PUBLIC HEARING
David St. Pierre, Assistant City Attorney, briefed the City Council on the process that was to take
place for this portion of the meeting, which would be a "Public Hearing" to receive public testimony on
Implementing Comprehensive Plan Amendments and Zoning Amendments only. The "Public
Hearing" portion of the meeting would then be closed, and City Council will consider the two
ordinances. It was also clarified that because of the procedural requirement in the "City Council
Rules & Procedures" adopted in 1996 that require ordinances to be heard at "regular" Council
meetings, a motion would be proposed to waive this requirement for these proceedings since this
special meeting was properly noticed.
ITEM I - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) ADOPTING PORT BLAKELY SUB-AREA PLAN;
THREE-PARTY AGREEMENT: AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS, #AB00-202: Lee
wyatt, Planning Department, summarized that the City of Bremerton, Kitsap County, and Port
Blakely Communities (land owner & developer) have cooperatively prepared a Sub-Area Plan for a
large parcel of land (approximately 440 acres) located west of Kitsap Lake and outside the City limits
for future annexation to the City. Currently, the City's 1995 Comprehensive Plan does' not provide the
mechanism to process the proposed annexation. Consequently, the City must amend its
Comprehensive Plan to facilitate implementation of the provisions contained in the Sub-Area Plan and
the Three-Party Agreement, which will enable the proposed application for annexation to be
submitted. The objective of the Port Blakely Joint Planning Area Sub-Area Plan is to facilitate,
encourage, and support proposed mixed use development which will further the goal of regional
economic growth. The proposed amendments have been duly noticed, and the Bremerton Planning
Commission has conducted a public hearing process on the proposed amendments to the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan and unanimously recommended that the ordinance be adopted.
John Adams, Port Blakely Properties, indicated that this step would set up the flamework for
establishing standards, which would include a more detailed review of the zoning portion of the
project plan.
#0285 M/S/C/U (Rollman/Law) Move to waive the provision of Rule 8 of the Bremerton "City Council
Rules & Procedures" requiring the first readings of the proposed ordinances adopting the Port Blakely
Sub-Area Plan and implementing the Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Amendments to be conducted
at a regular meeting of the City Council.

ITEM 2 ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) ADOPTING MIXED USE DISTRICT (MXD) ZONING
CLASSIFICATION, #AB00-203: Lee Wyatt, of the Planning Department, stated that the creation of
the new mixed use district zoning classification was a response to observations of recent market
trends and market analyses that have demonstrated and promoted economic development
elsewhere, and was developed in order to implement the provisions of the Sub-Area Plan. The
cooperation of the parties involved indicates that there is support from all sides for this project and the
City would benefit from such a zoning classification addition. He also clarified that this zoning
classification could be utilized anywhere in the City, it was not created just for Port Blakely. The
proposed amendments to the Zoning Code have been duly noticed and subjected to the test of public
scrutiny through the public hearing process as conducted by the Bremerton Planning Commission.
