AN ORDINANCE of the Bremerton City Council to amend the text and applicable tables of Bremerton
Municipal Code Title 21, Land Use, Chapter 21.02, Zoning Code, revising front, side and rear yard set back
requirements in the Parks and Schools (PS) zone classification.
The City Council of Bremerton makes the following findings:
WHEREAS, This application consists of a proposal to amend the applicable text and Figures of Bremerton
Municipal Code Title 21, Land Use, Chapter 21.02, Zoning Code, to revise front, side and rear yard set back
requirements in the Parks and Schools (PS) zone classification to reflect the setback requirements of the adjacent
zones; and
WHEREAS, The proposed Zoning Code Text amendment to reduce setback standards involves all areas
within the City currently designated with Parks and Schools (PS) zoning classification; and
WHEREAS, The parcels and areas located throughout the City designated with the Parks & Schools (PS)
zone classification are located essentially adjacent to all other zone classifications available in the development
standards and regulations. Consequently, the City's Parks and Schools are located practically adjacent to all
conceivable land uses from Iow-density residential to high intensity industrial and commercial land uses; and
WHEREAS, The procedures to be followed for Zoning Ordinance text amendment or changes are those
found in Section 21.02.925 "DEVELOPMENT REGULATION AMENDMENT" of the Bremerton Municipal Code
(BMC). The authority is given to the City Council to approve by passage of an ordinance, a change to the text or
Figure of any City of Bremerton development regulation including the Zoning Ordinance. This is a Type IV legislative
decision and is exempt from the processing, timing, and other requirements for quasi-judicial permits; and
WHEREAS, Bremerton Municipal Code, Section 21.02.925(d) Cdteria for Approval: directs that the City
Council may approve a development regulation amendment if certain procedural requirements and regulatory cdteria
for approval can be found to be adequately met; and
WHEREAS; The Capital Facilities Plan element of the 1995 Comprehensive Plan reflects that "It is the
intent of the City of Bremerton to provide public facilities and services that are equitably distributed throughput the
community; that are located and designed to be safe and convenient to the people they serve; that provide flexibility
of use and maximum efficiency; and that are compatible with adjacent uses and the environment. Education Goals
of the 1995 Comprehensive Plan speak to the importance of schools in the community and to allow for the
reasonable and planned expansion of those facilities to meet the growing education demands'; and
WHEREAS, In efforts to increase densities and reduce urban sprawl and utilize available lands in more
efficient and effective manner, more effective development standards for setbacks for the Parks and Schools (PS)
zone classification are proposed; and
WHEREAS; the Bremerton Planning Commission, following a public hearing on June 19, 2001, determined
that this request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and with the City's Development Regulation Amendment
criteria, contained in BMC 21.02.925, and has submitted its Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in support of its
recommendation to approve this Development Regulation Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the Bremerton City Council conducted a public hearing on July 18, 2001 to accept public
comments pertaining to the proposed Development Regulation Amendment to consider the Planning Commission's
recommendation; now therefore:
THE CITY OF BREMERTON DOES ORDAIN THE FOLLOWING

The City Council of Bremerton makes the following findings:-
WHEREAS, This application consists of a proposal to amend the

Land Use, Chapter 21.02/ Zoning Code, to revise front, side and
rear yard set back requirements in the Parks and Schools (PS)
zone classification to reflect the setback requirements of the
adjacent zones; and-
WHEREAS, The proposed Zoning Code Text amendment to reduce
setback standards involves all areas within the City currently
designated with Parks and Schools (PS) zoning classification;
and-
WHEREAS, The parcels and areas located throughout the City
designated with the Parks & Schools (PS) zone classification are
located essentially adjacent to all other zone classifications
available in the development standards and regulations.
Consequently, the City's Parks and Schools are located'
practically adjacent to all conceivable land uses from low-
density residential to high intensity industrial and commercial
land uses; and-
WHEREAS, The procedures to be followed for Zoning Ordinance text
amendment or changes are those found in Section 21.02.925
"DEVELOPMENT REGULATION AMENDMENT" of the Bremerton Municipal
Code (BMC). The authority is given to the City Council to approve
by passage of an ordinance, a change to the text or Figure of any
City of Bremerton development regulation including the Zoning
Ordinance. This is a Type IV legislative decision and is exempt
from the processing, timing, and other requirements for quasi-
judicial permits; and-
WHEREAS, Bremerton Municipal Code, Section 21.02.925(d) Criteria
for Approval: directs that the City Council may approve a
development regulation amendment if certain procedural
requirements and regulatory criteria for approval can be found to
be adequately met; and-
WHEREAS; The Capital Facilities Plan element of the 1995
Comprehensive plan reflects that "It is the intent of the City of
Bremerton to provide public facilities and services that are
equitably distributed throughput the community; that are located
and designed to be safe and convenient to the people they serve;
that provide flexibility of use and maximum efficiency; and that
are compatible with adjacent uses and the environment. Education
Goals of the 1995 Comprehensive Plan speak to the importance of
schools in the community and to allow for the reasonable and
planned expansion of those facilities to meet the growing
education demands"; and-
WHEREAS, In efforts to increase densities and reduce urban sprawl
and utilize available lands in more efficient and effective
manner, more effective development standards for setbacks for the
Parks and Schools (PS) zone classification are proposed; and-
WHEREAS; the Bremerton Planning Commission, following a public
hearing on June 19, 2001, determined that this request is
consistent with the Comprehensive plan and with the City's
Development Regulation Amendment criteria, contained in BMC
21.02.925, and has submitted its Findings of Fact and Conclusions
