th Street Bremerton, WA 98337 RE: Harrison District Plan Campbell Way Revision Dear Mr. Hough: A majority of landowners along Campbell Way have met and discussed the Campbell Way revision and the Main Street project. There were short and long term considerations, the former requiring attention by June 18, 1996. The short term issue is how to handle traffic revision on Campbell Way. We unanimously favor closing off the east end of Campbell Way somewhere between Main Street and the eastern extreme of Campbell Way. However, we do not agree on exactly where, in this length, blockade should be. A distant second choice was to make the street one way east to west. No one favored closing off the west end of Campbell Way. There are many long term issues. We initiated discussion of some topics and plan further meetings to discuss ideas. As a group, we would like to meet with you periodically for exchange of thoughts. George Berni, M.D., Fred Sorger, / 680 Lebo, Bremerton, WA 98310 June 7, 1995 TO: Kay Wilson, Senior Planner From: Jim S~ncer, Interim Director/Q~.n~.~ // RE: Comments: Harrison District Pl~i 3601478..5305 Thank you for presenting the dralt Harrison District Plan to the Parks & Recreation Commission at theiz meeting on May 28, 1996. The Parks & Recreation Commission will be reviewing the plan ia more depth and will dLscm~s it at their next Commir~sion meeting on June 25, 1996. We realize that this is not within your tLmeline to include tile final comments in your proposal to Council. However, it is important to the Commissioners to be able to study the proposal and make recommendations in the best interest of the parks system as they see it. In general, most of the recommendations as presented In the draft are acceptable. I will be maldng the following recommendations for the Commissioners' consideration at their next meeting. PARKS AND RECREATION · :o Sheridan Park shouM be expanded to the east. The Department agrees that it would be ideal to be able to purchase the neighbermg property. It would slightly iacrease the City Parks & Recreation E~partment's level of sermce (park acreage per capita). The last asking price was $125,000. No provision for this purchase has been made in our latest 6 year forecast. · :o The Park Department maintenance facility should be relocated away from the shoreline. The Department agrees that ideally the Park Maintenance facility should not be on the shoreline. However, it is more important that the Park Maintenance staff and their equipment be located in the same area that the Administration staff and most of the Recreation staff is located. This arrangement is more cost efficient and provides better communication opportunities between the Department's diverse groups. The ~ent continues to discuss a variety of solutions regarding this situation. Funds have been designated ia the 1999 Capital budget for the maintenance facility. We will study the feasibility of expanding Sheridan Park to the west and building the maintenance facility closer to the Warren Avenue Bridge. It has been the thought of the Department to study the locations and use of ail of it's centers, the maint0ellallce facility and offices to determine its needs and the best use of the properties. o:o The EastPark Nature Area should be maintained as a conservancy area. A par]lng structure should be considered at the site of the existing joint-use parking lot next to the hospital if the integrity of the Nature Area can be preserved, The EastPark Nature Area is safeguarded by the Parks Protection Ordinance of the City of Bremertan as well as Government Services Administxafion (GSA) rules and regulations. In addition, the EastPark Nature Area was purchased with Inter-Agency Commill:ee for Outdoor Recreation grant funds which also places restrictions on the property. The IAC grant contract does call for using the property for "a park and recreation area and proxdding picnicking, nature trails and parking." page 1 Currently, the hospital ~s almost exclusive use of the parking area just ~.cause of the sheer numbers of hospital vehicles that park there almost around the clock. The hospital parking use effectively elimin~t~ all parking for any park users. Perhaps the solution to this congestion is an appropriate sized parking structure with special parking for park users set aside. However, the cost of the structure would not ~ the responstl~lity of the Parks & Recreation Department. Al thi~q time, there are no plans for aclttitional development of the EastPark Natare Area. Maint~lallce in this area will be in~ and some ~,4,t~d amenities such as additional picnic tables, benches and irrigation will be added to cr~t,~ a mom usable area. The Depaxtment will continue to encourage trail development and renovation by Scouts and other sevace orEaniT~OllS. Thc Del:raiment will maintain ~ trail $ystellls for safety. o~o p~al~s C~rner beaut~cati~n area sh~u~d be en~arged int~ a neighb~rh~d p~cket park when ~97~eat~n Way is closed at Sheridan Road. The Department agrees that it would be advantageous to enlarge the existing beautification area and add picnic tables, benches and interpretive si~ing for the U.S.S. Missouri Guns and make the facility. more usable. It would help increase our level of mn, ice (lmrk acreage per capita) slightly. o~o A public access pathway system should be developed along the top of the bluff, v~th viewpoints and possible beach access at Magnuson ~ewpoint and the Main Street right-of-way. (Current shoreline regulations already require new development to construct a public access pathway). Prior to any decisions regarding public pathways along the bluff and beach access, the suggested geoteclmical study of the Tracyton Beach Natural System should be prepared. We would also recommend that less expensive (develup~ent and operational) beach access points should be considered. It may be well to keep the Magnuson Viewpoint as a view comdor and possibly develop the Main Street location as a viewpumt as well. However, the Lent Lane property and other lower points can be developed with the same beach access results. Any new public development, whether it be view points, pathways or parks, needs to be developed or expanded only if operational considerations are clear and sufficient resources are in place to support new or expanded development. While small developments here or there don't seem to mount to much, ol~rationally these small bits of development add considerable maintenance responsibilities. LAND USE o~o re: hospital parlang: Currently, the hospital has almost exclnsive use of the EastPark Nature Area parking area just because of the sheer numbers of hospitul vehicles that park there almost around the clock. The hospital parldng use effectively eliminates all parldng for any park users. Perhaps the solution to this congestion is an appropriate sized parking structure with special parking for park users set aside. However, the cost of the structure would not be the responsibility of the Parks & Recreation Department. TRANSPORTATION · ~o re: Wheaton Waysouthboundoff-)'amp: This will add significant traffic on Lebo Boulevard. The traffic around Sheridan Recreation Center and the park is already notable and creates a dangerous situation for the pre-sehoolers, children, instructors as well as staff and other park users who have to cross Lebo. Traffic control around the park needs to be considered. o~o re: Lower Wheaton Way closure at Sheridan The Department agrees that it would be advantageous to enlarge the existing beautification area and aaa picnic tables, benches and interpretive si~o-ning for the U.S.S. Missouri Guns and make the facility more usable. It would help increase our level of service (park acreage per capita) slightly. page 2 °~o re: South end of Ash 5ireet closed and vacated at the hospital. The north entrance and picnic area of the EastPark Nature Area is located here and vacating the street must include access to this area. · ~ re: Campbell Way Any of the suggested solutions for Camt:Iaell Way is better than the current situation. The intersection is exm:mely dangerous because of the angle it in~ w/th Lebo, the location of Clare Su'eet in relation to the intersection, the rote of speed on Lebo, and the presence of pedestrians and park 4, re: Closure of Clare Street The Harrison Plan suggests that the short connector between Clare Street and Callahan be closed and the right of way be used to enlarge the triangular beautification spot. While this would help increase our level of se~,/ce (park acreage per capita) slightly. Any new public development, whether it be view points, pathways or parks, needs to be developed or expanded only ff operational considerations are clear and sufficient resources are in place to support new or expanded development. While small developments here or there don't seem to amount to much, operationally these small bits of development add considerable malntellallce responsibilities. page 3 September 10, 1996 Mr. Ron Hough Planning Manager City of Bremerton 286 - 4th Street Bremerton, WA 98337 Dear Mr. Hough: As we discussed, I will be unable to attend the September 18 public hearing regarding the Harrison District Plan. Because I have participated as a community member during the past years in the variety of public hearings for planning for the area around the hospital, l wanted to write to confirm my support for the general concepts involved in the neighborhood plan. In particular, I feel the improvements to roads and traffic circulation in the community that may result from such a plan are very important for this community and for the thousands of people that come to the hospital each year as patients, visitors and employees Access to this area of Bremerton from other areas of the County continues to be a major concern, so improvements in local roads and circulation are supported as a means to partially off-set some of the increased travel times to this area, especially as relates to traffic from the North County. You stated that to improve traffic circulation and safety, the option to divert Wheaton Way so that it is · moved to the east at its juncture with Sheridan Road seems to be the preferred option following construction of a new southbound off-ramp from Wheaton Way to Lebo Boulevard and other traffic improvements. As I have stated, this would significantly affect the development potential of the Olympic View Site on Sheridan Road now owned by the hospital. As stated in previous public meetings, I will be glad to work with you and others to consider the most appropriate ways to achieve such changes as may be beneficial for our community. Respectfully, David O. OIson Director of Planning cc: Dave Gitch BRE ERTON 2520 Cherry Avenue, Bremerton, WA 98310-4270 360/377-3911 (478-6211 for 'ITY) City of Bremerton Parks and Recreation Commission Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting UNAPPROVED MINUTES June 25, 1996 6:00 p.m. Sheridan Community Center 680 Lebo Blvd., Bremerton, WA 98310 ATTENDANCE: Jason Bachand, Barry Cook, Carol Johnson, Russ Johnson, Charles McWhorter ABSENT/EXCUSED: Wanda Butler, Lionel Collins, Mary Sump, J. Michael Vaughn STAFF: Jim Spencer, Interim Director, Jodi Wroblewski, Asst. Director, Lena D'Agostino, Office Asst. II AUDIENCE: R.K. Smith L CALL TO ORDER: In the absence'of Chairman Michael Vaughn, Commissioner Russ Johnson called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. H. ITEMS FROM THE AUDIENCE: None m. AGENDA: No change IV. OLD BUSENESS 1. Harrison District Plan: Jodi Wroblewski recounted that at the last Parks & Recreation Commission meeting, Kay Wilson, Senior Planner with the City of Bremerton, presented the Harrison District Plan (draft) to the Commission for comments. The Commission stated that they needed time to study the proposal and then would make recommendations at the June meeting. According to Jodi, the proposal was taken to the Planning Commission on June 11, I996. Issues such as zoning were addressed but as Kay Wilson said, the Harrison District Plan is just a concept at this stage. New development in the district may call for changes in zoning, exceptions to the Building Code, etc. Jori further stated that the Department does not have major problems concerning the proposed plan. Jim Spencer added that he took exceptions to a several items in the plan. In particular it is important to protect the option of having the Department maintenance facility in close proximity with other department operations. Also, it is important to note that additional park property and services will call for additional resources which need to be factored into the planning. Daae I At this point, the Commissioners reached a consensus to endorse the proposed plan with the Department exceptions noted. ~ Budget Time Lines: This topic was not discussed due to the absence of Chairman Vaughn. Jim said he had agreed to meet with Chairman Vaughn separately to discuss this issue. Jim mentioned that Commissioner Barry Cook had brought up to Jim's attention that a very significant item was inadvertently left off from the list, which was Commissioners Goals and Objectives. Jim recommended replacing Budget Time Lines with that. Jim said he feels that there is not a lot that can be done to affect what is happening in the current because all the budgets have been appropriated. Jim suggested that the Commissioners need to focus on the medium and long-range goals. A good example is a survey that is being developed by Commissioner Lionel Collins. Becky Lorber, Recreation Coordinator II at the Senior Center, is also in the process of doing a survey that should provide interesting input regarding Senior Citizen needs. These surveys along with other input will enable the Department/Commission to really start looking at viable medium and long-range goals to accomplish as a group. Jim suggested that the Commissioners look beyond the near term, trusting him and Jodi to bring issues that need the Commissioners' attention, and really focus on the medium and long-range planning for recreation needs of the citizens of Bremerton. In line with this, Jodi added that the City's Comprehensive Plan will be amended again next year and she would like the Commission to be more involved in the development of levels of serv/ce (1.o..s.) for facilities and programs. Commissioner Cook said it sounds like everything (budget, etc.) is pretty much "cast in concrete" as Jim mentioned and he feels there is not a lot of decisions for this group to make. He enjoys listening to Jim and Jodi report on all the things happening in the Department but he doesn't feel as though the Commissioners are really a part of that yet. Medium and long- range planning is fine with him and he prefers to have things in front of him, see things on paper. If the Commission will do medium and long-range planning, he would like to know what the projects will be and how to accomplish them. Commissioner R. Johnson stated that he feels the Commission/Department needs to have some kind of a retreat to put together a strategic plan for the parks and recreation system. He suggested looking plans of other cities in the State. Jim mentioned Moses Lake as that Department has unbelievable facilities. Jodi also suggested the Commissioners talk with the staff to become familiar with their ongoing programs/projects. There are also a lot of materials that can be compiled and handed out to the Commissioners relative to this issue. V. NEW BUSENESS - Naming Park at the North End of Elizabeth: Jim stated that there is a policy for naming park and it is the function of the Parks & Recreation Commission. He recommended that the Commission form a committee to tackle this issue. The Committee's responsibility is to study and come up with recommended names and present these names to the Commission. It requires a majority vote fi-om the Commission to approve a name and ultimately take the issue to the City Council for final approval. Jim further stated that it is important to him that whatever name the group come up with should be coordinated with Puget Power as a courtesy since they donated the property. Commissioners C. Johnson, Cook & McWhorter volunteered to be in the said Naming Committee. Commissioner C. Johnson said she will contact Councilmember Richard Neville for his input.

The Plan will help guide future development in the neighborhood. It also identifies facilities and services to be addressed in the City's Capital Facilities Program. Plan Streamlines Environmental Review The Harrison District Plan is designed to pave the way for new development proposals consistent with the plan. Proposed projects in the neighborhood will qualify for streamlined environmental review if the probable adverse impacts of the proposal are addressed in the environmental review of this ptan. (See Chapter VI for more information.) Plan Refines Cifywide Comprehensive Plan The City adopted a new Bremerton Comprehensive Plan in April 1995. This plan was an update of the City's 1986 comprehensive plan to bring it into conformance with new Growth Management Act (GMA) requirements. The citywide comprehensive plan provides broad policy direction for the City. It also identifies the "Harrison Health Services District" as a "Specific Area" for further study. This area is the subject of the Harrison District plan. The neighborhood plan operates within the more general framework of the city-wide c(Smprehensive plan. (See Appendix A for additional information on the Specific Area.) Dra~ Harrison Distdct Plan 1-1 /4// 7/25/96 Neighborhood Participated in Planning Prooess This plan is based on discussions with residents, employees and business people at a series of community meetings held from June 1995 to June 1996. The plan was adopted in 1996 after Planning Commission and City Council public hearings. Plan Includes Neighborhood Vision and Objectives Highlights of the Plan recommendations include: El Establish a Health Care Campus for medical facilities. El Construct a south-bound off-ramp from Wheaton Way. El Reconfigure Wheaton Way at Sheridan and expand Hal's Corner park. Reconfigure or close Campbell Way Designate more areas for medium and high density housing. Expand Sheridan Park, Establish a Waterfront Access Plan along the shoreline.

Draft Harrison District Plan '~ - 3 //,~/., ~ 7/25/96 0 0 0 Draft Hsrrison Distdct Plan 1-4 7/25/96 2 District Profile The Place Dlsfrlot Is Looafed In Easf Bremerton The Harrison district is located on the Manette Peninsula in East Bremerton, between the Warren Avenue Bridge and the Manette neighborhood. It is generally bounded on the: west: by the Warren Avenue Bridge approach; nodh: by Sheridan Road; east: by Schley Boulevard and the Naval East Park Residential Area; south: by the Port Washington Narrows. r~ Figure I - General Locati~-r; Draft Harrison District Plan 2-1 7r25/96 Natural Setting Features Scenic Views The Harrison neighborhood is located along a scenic high bluff shoreline above the Port Washington Narrows, a branch of Puget Sound. The neighborhood is framed on the west by the heavily wooded East Park Nature Area. Most of the area slopes steadily from the crest of the hill above the Nature Area to the shoreline. Many people enjoy spectacular views of the Port Washington Narrows and the Olympic Mountains from their hillside homes and places of business. Distriot Is Part of Former Sheridan Park Area The Harrison district is the easterly part of the larger Sheridan Park area. Sheridan Park was originally constructed by the federal government for naval housing and other military facilities. Most of these holdings were later surplussed. In the late 1940's the City acquired Sheridan Park (including the community center), Stephenson Canyon, and Lebo Field and Coal Dock from the Public Housing Administration. Between 1966 and 1968 the City was able to acquire East Park and the East Park Nature Area with assistance from the Bureau of Land Management and the Interagency committee for Outdoor Recreation. The construction of the Warren Avenue Bridge in the late 1950's effectively chopped the Sheridan Park community in two. The Harrison neighborhood gets its name from Harrison Memorial Hospital, the most prominent facility in the district today. The hospital was moved from central Bremerton to its present site in the 19__'s. Existing Land Uses are Diverse The Harrison neighborhood is characterized by one of the most diverse mixes of residential, commercial and public uses in the city. Residents live in single family homes, duplexes, apadments, and condominiums. There are three retirement complexes and one nursing home. Shopping, food service and recreation facilities are within walking distance of most residents. The Sheridan Village Shopping Center includes a grocery store, drug store, bank, and numerous small shops. Other commercial development along "Old" Wheaton Way includes a mix of retail, services and office uses, ranging from restaurants, carwash, and convenience store to hair salon, dive shop, and bowling alley. The Sheridan Park Community Center provides a variety of recreationa programs that draw people from the city and surrounding areas. "Lower" Sheridan Park and the East Park Nature area provide more passive recreational opportunities for the neighborhood. Stephenson Canyon Park and East Park are Draft Hardson District Plan 2 - 2 7/25/96 just beyond the borders of the district. Bremerton Junior High School is just north of the district, across Sheridan Road. There are some impodant differences between the Harrison district and a "typical" neighborhood. The district no longer includes a school -- the former Olympic View Elementary School has been torn down, and the property prepared for development. But more striking, new medical office development surrounding Harrison Hospital has filled vacant lots, replaced residential areas, and changed the character of this neighborhood forever. The People The 1990 Census provides a rough "sketch" of the residents of the Harrison district. While population counts are available for just the neighborhood, other census data is only available for a larger area referred to here as the "East Sheridan Area", which includes the East Park Naval Housing Area (outside the district)? Table 1 shows that the East Sheridan area contains over twice as many people as live in the Harrison district. Also, the census information is now six years old. Therefore, while this information is the best available, it must be used with some caution. Disf~-iof i,s I..Iot~e fo over ~ 000 Resident8 There are approximately 1,340 people living in the Sheridan District -- about 4% of the City's 1990 population. This figure can be derived from 1990 Census data adjusted to reflect existing circumstances? Table 2-1 Total Persons 1,340 3,386 Percent of City (38,142) 4% 9% Many Seniors Live In Area Table 2-2 compares the ages of East Sheridan area residents with those in the City as a whole. ~The East Sheridan Park Area" is made up of census block groups I and 2 in census tract 803. See Appendix __ for more detailed census information. 2The 1990 Census counted 1,249 residents in the Harrison neighborhood. The construcfJon of Canterbury Manor in 1994 added 76 housing units. Based on the city-wide average of 1.2 persons per household in multifamify units, these units can be assumed to house about 91 persons. Draft Hardson District Plan 2 - 3 7/25/96 The median age of the East Sheridan area residents (29 years) is only slightly higher than for City residents (28 years).3 A significantly higher proportion of people age 65 and over (18%) live in the East Sheridan area than in the City (11%). This is likely due to the concentration of senior housing facilities in the neighborhood.4 Table 2-2 Information Type East Sheridan Area City of Bremerton Persons 3,386 38,142 Median Age 29 28 % under 18 26% 24% % 65 and over 18% 11% Raolal Paffet~s ,llre l'ypioal of City Racial patterns in th{; East Sheridan area are similar to those in the City as a whole. (See Table ~-3) White persons p'edominate in about the same proportion in the East Sheridan area (E5%) as in the City as a whole (84%). Blacks make up :he second largest racial group in the larger area (9%), as they do in the Ci :y (7%), although at a slightly higher proportion. + Asians are the ti' ird largest 'racial group in the Area (4%) and the City (5%). The proportion of residents of Hispanic origin is slightly lower in the East Sheridan area (,~%) than in the City (5%).s 3The median age for just th( Harrison neighborhood is probably higher, since the 'East Sheridan area' includes the East Park Nava Housing Area, which is just outside the neighborhood. The median age for census block group 2, which' includes the east half of the neighborhood as well as East Park is only 23 years. The actual proportion of peapie over 65 is probably much h[gher in the Harrison neighborhood than in the larger 'East Sheridan area". The percent of persons 65 years and over in census block group 2 (east half of neighborhood plus East Park) is only 4%, compared with census block group 1 (north and west parts of neighborhood plus an area northeast of East Park), where 28% are over 65 years of age. Persons of Hispanic origin can belong to any racial group.

Households include persons living in families, living alone, or living with other unrelated people. Group quaders include institutions or other group living arrangements such as military quarters or nursing homes. (See Table 2-4) 4, There are 1,345 households in the East Sheridan area -- 9% of the City's 14,718 households. About two thirds (61%) of area households are families, about the same proportion as in the City as a whole (60%). Just over half (52%) of East Sheridan area households are married-couple households, compared with less than half (46%) of City households. Over one third (39%) of area households are nonfamily households, compared with less than one tenth (8%) of City households. About one third (32%) of East Sheridan area households consist of single persons living alone, about the same as the proportion of City households (33%). 4, The average household (HH) size is about the same in the area (2.35 persons/HH) as in the City as a whole (2.34/HH). Over half (55%) of East Sheridan area residents live in households, compared with the City as a whole (39%). (The City is significantly lower because a large number of military persons live in group housing quaders.)

While City housing unit counts are available for just the district, other information on housing is only available for the larger area referred to here as the "East Sheridan area", which includes the East Park Naval 'Housing Area (outside the district). It is impodant to keep in mind that the census data is six years old. While this information is the best available, it must be used with some caution. However the 1990 data will provide an important baseline for comparison after the year 2000 census information becomes available. Draft Harrison District Plan 7/25/96 Distriot Contains some 600 Housing Units A City housing survey in 1993 counted 603 housing units in the Harrison neighborhood. The same 1993 survey counted an additional 347 units in the East Park Naval Housing Area, for a total of 950 units in the combined East Sheridan area. la contrast, the 1990 census counted a total of 725 housing units in the East Sheridan area -- 225 fewer units than the 1993 City count. Therefore, the census information needs to be used with some caution. (See Table 2-6) Table 2-6 1993 Area 1990 Housing Units 603 725 I 122 I 17% Renters Outnumber Owners Only 15% of the housing units in the East Sheridan area were occupied by owners in 1990. Even allowing for the fact that the Area includes the East Park Naval Housing (outside the neighborhood), this is a very Iow proportion of owner-occupants. For comparison, the City of Bremedon had 39% owner- occupancy (still very tow), while Kitsap County as a whole had a more typical 64% owner-occupancy rate. (See Table 2-7') Table 2-7 Occupied Housing Units 1,345 100% - Owner occupied 203 15% - Renter occupied 1,142 85% Housing Costs Relatively Low The median value of owner-occupied housing in the East Sheridan area ($68,022) was $3,822 higher than the median value for the City as a whole ($64,200) in 1990. However, it was $21,078 lower than the median value of such housing in Kitsap County as a whole ($89,100). The median rent in the East Sheridan area ($311 ) was $18 less than for the City ($329) in 1990. However, it was $69 less than the median rent for Kitsap County as a whole ($380). (See Table 2-8) Dra~ Hardson District Plan Table 2-8 B r~rne troll i~ i~ ::~:. ~:~:; ~:~i~i~ ~i : K~tsap Coot Median Value $68,022 $64,200 $89,100 Median Rent $311 $329 $380 Inoomes Lower fhan City-wide Average Income information for the neighborhood is sketchy. It is only available for the larger census tract 803 area, and is seven years out of date. In 1989 the residents of what we will call the "Greater East Sheridan" area had a median income ($20,495) that was $2,115 less than the median income for the City ($22,610), and $11,548 less than for the County ($32,043). It is possible that East Park Naval Housing Area incomes lower the median income below what it would otherwise be, but the large number of retired persons likely also plays a part. (See Table 2-9) Table 2-9 ::; Median Income $20,495 Draft Hardson Distdct Plan 2 - 8 7/25/96 3 Growth Management Several existing studies, plans and regulations apply to the Harrison District. This chapter describes the main ones affecting the district: Growth Management Act Build-Out Analysis Bremerton Comprehensive Plan Bremerton Zoning Ordinance Bremerton Shoreline Master Program Growth Management Act The Washington State Legislature passed the Growth Management Act (GMA) in 1990 to deal with increasing problems related to growth. For the first time the faster growing counties and their cities were required to adopt comprehensive ptans to determine in advance how growth would be managed. The growth was coming, and each county had to plan to absorb its share of that growth. Prior to this it was a local option to do a comprehensive plan, and such plans did not have much clout. In contrast, growth management plans carry the force of law. They provide a framework for zoning and other development regulations to manage growth. In addition, they determine what public facilities will be needed, how much they will cost, and how they will be paid for. Build-Out Analysis The City conducted a "Land Use Inventory and Build-out Analysis" in 1993. The study included an inventory of land uses on every parcel in the city. It documented the number of existing housing units and the current density. The study calculated the amount of land area zoned for various lan. d uses. It identified the amount of land available for "infiIF, and estimated the number of housing units that could be built under existing zoning. Distriot Has Potential for Redevelopment While the Harrison district is largely developed, it offers many "infill' and redevelopment oppodunifies. The City "Build-out Analysis" counted a total of Draft Harrison District Plan 3-1 7/25/96 551 dwelling units (D.U.) in the neighborhood at a current density of 3.6 units per acre. The study calculated that the neighborhood could absorb about 148 additional dwelling units under the existing zoning for a total "build-out' of 699 units. The following table summarizes the results of the build-out analysis for the Harrison district. (See Table 3-1) Table 3-1 26-B 41 1,360,650 142,391 1,503,041 48 89 3.9 26-C 298 1,912,464 541,237 2,453,701 97 395 9.6 37-A 212 2,783,716 18,287 2,802,003 3 215 24.8 TOTALS: 551 6,056,830 701,915 6,758,745 148 699 3.6 Assuming 75% of the vacant and under-utilized lots become available for development within the next 20 years, about 111 new dwelling units can be accommodated within the East Sheridan area under existing zoning, for a total of 662 units. The 111 new units could house about 244 new residents, for a total of 1,456 residents. (This estimate assumes an average household size of 2.2 persons per unit by year 2015, when household sizes are expected to be a little smaller than they are today.) Draft Hardson District Plan 3-2 7/25/96 Comprehensive Plan The City adopted a new Bremerton Comprehensive Plan in April 1995. All of Bremerton is included within a larger "Urban Growth Area" (UGA) established by Kitsap County. Bremerton is required to plan for 20,000 new people in the next 16 years. The comprehensive plan lays the groundwork for Bremerton to house about 58,000 people within its existing boundaries by year 2014. The Comprehensive Plan contains five "elements* that are required by the Growth Management Act: Land Use; Transportation; Housing; Capital Facilities; and Utilities. It also includes some optional elements: The Vision for Bremerton; Planning Goats; Citizen Involvement Program; Environmental Management; and Implementation, Consistency & Concurrency. The following discussion summaries specific impacts of the plan on the Harrison District. Land Use Element Promotes Mix of Uses The Land Use Element of the City's new comprehensive plan designates areas where various land uses will be allowed. In the Harrison district the plan provides for a mix of uses ranging from "Low Density Residential" to "General and Professional Offices" to "Parks" to "Hospital". The plan doesn't call for any major changes in land use in the neighborhood, since it is almost fully developed. (See Figure 2) Objectives The Land Use Element identifies the need for a "specific area plan" for the "Harrison Health Services District". (See Appendix A) The element sets fodh seven objectives to form a minimum framework for the area plan: 1. To build on past health services and commercial investments. 2. To improve access to the service providers, as well as circulation within the district. 3. To maintain and strengthen the professional relationships between Harrison Hospital and surrounding physicians' offices and related medical services. 4. To anticipate future growth needs and incorporate them into a land use plan for the distdct that minimize the need for future Plan amendments and rezones. 5. To minimize increased traffic, bypass traffic, physical encroachment, and other disruptions to surrounding stable residential neighborhoods. 6. To maximize the efficient utilization of existing lands through creative design and site planning, improved public transit service, mixed use development, and other features. 7. To establish a balance of land uses that complement each other and maintain long term stability.

It identifies trouble spots in city arterials and recommends improvements where needed. The plan also includes a six-year finance program listing those projects planned for funding between 1995-2000. The Transportation Element analyzes three roadway sections along the edges of the Harrison district. Levels of service (LOS) from "A" to "F" are calculated for each section to rate the degree of traffic congestion and delay during the afternoon peak hour. A LOS A indicates the least amount of congestion (a free flow condition), while LOS F indicates the highest amount of congestion (stop- and-go traffic). The element describes studies that were done to identify likely impacts of projected growth on city roadways over the next 20 years. It analyzes several scenarios for addressing transportation deficiencies, and recommends improvements to correct these deficiencies. Draft Harrison District Plan 3-4 7~5~6 Warren Avenue Bridge The intersections on each end of the Warren Avenue Bridge are calculated to be operating at LOS E. The actual Level of Service on the bridge itself may operate somewhat better. The capacity of the roadway section between the bridge and Callahan is 4,100 vehicles per hour. An average of 4,050 vehicles use this part of the roadway during the afternoon peak-hour. The Transportation Element proposes that the City initiate a Major Investment Study (MIS) in 1996, if outside funds are available to match the city share. The purpose of the MIS would be to determine whether a third bridge should be built to relieve pressure on the Warren Avenue Bridge, and if so, where it should be located. This study would need to be conducted under federal requirements, in conjunction with the State (WSDOT), Kitsap County, and Kitsap Transit. The MIS would include a major citizen input program. Sheridan Road Intersection with Wheaton Way Sheridan Road needs to be widened for a distance of 1000-3000 feet on each side of Wheaton Way to provide additional capacity at the intersection and to accommodate turning movements for access to adjacent property. This work is programmed for beyond yeal' 2000. Warren Avenue Southbound Off-ramp to Juniper Street A southbound off-ramp will be constructed from Warren Avenue to Lebo Boulevard via Juniper Street. This project will improve signalized intersection operations on Sheridan Road and improve access to Harrison Hospital. This work was programmed for 1995-96, but design of the project is on hold pending approval of this plan to ensure consistency with the Harrison District Plan. The project is partially funded with federal FAUS funds. A local funding source is needed to complete the project. Housing Element Promotes Liveable Neighborhoods The Housing Element of the adopted Bremerton Comprehensive Plan contains general City goals, policies and strategies. Although most are very general, several have special significance for the district: Significant Goals and Policies Goals 1. Housing Condition - Prese~,e and enhance Bremerton's housing stock. New Housing Development - Provide a variety of housing types and densities to meet changing needs of Bremerton residents. Drat~ Harrison District Plan 3 - 5 7/25/96 Liveable Neighborhoods - Build strong, liveable neighborhoods where the Amedcan Dream of home ownership is possible for a majodty of Bremerton residents. Policies 2.a. Maintain a strong code enforcement program. Use neighborhood plans to outline public and private projects for each neighborhood. Commence the neighborhood planning process in the Sheridan/Harrison Hospital neighborhood, with a focus on: new multi-family senior housing structures; and rehabilitated single-family dwellings. 4.b. Implement a six-year street plan and a street maintenance plan. 4.c. Implement the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan. 5. Promote safe, attractive, liveable neighborhoods that will attract homeowners. Capital Facilities Element Lists Projects The Capital Facilities Element of the adopted Bremerton Comprehensive Plan contains an inventory of public facilities, a forecast of future needs based on expected population growth, and a six-year finance program for capital facilities. The following table lists planned capital facilities for the Harrison District listed in the Capital Facilities Element six-year finance plan. (See Table 3-2) Table 3-2 East Perk Nature Area 5,000 15,000 20,000 Wheaton Way Major 50,000 100,000 50,000 200,000 Investment Study (MIS) TOTAL = 0 50,000 100,500 65,000 0 0 220,000 Utilities Element Identifies Facilities Needs The Comprehensive Plan Utilities Element includes an inventory of existing natural gas, electrical and telecommunications service systems in the City. also contains an analysis of future needs and a general list of'planned improvements for each utility system. No major natural gas or telecommunications systems facilities are located or planned within the Harrison district. A Puget Power transmission line crosses the Port Washington Narrows parallel to the east side of the Warren Avenue Draft Harrison District Plan 3-6 7r25/96 bridge, landing between the bridge and Sheridan Park. No new major electrical system facilities are planned within the district during the planning period. Bremerton Zoning Ordinance The City's 1986 Zoning Ordinance was updated to be consistent with the new comprehensive plan in June 1996. The following map shows the current zoning designations. (See Figure 3) Harrisott District ZONES DR Duplex Residential MF Multiple-family Residential MR Mixed Residential GB General [3usiness PO Professional Office PS Parks & Schools PS Figure 3 - Bremerton Zoning Map Dralf Harrison District Plan 3 - 7 7r25/96 Shoreline Master Program The Bremerton Shoreline Master Program regulates uses and activities along the shoreline under the authority of the State Shoreline Management Act. The Master Program applies to those lands extending 200 feet landward from the ordinary high-water mark. Within the Harrison district this shoreline area consists of almost all the properly on the shore side of Wheaten Way. Traoyton Beach Natural System The Harrison District shoreline is part of the Tracyton Beach Natural System, which roughly extends from nodh of Lion's Field to the Mannette Bridge. *' ', ~ ..... Tracyfon Beach is e stretch of land along Pod .... I We,h,ngton~e owsineestBreme,on. This ' :2~ Waves, wind, tide and geoloffical material are the . . t ~ ,, , principal factors that have led to the existence of Trac~on Beach area. The chief source of supply ', ~ beach matedal is the cfiff area that is to the soulh of fha beach that defines the PaR Washington Naffows. This is also identified as a natural system, existing as a ' '" feeder bank. Figure 4 - Tracyton Beach - BremeRon Shorefine Master Program Natural S~stem Dralf Harrison District Plan 7/25/96 The high bluff area along the Harrison district shoreline is an important "feeder bank' that supplies material for nearby beaches. These beaches could erode rapidly if this source of sediment were to be interrupted or cut off completely. Since most beach sediment in Puget Sound comes from shore bluff erosion, someone's properly must erode to allow another's beach to be maintained. (See above Beach erosion sidebad Shoreline Environment Designations The Shoreline Master Program assigns "environment designations" to various city shorelines. These designations determine special requirements that apply to activities and development along the shoreline. Harrison district shorelines are designated Urban Conservancy (CS-7) and Urban Commercial (C-3). (See Figure 5) Figure 5 - Bremerton Master Program Shoreline Environment Designations Draft Harrison District Plan 3 - 9 7/25/96 CS-7: Sheridan Park/Community Theater - The southerly portion of a city park south of Lebo Boulevard at Clare Avenue, and the Community Theater site northwest of the park, along the northeast shore of the Port Washington Narrows, C-3: Campbell/Wheaton - Extends southeast along old Wheaton Wa~' from Sheddan Park to a point just southwest of Warren C. Magnuson Way (the north boundary of the Bremerton Gardens apartment complex), on the northeast shore of the Port Washington Narrows. Shoreline Uses and Aofivifies The Master Program permits certain uses and activities within the Conservancy, Commercial designations and the Tracyton Beach Natural System (described above). The following table summarizes the uses permitted (or prohibited) within the environment designations now assigned to Harrison District shorelines. (See Table 3-3) Table 3-3 Commercial P X X Residential P X X Recreational P CU CU Marinas P X CU Piers & Docks P CU gu P = Permitted + X = Prohibited + CU -- Permitted subject to obtaining Conditional Use Permit Water-dependent, Water-related, Water-enjoyment and Non-water-oriented Uses and Activities Special requirements apply to uses in the Commercial environment designation. Water-dependent, water-related, and water-enjoyment uses and activities are permitted. Non-water-oriented uses may only be permitted through approval of a Conditional Use Permit. (See Tab/e 3-4.) Draft Harrison District Plan 3- 10 7/25/96 Table 3-4 Water-dependent P P Water-related P P Non-water-oriented (upland) CU CU Over-water non-water-oriented - X Water-enjoyment P P P = Permitted + X = Prohibited 4, CU = Permitted subject to obtaining Conditional Use Permit The terms water-dependent, water-related, water-enjoyment, and non-water- oriented have special meanings under the Shoreline Management Act. (See Shorefine Use Definitions, below) Development Standards The Master Program includes additional requirements for Marine Bluff Review, Public Access, and View Protection in certain environment designations. (See Table 3-5) Draff Harrison Distdct Plan 3 - '~ 1 7/25/96 Table 3-5 Marine Bluff Review A(8) A(8) A(8) Public ,Access R R R View Protection A(8) A(8) A(8) A = As applicable + (8) = See General Requirements (varies by use and location) + R = Required Marine Bluff Review The Marine Bluff Review requirement would allow development to "step down", or extend down the slope of, the bluff if the review determined that "any new activity on the bluff will not result in erosion or add to unstable bluff conditions that might cause damage to marine resources." Public Access The Master Program requires all new commercial development and multi-family development of five or more units to provide "improved public access", which consists of a hard surface walkway "to and along the shoreline". The Master Program also recognizes adopted waterfront access plans for specific shoreline areas. To date there is no adopted waterfront access plan for the Harrison District shoreline. View Protection The Master Program requires commercial and multi-family residential development to include a "view corrido¢' -- a special setback perpendicular to the water. The purpose of the view corridor is to prevent the shoreline from being cut off from public view by a "wall" of development. The following table summarizes the existing view corridor requirements. Table 3-6 Under 20 feet: 25% 20 - 35 feet: 35% Over 35 feet (1): 40o~ (1) = Heights above 35 feet are permitted only when overriding considerations of the public interest will be served. (RCW 90.58.320) Dralf Harrison District Plan -,~ - ~'2 7/'25/96 4 Concerns - Residents, business persons and property owners were invited to a series of meetings to discuss issues and opportunities in the neighborhood. They helped brainstorm lists of assets, problems, and opportunities at the June 1995 meeting. Participants at the August 1995 meeting then completed a survey to help identify key issues and preferred solutions. (Detailed results are included in the Appendix.) The neighborhood has many assets that should be protected: Business District Regionat health care complex Employment center - most of city's 2,600 health services jobs Neighborhood shopping center Restaurants and other eateries High bluff shoreline -- potential for redevelopment Convenient to Wheaton retail corridor Residen Ual Areas + Stable residential areas Senior housing opportunities Vacant lots with utilities available Access and Circulation Access from Warren-Wheaton corridor Bus service Sidewalks in most areas Draft Hardson District Plan 4-1 4/23/96 Recreation Sheridan Community Center, Sheridan Park, bowling alley East Park Nature Area -- open space and buffer Stephenson Canyon and Lions Field nearby EastPark and Bremerton Municipal swimming Pool close Community Theater Spectacular water and mountain views Problems The neighborhood has some problems that should be addressed, mindful that problems can present oppodunities for positive change. Health care center Medical center encroachment into residential area Lack of planned areas for medical center expansion Inadequate hospital parking Lack of understanding of economic rote of medical center Need for new helicopter access to hospital when present site becomes unavailable Noise from hospital air conditioners disturbs nearby residents Residential areas Unclear boundary between medical and residential uses - land use conflicts (especially on Cherry Place cul-de-sac) Traffic disruptions to residential neighborhoods Deteriorating rental houses Few vacant lots Access and circulation Poor access to neighborhood for southbound traffic on Wheaton Way Poor access to neighborhood from south via narrow Manette Bridge Difficult to give directions to neighborhood because of name confusion between "upper" and "lower" ("Old") Wheaton Way Rough roadways to hospital ~- can be painful for injured ambulance passengers Problem intersections: · Wheaton Way southbound -- poor access to neighborhood via SheridanANheaton Draft Harrison District Plan 4-2 6r26/96 · Wheaton/Sheridan -- no left turn allowed from Wheaton westbound onto Sheridan (many take shortcut through private property to proceed north on Wheaton Way) · Callahan/Wheaton - poor sight distance to cross Wheaton eastbound on Callahan · Cherry/Callahan -- poor sight distance to cross Callahan northbound on Cherry · Clare/Callahan northbound - unsafe to turn right onto Callahan off- ramp from Clare northbound (danger of collision with fast traffic exiting Warren via off-ramp) · Callahan off-ramp/Warren on-ramp -- eastbound traffic turns left from Callahan off-ramp nodhbound to Warren on-ramp even though illegal and unsafe · Hemlock/Clare -- danger to turn left from Hemlock to Clare from fast (downhill) southbound traffic on Clare · Campbell Way/Lebo/Clare -- difficult obtuse angle turn from Campbell westbound onto Lebo (poor sight distance to east) · Campbell Way/Wheaton -- difficult obtuse angle turn from Campbell eastbound onto Old Wheaton (poor sight distance to north) Poor or no sidewalks in some areas · Gap in sidewalk in front of vacant lot along west side of Wheaton north of Sheridan Village -- pedestrians must use a narrow trail or walk on street [See Identified Traffic Issues map on next page.] Shorelines Many commercial uses turn "backs" to shoreline Shoreline "view corridor" requirements restrict development Public visual and physical access to shorelines is scarce Neighborhood Character and Image Neglected property and vacant lots downgrade value of nearby property -- old abandoned foundations cause safety problems, attract transients Visual clutter - signs, wires, etc. -- detracts from scenic views and overall appearance Lack of physical definition of area interferes with a sense of "place" Other Scotch broom plantings on Warren Avenue Bridge approach - may aggravate allergies when in bloom (nearby residents of retirement housing report distress) Draft Harrison Distdct Plan 4 -3 6~6~6 PARK NAVAL AREA IDENTIFIED TRAFFIC ISSUES Shcridnn/W:~rren/Whe:~lon Whe:~lon/Callahan Caml~bcll Way Warrcn/Callahan/Ch~re C:~llahan/Cherry Cherry/Ash Iliclmry Slrcel Soulhbound Warren Ol'f-ramI} Drotl Harrison District Plan 4-4 4t23/96 Opportunities The assets and problems identified above help suggest opportunities for neighborhood improvement.

Draft Harrison District Plan 4 - 6 4/'23/96 ,~,' ~ 5 Vision for the Harrison Distri;t The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan is based on an overall "vision" of the community's future. This vision is presented in Element "B" of the plan -- The Vision for Bremerton -- in the form of a series of vision statements that describe the future Bremedon will work to achieve. Those comprehensive plan vision statements most directly applicable to the Harrison district are listed in the following section. A set of special vision statements for the district follows. The Vision for Brernerton Bremerton -- 20 Years From Now The comprehensive planning process involves an assessment of our community's strengths and weaknesses, problems, and opportunities for improvement. Through our visions, goals, and courses of action, we can greatly influence our future by directing change. The following vision statements will show us the direction we intend to go and where we will be twenty years from now. During the next twenty years, Bremerton will experience the greatest population and development increases since World War IL The new growth will be planned, prepedy serviced, and accepted with care to ensure that it will be beneficial and not disruptive to the community. Harrison Hospital will continue to play a major roll in the provision of medical servicees and its surrounding district will continue to grow and strengthen its role as a regional health services center. Neighborhoods will continue to evolve, improve, and become more attractive, comfortable, and desirable. They will provide a greater varietj/ of housing options, affordable to a larger share of the market, and will become stronger and more stable as the proportion of owner-occupants gradually increases. Draft Harrison District Plan 4/23/96 Neighborhoods The quality and stability of neighborhoods are indicators ora community's overali health. We generaliy associate "quality" with a number of factors that include the/eve/of properly maintenance, neighborhood pride, peace and quiet, and the nature and style of the architecture, landscaping, and overall design, l~remerton has a great variety of housing choices. Some neighborhoods are in need of protection while others need rehabilitation or, in some cases, redevelopment. Bremerton will continue to provide homes for Naval personnel and workers frem all sectors of the local economy, retirees, Seattle commuters, and others. We will continue to strive for a variety and a good balance of housing opportunities for ali economic and social segments of the community. We will see a greater emphasis on home ownership as a means of achieving a higher degree of neighborhood maintenance and pride, and to offer the American dream of home ownership to more Bremerton residents. In order to achieve a higher level of home ownership, a greater emphasis will be placed on the provision of small, private, affordable single-family homes, both in new subdivisions and as "in-fill" within existing neighborhoods. Condominiums and other forms of ownership will increase in popularity. Historic preservation wili play a greater role in Bremerton's future as certain unique areas and structures are recognized for their historical value. Neighborhood quafity, safety, stabifity, and affordabifity will be given increased consideration in ali community improvement programs. Bremerton will suppo[t its neighborhoods through greater a variability of community services and improved maintenance of streets and other public facilities. Urban Governmental Services Public involvement in local govemment will continue to be encouraged. There will be expanded opportunities for participafion at both the neighborhood and community levels. Public access television, computer bulletin boards, and other advances in electronic technology will play greater roles in linking the local citizenry with the business of their elected officials. The Vision for the Harrison District The Vision for the Harrison district is consistent with the Vision for Bremerton. It refines and focuses the city-wide vision to address neighborhood concerns. Draft Harrison District Plan 5 - 2 4/23/96 Neighborhood Identity and Charaoter The Harrison district features a thriving regional healthcare center, a vibrant business district, and attractive, stable residential areas within walking distance of shopping and services. Attractive, Iow signing and underground wiring enhance scenic mountain and water views. Public and private properly are well maintained, discouraging crime and protecting properly values. An active neighborhood council provides a place to meet new friends, exchange information, watchdog new public and private development and discuss common problems. It also furnishes a clear, organized way to speak to elected officials and city agencies. Regional Healthcare Center The Olympic View regional healthcare center consists of various medical and medically-related uses linked together by circulation patterns and an overall "campus" theme. B. Convenient, adequate parking is available to hospital patients, visitors and staff. Priority is given to protecting existing and encouraging new uses related to health care within the healthcare center. Business District A thriving neighborhood shopping center, healthcare support services and related businesses serve the needs of healthcare center patrons and employees, and nearby residents. Commercial areas are designed so as to be good neighbors to residential areas. Heights are controlled to protect residential views, and screening and buffering conceal parking and utility areas. Residential Areas Residential areas are clearly separated from business areas to protect them from commercial encroachment. A variety of housing types are available to meet needs of a mix of needs and incomes. Draft Harrison District Plan 5-3 4r23/96 Housing that provides healthcare services and housing for healthcare district employees are available within walking distance of the healthcare/business district employment center. Access and Circulation Safe and convenient access is available from the Warren/Wheaton corridor to the healthcare/business district. Traffic is routed so as to discourage non-residential traffic in residential neighborhoods. Bike lanes along main streets encourage bicycle travel within and through the district. The district is a pedestrian-friendly place, with tree-lined sidewalks connecting the healthcare/business district with residential areas. Recreation A variety of recreational activities is available to residents, employees and business patrons, ranging from organized spods at the community center to scenic walks along the shoreline and through the Eastpark nature reserve. B. A network of walkways connects parks, business areas and other activity centers. Sheridan Park is devoted to recreational uses, with outdoor equipment storage relocated to a convenient non-shoreline area. A shoreline access system provides a walkway along the top of the bluff, viewpoints with benches, and a stairway to the beach. Draft Harrison District Plan 5-4 4~3~6 6 The District Plan The Harrison District Plan provides a general picture of the land use and circulation patterns that will be encouraged in the neighborhood over the next 15-20 years. It includes proposals to address many of the issues that have been identified. The adoption of this plan expands upon the city-wide Bremerton Comprehensive Plan. The Harrison District Plan supersedes the comprehensive plan in any case where they may differ. The Plan consists of the five elements required by the Growth Management Act, along with two optional elements: Required Elements * Land Use Transportation Housing Capital Facilities Utilities Optional Elements + Recreation + Shoreline Access The District Plan includes: + A Goal to identify the "end" toward which the City is striving. In addition, each District Plan Element includes: + Policies to guide land use decisions, and ~ Strategies to carry out the intents of policies. Dral~ Hardson District Plan Land Use Element The uses of land establish the overall character of an area. For example, whether land can be used for industry or for housing makes all the difference in a neighborhood. Along with a district goal, policies, and strategies, the Land Use sec[ion includes a plan map to designate areas for various uses. In addition, a Development Concept is included for the Campbell Way business area. Goal It is the goal of the City of Bremerton to: Strengthen the Harrison District health care center and business district, while protecting the quality of life for nearby residents. Health Care Center It is the intent of the City of Bremerfon to protect and strengthen the Hardson District medical center in order to ensure that it remains viable and successful. The hospital and related medical services are an important asset to the city, and form a vital part of the local economy. The City will plan sufficient areas for medical center expansion, and protect these areas from uses that could diminish the function of the area as a regional health care center. The City will work with health care providers to improve access to and parking in the medical center. The City will ensure that emergency helicopter access to the hospital can be provided in the future when the existing site at Bremerton Middle School is no longer available. Policies 1. Strengthen the role of the district as a regional health services center. 2. Plan sufficient appropriate areas for medical center expansion to meet future needs. Establish a health care "campus" area within which medical and related uses will be preferred uses. a. Allow non-medically-related uses only if they will not un.dermine the health care campus concept. 4. Limit parking lot expansion while increasing parking options. 5. Identify and protect a new hospital emergency helicopter access area from conflicting uses. Draft Harrison District Plan 6 - 2 7/25/96 6. Minimize conflicts between the medical center and residential areas. Strategies 1. Educate the community on the benefits of maintaining a medical center in the city. 2. Encourage formation of a Harrison District health care providers association that can work for the common good of the health care district. 3. Work with health care providers to develop a health care campus concept plan to tie together medical and related uses into a unified area. a. Develop a circulation plan that minimizes major entrances to the area and directs traffic along preferred routes. b. Develop a pedestrian circulation system that encourages walking. c. Develop a street tree and landscaping plan that emphasizes theme plantings along boundaries and at major entrances. d. Establish a plan for coordinated outdoor furnishings (benches, trash receptacles, lighting, etc.) and signing. 4. Explore options to construct a parking garage to serve the health care campus. a. Work with the health care campus community to form a Business and Parking Improvement Area (BPIA) to coordinate and manage parking. b. Consider issuing city parking revenue bonds to finance construction of a parking garage. c. Encourage the hospital to improve parking for patients and visitors. 5. Facilitate the construction of an emergency access hetipad convenient to the hospital emergency room entrance. Shoreline Mbred Use Area It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to establish a special mixed use district along the shoreline that responds to the special opportunities and constraints of the high bluff shoreline. Most existing uses along the shoreline date back to the days before construction of the Warren Avenue Bridge when "Lower" Wheaton Waywas the main arterial connecting east and west Bremedon. The City will encourage redevelopment of the area for residential and/or commercial uses which take advantage of and enhance this high bluff shoreline location. The City will discourage development which endangers the stability of the bluff or the function of the Tracyton Beach Natural System. The City will modify development requirements for this section of shoreline to provide more flexibility in siting development between the edge of the street and the top of the bluff. Draft Hardson District Plan 6- 3 7~5~6 Policies Protect the integrity of the high bluff landform and the Tracyton Beach Natural System. a. Do not allow development to "step down" the bluff. b. Encourage vegetation management to preserve views while protecting steep slopes. 2. Allow a mix of commercial and/or residential uses along the shoreline, providing that any commercial use is water-oriented. a. A water-oriented commercial use is a use which qualifies as a water- dependent, water-related, or water-enjoyment use under the Bremerton Shoreline Master Program. (See Chapter 3, Shoreline Master Program Definitions inset.) Require development along the shoreline to incorporate public access consistent with the Harrison District Waterfront Access Plan. (See Parks and Recreation Element, later in this chapter.) 4. Allow proportional relief from view corridor requirements in exchange for public access over and above the minimum requirement. Strategies Update the Bremerton Shoreline Master Program (SMP) and/or Bremedon Zoning Ordinance (BZO) consistent with the Harrison District Plan. Provide increased flexibility to help compensate for the limited allowed building envelope inside the perimeter setbacks. a. Allow a portion of the SMP view corridor requirement to be satisfied by payment of a fee to a public access fund. b. Allow the SMP public access requirement to be satisfied by provision of a public access viewpoint along with payment of a fee to a public access fund. c. Establish a Harrison District Shoreline Public Access fund for deposit of fees in lieu of public access and view corridors, with the proceeds dedicated for purchase and development of park lands within the Harrison District shoreline area. d. Require a minimum setback from the top of the shoreline bluff until such time as a comprehensive study of the Tracyton Beach Natural System provides technical guidance for development. e. Require a minimum setback along the side yard without a view corridor to provide separation between buildings on adjacent sites. Dratf Hardson District Plan Increase the height limit within the SMU Area to help compensate for the limited building areas between the setbacks from the top of the bluff and the street. 2. Seek a grant(s) to conduct a geotechnical study of the Tracyton Beach Natural System, including high bluff areas, to determine development constraints and prescribe measures for protection of these features where necessary, including: setbacks, lot area coverage requirements, size of lots and development sites; height limits; density limits; and restoration of ground cover and bluff vegetation. a. Encourage property owners to padicipate financially as padners in the study in order to ensure that owner concerns are considered in more detail and to help build a cooperative approach to protection of the bluff. b. Investigate the feasibility of a bulkhead/pathway between Lent Lane Park and East 16th Street to stabilize the bluff and provide public access along the shoreline. Harrison Business Disfriot It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to protect and strengthen the Harrison business district. A strong business area will enhance the viability of the health care campus and nearby residential neighborhoods. Although several businesses have modernized their facilities in recent years, the district lacks a sense of cohesion. The City will strive to help the district become more attractive and pedestrian-friendly. Policies 1. Work with the Harrison business district to build on its strengths and become a strong, viable commercial area that provides welcome suppod services to the health care campus and nearby residential areas. 2. Encourage pedestrian-oriented commercial development convenient to the health care campus that will encourage walk-in customers. Encourage a unifying theme using street trees, landscaping, signing and outdoor furnishings to strengthen the character and identity of the business district. Strategies 1. Encourage formation of a Harrison District merchants association that can work for the common good of the business district. Draft Harrison District Plan 6-5 7~5~6 Work with the district to develop a unifying theme, using street trees, landscaping, signing and outdoor furnishings. a. Provide assistance from the City forester to help develop a street tree plan. Oly'n~pio View Business Park It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to encourage redevelopment of the Olympic View commercial area to maximize the potential of its key location. By closing "Lower" Wheaton Way at Sheridan Road, the City will not only solve a traffic circulation problem, but will allow unification of an existing office site with the site of the former Olympic View School to create the potential for a modern business park. Policies 1. Encourage a planned business development at the site of the former Olympic View School. 2. Close "lower" Wheaton Way south of Sheridan Road at such time as the Wheaton Way south-found off-ramp is constructed. Strategies Work with Sheridan Junction property owners to close the "Lower" Wheaton Way intersection with Sheridan Road. a. Create a historic site pocket park at Hal's Corner by enlarging the existing beautification spot using some of the closed right-of-way. Also see Chapter 6 - Parks and Recreation Element) b. Vacate the remaining Wheaton Way right-of-way to adjoining properly owners if requested. c. Earmark any revenues from the sale of Wheaton Way rights-of-way for improvements to the Hal's Corner pocket park and/or related transportation improvements within the Harrison District. Residential ~lreas It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to foster strong, fiveable residential neighborhoods in the Harrison District. The City recognizes the connection between liveable neighborhoods and the overall health of the district. The City intends to focus its resources to help improve the quality and stability of these neighborhoods. There is a shodage of land for medium and high-density housing within the district. Circumstances have changed, and some lands that have been designated for office and for Iow density housing are more suitable for medium and high-density housing. The City will redesignate land for such use in appropriate areas. Draft Harrison District Plan 6 - 6 7/25/96 Policies 1. Foster healthy, liveable residential areas in the Harrison District. 2. Provide adequate areas for medium and high density residential development. 3. Encourage property owners to maintain and improve the condition of housing in the Harrison District. 4. Establish clear boundaries between residential areas and adjacent business areas. a. Adjust comprehensive plan designations and zoning district boundaries to create logical boundaries beb,veen uses. b. Incorporate traffic calming features in heavily used residential streets. c. When feasible, improve the condition of existing sidewalks and install new sidewalks where none exist. 5. Require effective screening and buffering of business uses adjacent to residential areas. 6. Encourage underground wiring in areas affecting residential views. Strategies 1. Designate additional land for medium and high density housing on the comprehensive plan map. 2. Incorporate sidewalks and traffic calming measures into City public works projects when feasible. X. and Use Plan The Land Use Plan Map for the Harrison District puts form to the Vision and implements the Land Use policies for the district. It refines the recommendations in the Land Use Element of the city-wide comprehensive plan. The general land use categories in the plan establish a framework for zoning designations to follow. The District Land Use Plan Map designates areas where various land uses wilt be allowed. The plan features the following changes to the city-wide land use plan map: Draf; Harrison District Plan 7/25/96 A new Health Services designation protects scarce commercial land for health care-related uses, such as hospitals, medical offices, and pharmacies. A new Mixed Use/Shoreline designation responds to the special constraints posed by small properties limited by a high bluff along the shoreline and by traffic impacts from the "lower" Wheaton Way arterial along the upland. A reconfigured Olympic View business park area is created by closing "lowed' Wheaton Way at Sheridan Road. (Also see Chapter 6 - Transportation Element for optional reconfiguration of lower Wheaton Way, which would change the configuration of the Olympic View business park area.) Future acquisition of adjacent property for expansion of Sheridan Park is shown. The former commercial designation north of Callahan and west of Wheaton has been redesignated for medium and high density housing.

Trails & l'athways Future Acquisition for Park Expansion Figure 7 The Harrison District Land Use Plan Draft Harrison District Plan 6 - ~) 7/25/96 Transportation Element A number of transportation-related issues have surfaced in the Harrison District. Most are related to the proximity of the district to State Highway 303 (Wheaton Way), and the conversion of an old naval facility to a regional medical center. Intent and Recommendations The following sections contain statements of intent and recommendations for several roadways in the district. l, Vheafon Way - Southbound Off-Ramp It is the intent of the City of Bremerfon to improve access to the Harrison District from "upped' Wheaton Way, with a focus on improving emergency vehicle access to Harrison hospital. The City will construct a south-bound off-ramp from Wheaton Way for this purpose as soon as complete funding can be obtained. The City will close "lower" Wheaton Way at Sheridan Road at the time the off- ramp is constructed. Recommendations: 1. Wheaton Way South-Bound Off-Ramp: Construct a south-bound off-ramp from Wheaton Way to Lebo Boulevard via Juniper Street. a, Work with business district property owners to establish a Local Improvement District (LID) to raise remaining revenues needed to construct the Warren Avenue off-ramp, b. Earmark revenues from the sale of any vacated right-of-way within the Harrison District for construction of the Warren Avenue off-ramp. Wheaton Way Cul-de-sac: Close "lower" Wheaton Way south of Sheridan Road in conjunction with construction of the south-bound off-ramp. a. Work with adjoining property owners to design a cul-de-sac or turn- around at the north end of "lower" Wheaton Way. b. Vacate adequate Wheaton Way right-of-way to the Parks Department for expansion of the Hal's Corner beautification area. c. Vacate surplus right-of-way to adjoining owners upon request. 14lbeaton Way- Sheridan Road Intersection It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to eliminate the existing substandard intersection of "lowed' Wheaton Way and Sheridan Road. Thi~ intersection will be closed in conjunction with the construction of the south-bound off-ramp from "upper" Wheaton Way (see above section). However, the City will identify a "preferred alternative" Wheaton/Sheridan intersection in the event the property owner should request approval of such an intersection. Recommendation: Draft Harrison District Plan 6 - 10 7/25/96 1. Preferred Alternative for Wheaton/Sheridan Intersection: Realign lower Wheaton Way so as to extend nodhward from Callahan Drive through the former Olympic View School site to Sheridan Road if requested by the properly owner. The City will not pursue this alternative unless it is initiated by the property owner, ililbeafon Wa)/- Rename It is the intent of the City of Bremedon to help make it easier to find the Harrison District by re-naming lower Wheaton Way. Recommendation: 1. Change the name of lower Wheaton Way to "Manette Way" between Sheridan Road and the Manette Bridge. a. The timing of this name change should coincide with the closure of lower Wheaton Way at Sheridan. b. Affected properly owners should be given ample notice to minimize confusion, inconvenience and expense. Campbell Wa)/ It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to realign or close Campbefl Way in such a way as to improve traffic safety and to stimulate redevelopment and infill of adjoining properties. The City will work with the affected property owners to select a configuration that accomplishes these ends. A discussion of several alternative configurations is included in the Appendix. (See Appendix __ Campbell Way Development Concepts.) Recommendations: 1. Work with abutting property owners to realign or close and vacate Campbell Way. 2. Protect public access to Main Street in any reconfiguration. 3. During the interim until a long-term solution is found, close off either the west or east end of Campbell Way, or designate it as a one-way street. It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to close Ash Street at the intersection with Cherry Avenue in order to divert non-residential traffic away from the residential area. Recommendations: Close the south end of Ash Street at Cherry to separate the health care center from the residential area. a. Retain sufficient right-of-way to provide access to the East park Nature Area and water reservoir. Draft Harrison District Plan 6 - '/1 ~.~ 7/25/96 b. Vacate surplus right-of-way to adjoining owners for incorporation into the health care complex in exchange for construction of a turn-around at the south end of Ash Street. c. Work with abutting properly owners to design a cul-de-sac or turn-around at the south end of Ash Street. Cherry Avenue It is the intent of the City of Bremerfon to prevent traffic congestion on Cherry Avenue between Callahan Drive and Sheridan Road where feasible. It is expected that some pressure on Cherry would be relieved if the City is able to reach an agreement to realign and extend "lower" Wheaton Way to a new intersection east of its present location at Sheridan Road. Other minor improvements, such as a left turn lane, may relieve congestion significantly. /Recommendations: Make appropriate improvements to Cherry Avenue between Sheridan Road and Callahan Drive to relieve congestion on Cherry. This could include a left turn lane to Sheridan, and may or may not include widening Cherry. Callahan Drive It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to improve traffic safety at the intersection of Callahan Drive and Wheaton Way. Recommendation: Designate Callahan - Wheaton - Cherry - Hickory as the main route from the Warren Avenue Bridge north-bound off-ramp to the hospital, and make corresponding improvements to increase safety and comfort for injured passengers being transported in emergency vehicles. Clare Street It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to improve traffic safety on Clare Street. Recommendations: 1. Close the Clare Street connection to the Callahan Drive off-ramp from Wheaton Way. Provide a turn-around for north-bound traffic on Clare. 2. Target southbound traffic on Clare Street for strict enforcement to discourage speeding. Housing Element The main housing issues in the Harrison District concern the affect of deteriorating housing on surrounding areas, and a shortage of affordable housing for senior citizens. Draft Harrison District Plan 6- 12 7~5~6 Policies 1. Encourage home ownership in Harrison District residential areas. 2. Strengthen the liveability of residential areas to promote home ownership. 3. Encourage property owners to maintain and improve residential properties. 4. Encourage redevelopment of existing lower density residential areas convenient to main streets for higher density housing. 5. Encourage development of affordable housing for Iow income senior citizens convenient to health services and shopping. Strategies 1. Identify eligible target areas in the Harrison District for the City's home improvement loan program. 2. Designate appropriate areas for higher density housing. 3. Encourage residents to file complaints with the City on dwelling units which appear to be in violation of city codes. Capital Facilities Element The Harrison District Plan includes a number of recommendations that could result in capital facilities expenditures by the City over the coming years. Those recommended for inclusion in the City's current Six-year Finance Plan are listed below. Wheaton Way Off-Ramp/Cul-de~sac Construction $400,000 Clare Street Connector $25,000 Sheridan Park - Expand park to southeast $126,000 Total = $551,000 Draft Harrison District Plan 7/25/96 Utilities Element The recommendations in the Harrison District Plan are generally consistent with the adopted city-wide comprehensive plan and are not expected to result in a need for any changes in the provision of utilities. Parks and Recreation Element The city-wide Bremerton Comprehensive Plan does not yet contain a Parks and Recreation Element. The City did adopt a Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan in January 1995, shortly before the city-wide plan was adopted. Adoption of this District Plan will update both plans. Goal It is the goal of the City of Bremerton to: Develop a high quality, diversified park system in the Harrison District to serve residents, employees and visitors to the area. Sheridan Park It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to expand and improve Sheridan Park. The City recognizes that Sheridan Park can and should be the jewel of the Harrison District. It should be redeveloped so as maximize its priceless high bluff shoreline location. In view of the nearby health care facilities, it should be designated a community/regional park and be made handicap-accessible. The City recognizes that, in the long term, the Parks Maintenance Facility site should be redeveloped for recreation use, and the maintenance facility should be relocated to a site away from the shoreline that is more suited to its industrial- type use. However, the City will only relocate the maintenance facility if all Parks Department staff can be housed together at a new site. The existing facility will continue to be used until a viable alternative is developed. Policies Designate lower Sheridan Park as a community/regional park to serve users of the regional health care facility as well as local residents and employees. Expand the size of Sheridan Park if additional property can be acquired. Relocate the maintenance facility if an alternative site for the Parks and Recreation Department is acquired, and redevelop the maintenance facility site for recreation use if and when an alternative site is developed. Draft Hardson Distdct Plan 6 - 14 . 7/25/96 4. Provide a Iow key park setting for picnicking, resting and informal play. 5. Provide facilities for handicapped users. 6. Enhance scenic viewing opportunities. 7. Manage vegetation so as to protect the stability of the high bluff. Strategies 1. Seek funds to expand Sheridan Park if vacant property adjacent to the park can be acquired. 2. Provide a covered picnic area. Provide facilities for handicapped persons, including handicap parking, a handicap access ramp, and a handicap-accessible pathway to and along the bluff overlooking the shoreline. Find a suitable site away from the shoreline to relocate the parks maintenance storage facility, keeping in mind a cohesive Parks and Recreation Department operation, and redevelop the existing site for recreational use. 5. Develop a vegetation management plan to open up scenic views while increasing bluff stability. 6. Effectively block and restore user-created trails down the bluff to a natural state. Seek an agreement with the State Department of Transpodation permitting the City to construct a pathway along the top of the bluff and to install and maintain landscaping along the sidewalk in the Warren Avenue Bridge right- of-way between Sheridan Park and the Community Theater. Sheridan Park Community Center It is the intent of the City of Bremerfon to provide gym space and meeting rooms for community/regional use and recreation programming at the. Sheridan Park Community Center. For the short term, the City will provide office space for the staff of the Parks and Recreation Depadment at the community center. For the long term, the City will determine whether to relocate the Department and maintenance facility or keep them at the present site. Draft Hardson District Plan 6- 15 7/25/96 The City will continue to make improvements to the facility to extend its useful life. A lack of adequate parking for users and staff at the center limits potential uses of the center. As a result, many staff and users must park on the unimproved parking strip across Lebo Boulevard, creating pedestrian safety concerns. These concerns will only be exacerbated when completion of the proposed south-bound off-ramp from Wheaton Way directs emergency vehicles and other traffic into the Harrison District via Lebo Boulevard. The City will seek ways to improve parking and pedestrian safety at the Community Center. Policies 1. Renovate the Sheridan Park Community Center as a community/regional recreation and meeting facility. Strategies Do a parking and circulation plan for the community center to provide adequate parking and improve safety. a. Consider reconfiguring and/or enlarging the existing parking lots to provide adequate short-term parking for community center users. b. Determine how to improve the safety of the on-street parking. Reconfigure the parking on the south side of Lebo Boulevard to meet City standards, so that vehicles do not back out into the street in order to leave. c. Consider constructing a long-term parking lot for staff and other long- term users at the maintenance facility site in lower Sheridan Park. 2. Improve safety at the pedestrian crossing area between the Community Center and lower Sheridan Park, making the crossing handicap accessible. Install a crosswalk if possible, and/or install traffic calming facilities consistent with maintaining traffic flow along Lebo Boulevard. 3. Conduct a facilities study to determine the best long-term location for the Parks and Recreation Department facilities, including the recreation center and the maintenance facility. EastPa~"k Natu~'e ,llt'ea It is the intent of the City of Bremerfon to maintain the East Park Nature Area as a community/regional conservancy area to preserve and protect a wooded habitat and buffer area and provide urban open space. The City will provide only limited park facilities, consistent with Iow key use of the area. Any significant changes in use would require approval under the City Parks Protection Ordinance per Bremerton Municipal Code Chapter 13.12. Dra~ Harrison District Plan 6 - 16 7f25/96 Policies 1. Designate the East Park Nature Area as a community/regional conservancy area, while providing limited park facilities for local, walk-in use. 2. Protect the East Park Nature Area from encroachment by non-park uses. Allow continuance of the joint use parking lot next to the hospital. Consider permitting use of the site for a parking garage if designed to be sensitive to the conservancy role of the area. Strategies 1. Provide picnic tables convenient to the Ash Street entrance to the East Park Nature Area for walk~in users. Off-street parking will not be provided. Develop a trail system within the Nature Area, including a pathway linking this area to the East Park active use area. Add interpretive signs as appropriate to encourage appreciation of the natural functions of the area. Determine the best long-term use of the existing joint-use parking Iot next to the hospital. Consider whether a parking structure could be developed at the site that would not further degrade the function of the nature area. Hal's Corner It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to maintain and enlarge the Hal's Comer beautification area to create an historic site pocket park for ~ermanent display of the U.S.S. Missouri gun enplacements. Policies 1. Designate the Hal's Corner beautification area as a neighborhood pocket park. 2. Expand the Hal's Corner beautification area to create an historic site pocket park for local use and display of the U.S.S. Missouri guns. Strategies Vacate a portion of the Wheaton Way right-of-way to enlarge the Hat's Corner site at such time as lower Wheaton Way is closed to traffic at the Sheridan Road intersection. Draft Harrison District Plan 6-17 7/25/96 2. Dedicate a portion of the proceeds from any sale of facated Wheaton Way right-of-way for development of the Hal's Corner pocket park. 3. Add some picnic tables to the Hal's Corner pocket park to serve nearby residents and employees. · 'Olyn~pio View" Reservoi~' Court It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to maintain recreational use of the top of the City water reservoir located just south of the former Olympic View School, south of Sheridan Road. The City will maintain the court for recreational use, provided such use is consistent with the City's water quality program. The City will endeaver to provide access to the reservoir from lower Wheaton Way so that access over the former school site will not be required. Policies 1. Designate the top of the "Olympic View" water reservoir for controlled community/regional use, consistent with water quality requirements. 2. Provide or acquire access to the "Olympic View" reservoir court from city right-of-way. Strategies 1. Continue to hold basketball clinics and/or other controlled recreational programs on the "Olympic View" reservoir-top. 2. Determine how to best provide access to the reservoir without using private property. Main Sfreet Beach llccess It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to provide a view platform and beach access stair or pathway over the Main Street right-of-way. The City recognizes that small sites like this are often not cost-effective, and that this access may not be feasible in the short term. In the long term, when resources allow, the City is committed to providing a modest waterfront access facility at this platted, undeveloped city street. Policies 1. Designate the Main Street Beach Access as a future viewpoint and beach access facility to function as an extension or Sheridan Park. Draft Harrison District Plan 6-18 7/25/96 Strategies 1. Create a design concept for a view platform and beach access facility on the Main Street right-of-way. lYlagnussen Viewpoint It is the intent of the City of Bremerton to maintain the Magnussen Viewpoint as one of the only overlooks along the east shore of the Manette Peninsula. The City is committed to preserving the public's ability to locate and enjoy this very special mini-viewpoint. The City recognizes that only minor additional facilities at this very small, steep site may be cost-effective or necessary in the near term. In the long term, the City will investigate the possibility of a view platform and beach stairway down the steep bluff. Policies Designate the Magnussen Viewpoint as a Iow intensity neighborhood pocket park for the purpose of public access to waterfront views and potential beach access. 2. Establish pedestrian use as a priority over parking of cars at the Magnussen Viewpoint. Strategies Create a small pedestrian area, performing occasional stratigic pruning to open up peek-aboo views. Install a bench and other amenities if there is room between the fence and the parking area. 2. Install a few parking stalls, including handicap parking, consistent with city standards. Install facilities to more clearly identify the site as a public viewpoint and delineate it from the adjacent business parking area, e.g. signing closer to the road, bollards along the side property line, etc. 4. Adopt a vegetation management plan to help stabilize the bluff as appropriate. 5. Investigate the feasibility of constructing a view platform and beach access facility at some future time when funding is available. Harrison Distriot Waterfront Aooess "Link" Plan Draft Harrison District Plan 6- 19 7/25/96 It is the intent of the City of Bremerton that the adoption of this Hardson District Plan includes adoption of applicable parts of this parks section as a waterfront access "link"plan for the Harrison District shoreline. This plan will guide provision of public access for shoreline development subject to Bremerton Shoreline Master Program and Bremerton Waterfront Access Plan public access requirements. Policies Recognize applicable portions of the Harrison District Plan as an adopted Waterfront Access "Link" Plan, which is intended to provide guidance for the development of public access as required by the Bremerton Shoreline Master Program. Applicable portions include those sections pertaining to Sheridan Park, Main Street, and the Magnussen Viewpoint. Require development along the Harrison District shoreline to provide an upland sidewalk and/or pathway to and along the top of the bluff, connecting existing or proposed water access areas where specified by this waterfront access "link" plan, including appropriate trees, signs and street furnishings. 3. Permit or provide payment in lieu of providing public access by contribution to a special Harrison District waterfront access fund. Strategies 1. Adopt a plan specifying appropriate trees, signs and street furnishings for use along the Harrison District WaterFront Access "Link" Plan. Establish a speciat shoreline public access fund for deposit of payments in lieu of providing public access along the Harrison District shoreline. Dedicate this fund toward improving public access on public property along the Harrison District shoreline. Construct bluff-top pathway linkages for all City shoreline properties in the Harrison District, between Magnussen Viewpoint and the Community Theater. a. Seek permission from the State Depadment of Transportation to construct a pathway link along the top of' the bluff in the Warren Avenue Bridge right-of-way underneath the bridge. CHAPT_6.HDP Draft Harrison Distdct Plan 6 - 20 7/25/96 Implementing Regulations Certain new or changed development regulations will be needed in order to implement the Harrison District Plan. These include amendments to the City's Zoning and Shoreline Management ordinances. Zoning Ordinance Introduction The Harrison District Plan will guide future changes and improvements. But plans alone can't get the job done and usually need the assistance of regulations to implement the goals and policies. Most land use regulations are contained in the City's Zoning Ordinance (or Development Code). The entire district is zoned, but the present zoning wasn't based on this Plan and doesn't accurately reflect its detailed objectives in some key areas. To achieve the balance of land uses that is visualized in this Plan, two specific new zones are offered for consideration. This zoning process will continue beyond adoption of the Plan since the process of review, refinement and adoption of regulations is lengthy and doesn't fit within the time constraints of the Harrision District Plan project. State law requires that plans and their implementing regulations be consistent with each other. If the zoning doesn't carry out the Plan effectively, either the Plan or the zoning may need to be adjusted later to achieve consistency. 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 Draft Harrison District Plan 7/25196 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. B. Minimum Development Standards Minimum Lot Size None Maximum Lot Coverage 60% (building coverage) Minimum Lot Width None Max. Building Height 60 ft. (higher requires PUD) Max.

Allowed Land Uses (SUP = requires Special Use Permit approval) Primary Uses: The following are encouraged as the preferred uses within this zone. Medical & Social Svcs. - Hospital Medical - OMces and Out-patient Services Medical Se~ices (diagnostic, ENT, etc.) Medical Laboratory Draft Harrison District Plan 7-2 7/25/96 Recreation & Health - Other Retail Business Detoxification Center & similar facilities -- SUP Weight Control and Aerobics Drug Store or Pharmacy Glasses & Optical Goods and Sen/ices Support Uses: The following uses are permitted in support of the primary uses within this zone. Their size and intensity should not dominate, but should be compatible with the overall character and purpose of this district. Residential - Other Lodging - Entertainment/Culture - Medical & Social Svcs. - Recrealion & Health - Other Public / Quasi-Public - Government & Utility Svcs. - Eating & Drinking - Personal Services - Business Services - Other Retail Business - Auto/Transportation - Industrial / Mfg. - Residential, as a secondary use -- SUP Foster Home Day Care Facility (13 or more - all ages) Day Care Facility (12 or fewer - all ages) Group Residential Facility - Class I -- SUP Group Residential Facility - Class II -- SUP Youth, Senior, or Community Center -- SUP Social Sen/ice Facility Welfare & other charitible Services/Facilities Indoor Athletic/Recreation Facility Park, Playground or other recreational facilities Educational facitities (health care emphasis encouraged) Library Law Enforcement & Fire Facilities Water, Sewer and Stormdrain Facilities Utility Substation -- SUP Communications Antenna/Relay Tower -- SUP Antenna Tower (non-commercial) -- SUP Restaurant/Cafe Food/Beverage Take-out (no inside seating) Donut Shop, Baked Goods Delicatessen Health Foods, Supplements, Vitamins, etc. Hair Care and Personal Grooming Personal/Family Counseling Services Convenience banking and financial services Office/Business Assistance Services General Offices Book Store (newspapers, magazines, etc.) Stationery, Paper Products, Office supplies Flowers, Gifts and Greeting Cards Non-accessory Parking (structure or tot) Recycling Collection Stations Draft Harrison Distdct Plan 7-3 7~5~6 Shoreline Mixed Use (SMU) zone: A. Purpose and Objectives The purpose of this zone is to establish a mixed use district that responds to the constraints and special oppodunities of the high bluff areas that lie to the south of Wheaton Way, Campbell Way and Lebo Boulevard. The following primary objectives were considered in the development of the SMU zone: 1. Maximize the potential of bluff-top areas through redevelopment and infill. 2. Promote a mix of water-oriented commercial, office and residential uses. Ensure that new development is designed and sited to take advantage of high bluff views while enhancing the unique qualities of the shoreline Ioca§on. 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) 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 I~remerton'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. B. Minimum Development Standards Minimum Lot Size None Maximum Lot Coverage 50% Minimum Lot Width None Max. Building Height 40 ff. Max. Building Size None Draff Harrison District Plan 7-4 7/25196 Building Setbacks (measured from property lines) Front: Bluff-top: Side: Rear: 10 fi. min. 25 fi:. min. or as determined by a geo-technical report 5 ft. min. (also subject to view corddor requirements) 10 ft. min. 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. A hard surface accessible public walkway and easement should be provided along the bluff-top as part of projects within this zone to achieve objective #5. Because view and amenities are of foremost importance, the City will give greater weight to public amenities that are provided along the bluff-top walkway or beach access, in exchange for relief from other constraining develoment requirements. Such relief is requested through the Variance, PUD, or Special Exception process. Commercial, office and mixed use developments shall provide a public access link from the public street to the bluff-top walkway. This link may be within a required view corridor. It may be approved as a temporary accessway until such time as the walkway is connected by other public right-of-way access points at each end. Buildings having a vedJcal 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. D.

This is an intense commercial zone that allows a variety of retail commercial, offices, services, automotive services, restaurants and fast food, and other uses. This zone forms the retail core of the Harrison District. The "GB" zone is also applied to an area referred to as the Olympic View Business Park, along the south side of Sheridan Road east of Warren Avenue. This includes the site of the former school and additional area resulting from the proposed vacation of a part of Wheaton Way. Access and visibility is excellent at this location and the "GB' zone will provide a wide variety or possibilities for future development. Dra~ Harrison Distdct Plan 7~5~6 Professional Office (PO) zone Three areas are currently zoned "PO". An area nodh of Callahan and west of Wheaton is now in residential use and proposed for medium-density residential zoning. Two segments of bluff-top shoreline property that would be included in the proposed "Shoreline Mixed Use" zone. A strip of "PO" zoning along the east side of Cherry between Ash and Callahan will be retained. If adopted as recommended, the Harrison District's final zoning would include just one "PO" zone, but would still have ample areas that would be zoned and suitable for office uses. Duplex Residential (DR) zone The "DR" zone allows a variety of dwelling types at an overall maximum density of 8 units per acre. This is the current zoning in the northeast corner of the Harrison District and will be retained for the protection of this neighborhood. Multiple-family Residential (MF) zone: This medium-density zone allows apartments and other multi-unit structures to a maximum density of 18 dwellings per acre. It has limited application at the present time, but is proposed for expansion to include the area nodh of Callahan and west of Wheaton. The district will be stronger as an active "neighborhood" if it has more full-time residents. Thus, the core of the business district is surrounded by a variety of residential zonin9 to encourage a better balance of residential and non-residential uses within walkin9 distance of each other. Mixed Residential (MR) zone: This high-density zone allows up to 44 dwellings per acre and has been applied only to the large apartment complex at the southwest corner of Sheridan Road and Schley Boulevard. No additional high-density residential areas are proposed within the Harrison District. Parks & Schools (PS) zone: The "PS" zone is not proposed for any changes. This zone includes the Sheridan Community Center, Sheridan Park, the Community Theater, the Eastpark Nature Area, and the small park at the intersection of Warren Avenue and Sheridan Road. Revised Zoning Map: The map entitled "Harrison District Proposed Zoning" is offered as the next step toward implementation of this district plan. As described above, the map shows the proposed new zones --- Health Care (HC) and Shoreline Mixed Use (SMU) -- - along with the other existing zones which have been amended to reflect the Land Use Plan for this district. Draft Harrison Distdct Plan 7-7 7/25/96 The zoning amendments are not of immediate importance to implement this Plan and not necessary to ensure Plan/Zoning consistency. However, the zoning proposals will help ensure that the Plan gets implemented sooner and more smoothly. The City's Official Zoning Map may be amended at any time. Adoption of the Harrison District Plan should be followed by serious consideration of these zoning proposals by the Planning Commission and City Council and adoption of Zoning amendments that wilt best implement the district plan.

Very few changes will be required to make the Master Program consistent with the Harrison District Plan. Environment Designations The Shoreline Master Program already permits those uses proposed in the new SMU zone. Special requirements apply to uses in the Commercial environment designation. Since the Harrison District Plan recommends that only water-dependent, water- related, and water-enjoyment uses be permitted within the new SMU zone, the Master Program would need to be changed to prohibit non-water-oriented uses within that zone. Development Standards The Master Program includes additional requirements in certain environment designations for Marine Bluff Review, Public Access, and View Protection. Marine Bluff Review The existing Marine BIuff Review requirement would allow development to "step down", or extend down the slope of, the bluff if the review determined that "any new activity on the bluff will not result in erosion or add to unstable bluff conditions that might cause damage to marine resources." To be consistent with the Harrison District Plan, the Master Program will need to be changed to prohibit development down the slope of the bluff. Exceptions may be needed for such structures as stairways to the beach. Public Access The Master Program already requires all new commercial development and multi-family development of five or more units to provide "improved public access", which consists of a hard surface walkway to and along the shoreline. The Harrison District Plan proposes increased flexibility in this requirement as it applies to the district's steep, unstable shoreline. Toward thi~ end, the following changes to the SMP are recommended: Allow the public access requirement to be satisfied by provision of a viewpoint connected by walkway to the Wheaton Way sidewalk in combination with payment of a fee-in-lieu of a pathway along the top of the bluff. Draft Harrison District Plan 7r25/96 Establish a dedicated Harrison Shoreline Public Acceess fund for deposit of fees in lieu of public access and view corridors, with the proceeds dedicated for purchase and development of park lands within the Harrison District shoreline area. The Harrison District Plan establishes a "Harrison District Waterfront Access "Link' Plan', within which new shoreline development will be required "to provide an upland sidewalk and/or pathway to and along the top of the blufF. Since the Shoreline Master Program already recognizes adopted waterfront access plans, it will not need to be changed to recognize the waterfront access plan for the Harrison District. View Protection The Harrison District Plan recommends "proportional relief from view corridor requirements in exchange for public access over and above the minimum requirement". The Master Program will need to be amended to provide such relief. Height The Master Program already allows structure heights per zoning limits by increasing the View Corridor width. Therefore, no SMP revisions will be needed to implement the Harrison District Plan.

This review meets the requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) for environmental analysis of the district plan itself. In addition, it seeks to provide adequate analysis of and mitigation for the specific adverse environmental impacts of proposed future projects within the Harrison District planning area. The inclusion of this analysis within the plan document qualifies the Harrison District Plan as an "integrated GMNSEPA document" under 1995 amendments to SEPA and the Growth Management Act (GMA).~ Since the adoption of the Harrison District Plan is not likely to have a significant adverse environmental impact, the plan is designated as an "integrated non-ElS document". Ifa proposed GMA action is not likely to have a significant adverse environmental impact, an integrated GMA document shall be prepared that combines the formal SEPA document (such as an environmental d~ecklistlDNS, a notice of adoption or addendum) with the GMA document.

The summary is not to be a summary of the GMA action. --WAC ¢g7- I f-235(5)(a)-(c) Summary of Proposal The Harrison District Plan is a refinement of the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan, which singles out the "Harrison Health Services District" as a specific area for further study. The Harrison District Plan is based on the comprehensive plan Vision statement: "Harrison Hospital will continue to play a major role in the provision of medical services, and its surroundin9 district will continue to grow and strengthen its role as a regional health services center". The Harrison District Plan has been developed in response to needs identified in the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan for Specific Area E-2: Harrison Health Services District. The objectives of the proposal include: To maintain and strengthen the district's role as a regional health services center by addressing land use, parking, and circulation issues. To establish a balance of land uses that will complement each other and maintain long term stability. To minimize increased traffic, bypass traffic, physical encroachmen, t, and other disruptions to surrounding stable residential neighborhoods. The major recommendations of the plan are: Create a special Health Care district - The Plan recommends special comprehensive plan and zoning designations to create a Health Care (HC) district in the vicinity of the hospital. The purpose of this district is to plan for sufficient areas for medical center Draft Harrison District Plan 8-5 7~5~6 expansion, and to protect these areas from uses that could diminish the function of the area as a regional health care center. A parking structure and helipad would be al owed ~::]~qr~ convement to the hospital. Create a special Shoreline Mixed Use district -The Plan recommends special comprehensive plan and zoning designations to create a Shoreline Mixed Use (SMU) district along the high bluff shoreline. Recommended actions and development regulations will help protect the Tracyton Beach Natural System and foster water-related development that will be compatible with a shoreline location. Improve access to the district from Wheaton Way -- The Plan recommends constructing a south-hound off-ramp from Wheaton Way to Lebo Boulevard. Iml~r~,? access from the district to Sheridan Road - The Plan recomm~n~t~ closing i~:~:.:~i~ ~i~i~:~i:~:lowe..r, Wheato~ Way at Sheddan ~ad ~ ~~ Close or reconfigure Campbell Way - The Plan recommends closing Campbell Way at Lebo Boulevard, or reconfiguring the street to improve traffic safety and increase the development potential of the surrounding property. Close Ash Street at Cherry Avenue - The Plan recommends a cul-de-sac at the south end of Ash Street to keep medical center traffic out of the residential area. Expand Sheridan Park - The Plan recommends expansion of Sheddan Park to the east if the adjacent properly can be purchased. - The Plan recommends that a view platform be constructed on the Main Street right-of-way as a part of a public access pathway along the top of the bluff, It also recommends that the feasibility of a stairway to the beach be determined. Summary of Impacts, Alternatives, Mitigation Measures, and Significant Adverse Impacts that Cannot be Mitigated The table on the following page provides a summary of environmental impacts that are anticipated from the implementation of the Harrison District Plan. [Table The anticipated impacts are based on a comparison with existing comprehensive plan and zoning designations. The impacts of these existing designations have Draft Harrison District Plan 8-6 7/25/96 already been examined in prior environmental reviews of those designations. M~I]o~' Conolusions In general, the adoption of the Harrison District Plan is expected to have mostTy positive or neutral impacts on the environment. If the plan were not adopted, the development of the district would continue to be guided by the existing Bremerton Comprehensive Plan and regulated by corresponding zoning and shoreline management requirements. The Supplementary ElS on the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan concluded that: The anticipated environmental impacts of the City's 20-year growth expectations, as presented in the Comprehensive Plan, are expected to be minimal. The Plan covers only areas a/ready within lhe City and other unincorporated areas that are designated "urban" end within City uli/ity service areas. The Harrison District Plan tailors specific plan and zoning designations for the special needs of the district. The plan proposes measures to mitigate identified potential adverse environmental impacts. Overall, the plan is expected to improve rather than detract from the elements of the environment.

Draft Harrison Distdct Plan 8 - 9 7/25/96 Significant Areas of Controversy and Uncertainty, and Issues to be Resolved The following discussion identifies significant areas of controversy and uncertainty, and issues that remain to be resolved. Environmental choices to be made and the effectiveness of mitigation measures are discussed where applicable. Helipad Near Hospital The Plan recommends moving an emergency access heliport from its temporary location next to the iunior high school to the vicinity of' the hospital. The Harrison District is already impacted by the temporary location at the nearby junior high school north of Sheridan Road. While the proposed change could increase noise impacts for some, it could decrease them for others. In addition, by locating the helipad next to the hospital, ambulance runs between the helipad and the hospital can be eliminated, thereby reducing overall noise and traffic impacts associated with emergency care. The alternative of locating the helipad at a more distant site from the hospital would impact the new area. The reality is that, to maintain a viable hospital facility in the city will require emergency helicopter access. If a satisfactory site can't be found in the city, the long term alternative for the hospital may be to relocate away from the city. The City must balance the expected impacts of the helipad with the impacts of possible loss of the hospital. ~'!i~!~;~:~ijii[i~'~!;~i[~;~i:,~:ii~i~i~i~'~'.~i Subsequent environmental review should analyze the extent to which the helipad and its flight path can be designed to minimize noise and other adverse impacts to nearby residents. Parking Structure The Plan recommends construction of a parking structure convenient to the hospital. Although three or four potential sites have been identified, the most convenient site would be at the existing joint-use parking lot next to the hospital, at the edge of the East Park Nature Area. It is possible that the parking lot site might not be large enough in its present configuration for a parking structure. If not, some expansion of the site further into the park could be required to accommodate the structure. This could eliminate plant and animal habitat that would otherwise be protected. There is no question of the need for additional parking convenient to the hospital. A1though a remote parking lot for employee parking with shuttle service to the hospital has been discussed, it does not appear to be a practical solution, given the nature of health care workers' schedules.

If the Nature Area is determined to be the best site, it should analyze the extent to which the proposed structure can avoid or minimize further intrusion into the nature area. Future Environmental Review Adoption of the Harrison District Plan will simplify environmental review that will be required for individual projects that are consistent with the 9eneral intent of the plan. Environmental review may still be required on a case-by-case basis where this analysis is too general to be meaningful. Main Environmental Options Preserved or Foreclosed by Adoption of the Harrison Disfriot Plan Adoption of the Harrison District Plan is not expected to foreclose any significant environmental options. The Plan adds additional detail to existing plans, but does not cause a major turn in direction. Significant irreversible or Irretrievable Commitments of natural resources Adoption of the Harrison District Plan is not expected to cause irretrievable commitments of natural resources that would be likely to harm long-term environmental productivity, even taking into account cumulative impacts. The Harrison District is already urbanized, and the Plan increases the City's commitment to preserve and protect its major environmental features -- Sheridan Park, the East Park Nature Area, and the Tracyton Beach Natural System.

Only sub-areas where adverse impacts are expected are discussed under each question. Matrixes are used where possible to improve readability. Draft Harrison District Plan 8- 14 7/25/96 Water Disoharges, Air Emissions, Toxio or Hazardous Substanoes, and Noise 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air, production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? Table 8-2, above, identifies proposed changes in comprehensive plan map and/or zoning map designations that could result in changes in development intensity. In general, an increase in development intensity could result in increased impacts on water, air, noise, and/or increased use of hazardous substances. Likewise, a decrease in development intensity could result in corresponding decreases in such impacts. For example, sub-areas changed from Professional Office (PO) to Health Care (HC) could increase somewhat in development intensity, but sub-areas changed from General Business (GB) to HC could decrease in intensity. In this example, the increase in development intensity would be balanced by a corresponding decrease if the areas were similar in size and other characteristics. Table 8-2 lists eight sub-areas that could increase in development intensity, and four that could decrease. It could therefore be concluded that the proposed changes could result in some overall increase in development intensity, and therefore some increased adverse environmental impacts to water or air, or from noise or hazardous substances could occur. However, in general, the proposed changes are not expected to make a significant difference in water, air, environmental health, or noise impacts compared with uses permitted under existing plan and zoning designations. Construction of an emergency access heliport near the hospital would move noise impacts from the existing temporary location next to the junior high school nearer to the hospital. This is an impact that may not be possible to mitigate significantly. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: Several improvements to the circulation system will expedite traffic flow, and thereby decrease vehicular emissions caused by traffic congestion. These include: the Wheaton Way southbound off-ramp, closure of Wheaton Way at Sheridan, ~:.i~:~i~i~iiii~iii~ii~ii~!;ii~i~i!~ ~J~!~i~i~:i; widening of Cherry between Sheridan and Callahan, and closure or reconfiguration of Campbell Way at Lebo. Draft Harrison District Plan 7/'25/96 Construction of a parking garage in the vicinity of the hospital will reduce distances traveled to locate parking, and thereby decrease vehicular emissions. Pedestrian improvements will encourage more people to walk rather than drive automobiles, and thereby decrease vehicular emissions. The steep hillside at the East Park Nature Area may help buffer noise impacts from a heliport location near the hospital so that fewer residents are affected. Plants, Anlmals, Fish or Marine Life 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish or marine life? No adverse impacts on plants, animals, fish or marine life are expected to result from the plan. Without the plan, various parcels could be developed according to existing zoning and shoreline management ~'equirements. With the plan, these same parcels can also be developed, in most cases at similar or identical development intensities. With or without the plan, the East Park Nature Area will be maintained in its natural state as a conservancy area to preserve and protect a wooded habitat and buffer area and provide urban open space. However, construction of a parking structure in the East Park joint-use parking lot could affect existing plants and animals if the parking structure site were expanded. With or without the plan, the high bluff shoreline area could be developed for commercial use. However, with the plan, certain higher intensity commercial uses could not be developed, while residential uses would be allowed anywhere along the shoreline. (Residential uses are only permitted in combination with commercial/office uses in the GB and PO zones.) Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish or marine life are: A geotechnical study of the Tracyton Beach Natural System will help preserve the integrity of the system. A marine bluff vegetation management plan will help prevent erosion and thereby preserve habitat along the bluff and the beach. Draft Hardson District Plan 7/25/96 Expansion of Sheridan Parki!ii!i~i~!~j~:!ii~i~ii~ii~'~i would preserve the existing open space and at least part of the existing plant and animal habitat in the vacant lot adjacent to the park. ~i~i;!~!i~ Under the ex st ng comprehens vep an ~.!~ th s s te could be developed for professional office use. Energy or Natural Resources 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? The depletion of energy and/or natural resources will not differ significantly, regardless of whether the existing city-wide comprehensive plan or the Harrison District Plan governs development. In either case, much of the district could be developed at similar intensities, and depletion of energy and natural resources during construction and/or ongoing use can be expected. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are." Circulation improvements, listed in section 2 above, will also result in increased fuel efficiency for vehicles using the street system. Increased areas for medium and higher density housing would allow more people to live within walking distance of shopping and services, and encourage reduced dependence on private automobiles. Pedestrian improvements will encourage people to walk rather than using their vehicles. Environmentally Sensitive or Protected Areas 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historio or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? The district includes two significant environmentally sensitive areas: the East Park Nature Area, and the shoreline bluff. There are no wild and scenic rivers, or prime farmlands in the area, and no known threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites or wetlands. The shoreline is classified as a Draft Hardson District Pran 8-17 7/'25/96 floodplain. The plan would not change the use of the East Park Nature Area, which is already designated a nature preserve. However it could result in construction of a parking structure at the existing joint-use parking lot next to the hospital, as discussed above (see section 2, above). It could also result in construction of a helipod for emergency access to the hospital. A nearby heliport could cause noise and air emission impacts to the Nature Area. The plan would allow certain higher intensity uses (lower impact commercial and high density residential) rather than other higher intensity uses (higher impact commercial) along the shoreline. In either case, the integrity of the Tracyton Beach Natural System, including the marine bluff, could be impacted. The plan will improve protection of the integrity of the Tracyton Beach Natural System, including the marine bluff, by coordinating vegetation management along the steep slopes, and by requiring development to abide by findings of a geotechnical study of the bluff. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: A parking structure could be considered at the East Park Nature Area joint use parking lot if it were "designed to be sensitive to the conservancy role of the area". A geotechnical study would be conducted of the Tracyton Beach Natural system, including high bluff areas, to determine development constraints and prescribe measures for protection of these features where necessary. A vegetation management plan would help protect the stability of the marine bluff. Land and Shoreline Use 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? The land use effects are summarized in Table 8-2 and discussed in section 1, above. In general, the proposed changes in land use plan and zoning designations would result in: 4, an increase in health care-related uses and corresponding decrease in Draft Hardson District Plan 8- 18 7~5~6 general commercial uses, such as auto-oriented uses, and Iow density residential uses; an increase in water-oriented commercial and higher density residential uses, and a corresponding decrease in general business and office uses along the shoreline; an increase in medium to high density residential uses, and a corresponding decrease in professional office and Iow density residential uses; and an increase in shoreline park area and public access to the shoreline. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: A special Shoreline Mixed Use Area would be tailored to special oppodunities and constraints of the high bluff shoreline. Development which endangers the stability of the bluff or the function of the Tracyton Beach Natural System would be discouraged or prohibited. Transportation, Publio Services and Utilities 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? A somewhat higher development intensity (discussed in section 1, above) would result in increased use of certain streets. Demands on public services and utilities could also be correspondingly increased. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: A more efficient circulation system should reduce demands on remaining streets, including residential streets, and concentrate resources on maintaining designated routes to city standards. Higher intensity development, where permitted, should increase the efficiency of public services and utilities to those areas. Dra~ Harrison District Plan 8- 19 7r25/96 Confliots with Environmental Proteotion Laws or Requirements 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. Where possible, the Harrison District Plan has been designed to decrease impacts on, and increase protections for, the environment. There are no known conflicts with local, state or federal laws or requirements for protection of the environment.
