service, and Clare Ave. and Hemlock St. would most likely accommodate any addition-
al traffic generated from a B-2 use at ~e subject site. The Planning Commission

of the requested rezone. She discussed applicable development standards of SEPA,
Zoning Ord., Bremerton Area Plan, Naval/Central Neighborhood Plan and Preliminary
Zoning Map 9-C. Ms Saari discussed Planning Commission conclusions that the-p~o-
posed rezone would be consistent with Bremerton Area Piano,policies and with adjacent
businesses in the area. The Planning Commission concluded it would appear this
rezone would not set a precedence for commercial expansion into the residential area
to the west, and design of traffic circulation would most likely discourage further
high volume traffic to the west. The proposed rezone would provide more intense use
of the subject property while being compatible with the adjacent property to the east.
The existing infrastructure and~utilities which serve the subject site are capable
of supporting urban levels of service. Ms Saari concluded that the Planning
Commission recommends approval of the rezone from R-1 to B-2.

tinues west past the site and then dead ends. Ms. Saari discussed minimum screen-
ing requirements of 36 inches and maximum requirement of 6 feet. Mr. Drouin in-
dicated area residents have no objections to the rezone as long as the screening
requirements are observed.
