Downtown Bremerton will have many forms of publicly accessible open space, such as parks, plazas, waterfront esplanades, and tree-lined streets. 8. Downtown Bremerton will build upon its intimate scale, street grid, and histodc buildings to create an environment having a distinctive character and quality. 9. Downtown Bremerton will accommodate parking for commuters, visitors and shoppers but in locations and configurations that allow for in-fill development. 10. Downtown Bremerton will be a business-friendly setting with support from the City, County and active downtown organizations. General Policies Page 2 of ~ 1. New development shall reinforce pedestrian activity at the street level, present an attractive profile on the skyline, and provide opportunities for artistic expression. 2. On-going programs and funding priorities should ensure that downtown streets and sidewalks are clean, safe, well lighted and attractive. 3. Parking supply, including both on-street and off-street facilities, should be managed to emphasize short-term use over long term use, ensudng an adequate supply for shoppers and visitors. 4. Parking facilities should be designed to contribute to an attractive appearance of the streetscape and overall image of the downtown. 5. The city shall ensure high quality design in both public and pdvate development through a design review process. 6. Regulations should reward new development with intensity and/or height in return for incorporating features such as public spaces, housing, and underground parking. 7. The city should employ a variety of techniques, including upgraded and expanded infrastructure (including streets and sidewalks), public/private partnerships, the development and management of parking, and property disposition to encourage desired development. 8. Downtown should be linked to surrounding neighborhoods by landscaped streets, open spaces, pedestrian and bicycle routes, and transit. 9. Development along the northern edge of downtown should step down in height and include substantial landscaping in recognition of the adjacent, Iow-scale residential neighborhood. 10. Intedm and temporary retail uses should be encouraged in order to stimulate small business activity and to attract new investment and customers to downtown. Downtown Core (DC) Policies 1. The Downtown Core should contain building s having sufficient height and intensity to create a high concentration of employment, retail, and residential. 2. This district should be served both bus and ferry transportation, with sidewalk and walkway connections that are lighted and landscaped to encourage the use of transit. 3. A variety of public spaces should be provided through this district, including landscaped plazas, squares, overlooks, pocket parks and larger civic spaces that incorporate public art. 4. Certain streets within this district should be particularly pedestrian oriented, with wider sidewalks, furnishings, and on-street parking. Streetscape enhancements, uses and architectural features should make walking safe, comfortable and appealing. 5. Fast-moving, through traffic should be separated from local traffic and pedestrian movement that are odented to the downtown core. 6. While the commercial core will have a predominance of office, local-serving retail, toudsm, entertainment and cultural uses, residential development, including live/work spaces for artists, shall also be encouraged to provide a population that brings vitality into evening hours. 7. The availability of parking should be evident without having parking structures interrupt the continuity of street level uses or overwhelm the scale of their surroundings. 8. Given the steep topography north of 4th Street, new development should include internal corridors or terraced walkways that can make the slope easier to traverse on foot. 9. Over time, there should be a landscaped, pedestrian-oriented corridor connecting the uplands portion of the Core with the waterfront. 10. Design standards should ensure the continuity of storefronts and a pedestrian-oriented scale and features along all streets within the Core. Page 3 of ~' Downtown Waterfront (DI/V) Policies 1. The Downtown Waterfront Distdct should consist of a mixture of transportation facilities, madna and support services, specialty shops and restaurants, and Iow-rise, high density residential. 2. There should be clear, attractive pedestrian routes, public places, and connections between the Downtown Waterfront distdct and the Downtown Core. 3. New development within the Downtown Waterfront district should include parking to meet its own demand. Freestanding parking to serve commuters only is not an appropriate use in this district. While some parking facilities may serve both local businesses and regional needs, commuters should generally be encouraged to use transit and park-and-ride lots. 4. Structures should be terraced down toward the water in order to maximize views and reinforce the stepped form of downtown. View corridors in alignment with east/west upland streets should be preserved. 5. The madna should be expanded and converted to both short stay and long term moorage, with public access provided to any breakwater structures. Section 4. The Central Business Distdct Sub-area Plan of the Comprehensive Plan is amended by the addition of the Illustrated Plan map attached hereto as Exhibit C. Section 5. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, dause or phrase of this ordinance is declared unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this ordinance. Section 6. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect ten (10) days after posting and publication as required by law. A summary of this Ordinance may be published in lieu of the entire Ordinance, as authorized by State law. APPROVED by the City Council of the City of Bremerton thin, day of;~.,ult~, 2001.

Five (5) of the parcels directly front on Kitsap Way and the remainder three (3) are located behind the Kitsap Way frontage properties on both sides of Weslon Place. Specifically, the proposal properties are identified with Tax Parcel No's: 162401-4-023-2004; 162401-4-024-2003, 162401-4- 025-2002; 162401-4-026-2001, 162401-4-075-2001; 162401-4-081-2003, 162401-4- 082-2002, and 162401-4-083-2001. PROPOSAL: The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map amendments. The proposed result will be to change both maps to reflect the requested land use designations of the property specified in the amendment request. Specifically: The Comprehensive Plan Map would be amended from: Low Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C-G), and; The Official Zoning Map would be amended from: Single Family Residential (SF-3) to General Business (GB). FINDINGS: 1. The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan through city and public initiated amendment applications, which will be, applied citywide as ,,veil as property specific. The Growth Management Act allows amendments to Comprehensive Plans only once a year with few exceptions. Comprehensive Plan Amendment application requests are considered non-project actions, which do not propose specific development projects. Throughout the year, applications for Comprehensive Plan Text amendments are received and collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to assess the "cumulative effects". A Public Headng process is conducted both at the Bremerton Planning Commission and the City Council levels. The Planning Commission's recommendation of approval or denial on a proposed amendment is forwarded to the City Council for its consideration. A proposal that the Council approves is enacted by ordinance. 2. The proposed amendment was part of the 1999 Amendments Docket. Dudng the City Council review of the 1999 Amendments, facts came to light which caused the applicant to change the configuration of the proposed map amendment area. This change took place in May of 2000, just pdor to the City Council's action to adopt Ordinance Nos. 4708 and 4710. The changes made in the proposal, the Planning Commission reviewed, reduced the amount of commercial area by half. 3. Following the adoption of Ordinances No. 4708 and 4710 (The Weslon Place Amendments), an appeal was filed with the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board (CPSGMHB). In eady August of 2000, it was determined that the documentation in the file for when public notice had been given was incomplete. Given that fact, a decision was made to have the City Council take action to repeal Ordinances Nos. 4708 and 4710. The City Council passed Ordinance No. 4720 on August 31, 2000 and on September 14, 2000, that ordinance became effective. The effect of Ordinance No. 4720 is to remand the Roger Nance- Kitsap Way/Weslon Place Comprehensive Plan and Rezone map amendment to the Planning Commission for reconsideration. The City's action to repeal the amendments gave cause for the CPSGMHB to deny the appeal. Consequently, the Roger Nance-Kitsap Way/Weslon Place Amendments became part of 2001 Amendments Docket. 4. A land use inventory was conducted of the area surrounding the subject property. This included the property surrounding the intersection of Weslon Place and Kitsap Way. The surrounding area consists of a mixture of residential and commercial development, with the commercial development centered along Kitsap Way and at main artedal intersections. The general trend over the past several decades has been toward commercial development along the Kitsap Way corridor in this area. 5. Element K of the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan - Implementation, Consistency and Concurrency, addresses the "Timing of Amendments as well as the "Criteria for Approval," which must be satisfied before Plan Amendments can be approved. The procedures followed for consideration of this proposed non-project amendment are those outlined in the Growth Management ACt RCW 36.70A.130. 6. A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for this project as originally configured in accordance with WAC 197-11 on January 6, 2000. Subsequent to the action described in the 1999 Comprehensive Plan Amendment DNS (of January 6, 2000), the Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning Map amendment proposal for the Nance - Kitsap Way/Weslon Place area was reduced in size by eliminating the residential properties that lie within 200 feet of the Ordinary High Water (OHW) mark of Oyster Bay. The effect of this change was to lessen the expected impacts of plan and zoning implementation. The new proposal was judged to be addressed within the scope of expected impacts to the environment evaluated in the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) analysis that led to the Determination of Non- Significance (DNS). 7. This proposal is consistent with the GMA or City planning goals, especially goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, encouraging economic development, etc. 8. This non-project proposal can be accommodated by all services, facilities and transportation: The site has been served with all services, facilities, and utilities for several decades and fronts on a major arterial. 9. The conversion of properties within the area of consideration that fronts on Kitsap Way appears appropriate. Kitsap Way is a major artedat carrying between 33,191 (at Oyster Bay Avenue) to 34,883 (at State Route 3) average daily tdps. This amount of traffic is considered of a sufficient level to create commercial development opportunities. Such a conversion would bddge a current "gap" of commercially planned land uses that currently exists along Kitsap Way and the change would represent a logical extension of commercial uses along the corridor. Some vacancies in the available commercial land that have been consumed in the subsequent years. The development progression in the intervening years since 1995 indicates there is a need for more commercial development in this area of the City. 10. The proposed Nance - Kitsap Way/VVeslon Place Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning Map amendment would establish a land use pattern that is an extension of the existing plan and commercial zoning that abuts the site on the east. On the west, the proposed zoning is in near proximity to the General Business (GB) zoning found about 20 feet away. The proposal meets the test of being a part of a larger zoning district, CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change the map from Low Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C-G) satisfies all five of the "Approval Criteria" for comprehensive plan amendments. 2. This requested rezone from: Single Family Residential (SF-3) to General Business (GB) satisfies all five applicable rezone criteda of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in Chapter 21.02,920. 3. The location is particularly suitable because it is on a public transit line, has direct access to a major artedal street, and has all necessary utilities available to support higher intensity development. 4. The proposal will help implement the goals and policies of the Comp. Plan: Encouraging new economic development, finding new sites for commercial development, and attracting new businesses to the City are local policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. This proposal is consistent with those polices and objectives. 5. The proposed rezone is in the public interest and will not be materially detrimental to surrounding neighborhood. 6. The proposed rezone satisfied the consistency rule in the GMA. Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001. Attest: Ar~d~o~u~ko Chris Hugo Chair / Secretary BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS PL00-0063: TRANSERV: Sylvan Way & Almira Drive Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application PROPERTY & LOCATION: This proposal affects one (1) flag shaped parcel of land, containing approximately One and eight tenths (1.8) acres, and located north of and adjacent to the TRANSERV Building fronting Sylvan Way. The subject parcel is currently developed as an accessory parking area to the TRANSERV Building and is accessed from the east off of Almira Drve. Specifically, the proposal property is identified with Tax Parcel No: 3992-001-003-0108. PROPOSAL: The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map amendments. The proposed result will be to change both maps to reflect the requested land use designations of the property specified in the amendment request. Specifically: The Comprehensive Plan map would be amended from: Medium Density Residential (MDR) to General & Professional Office (C-P), and; The Official Zoning Map would be amended from: Residential Medium-Density (MF) to Professional Office (PO). FINDINGS: 1. The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan through city and public initiated amendment applications, which will be, applied citywide as well as property specific. The Growth Management Act allows amendments to Comprehensive Plans only once a year with few exceptions. Comprehensive Plan Amendment application requests are considered non-project actions, which do not propose specific development projects. Throughout the year, applications for Comprehensive Plan Text amendments are received and collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to assess the ='cumulative effects". A Public Hearing process is conducted both at the Bremerton Planning Commission and the City Council levels. The Planning Commission's recommendation of approval or denial on a proposed amendment is forwarded to the City Council for its consideration. A proposal that the Council approves is enacted by ordinance. 2. A land use inventory was conducted of the area surrounding the subject property. The surrounding land uses on the north, east and west include the Viewcrest Apartment Homes development. The TRANSERV office building is located adjacent to the south and a Post Office and Library are immediately across Sylvan Way to the south. A utility sub-station exists adjacent to the southwest corner of the site 3. There are no specific application for use and development of this non-project proposal. There are no step slopes to be found on the property. Whereas there is residential development along a portion of the north, west, and south property lines, perimeter buffers can be set aside at the time of future development, which will mitigate the off-site impacts of commercial development. This is especially true since there is substantial mature tree cover on the site. There is no specific application for use and development of the property at this time. Further development of approved property specific amendments and rezones that are not categorically exempt pursuant to WAC Chapter 197-11-800, which will require issuance of a City license or permit, will be subject to future review under SEPA. 4. This proposal can be accommodated by all services, facilities and transportation. The site has been served with expandable services, facilities, and utilities for several decades and fronts on a major arterial. 5. VVheaton Way is a major arterial and Sylvan Way carries substantial "Collector" average daily trips. This amount of traffic is considered to be of a sufficient level for non-residential development opportunities. 6. This proposal to amend the Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning Map amendment would extend an adjacent land use pattern, which is an extension of the existing plan and Professional Office zoning that abuts the site on the south side of Sylvan Way. The proposal meets the test of being a part of a larger zoning district. CONCLUSIONS: 1. With the presence of commercial zoning on the south of the site, and the site's proximity to the commercial corridor of Sylvan Way and Wheaton Way, it is appropriate to address these areas within the one-half mile wide corridor centered on Wheaton Way in greater land use detail than when the City adopted it's Comprehensive Plan in 1995. The development progression in the intervening years since 1995 indicates that a pattern of mixed use has sporadically developed and amendments that support the recommendations of the Wheaton Way Plan should be favorably considered. 2. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change the map from: Medium Density Residential (MDR) to General & Professional Office (C- P) satisfies the "Approval Criteria" for Comprehensive Plan amendments. 3. This requested rezone to change the Official Map from Residential Medium- Density (MF) to Professional Office (PO) appears to satisfy the five applicable rezone criteria of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in Chapter 21.02.920. 4. The location may be particularly suitable for higher intensity development other than residential use as it is essentially isolated from other Iow to medium density residential land; is located on a collector transportation corridor, and is immediately adjacent to an existing professional office structure. The parcel is of sufficient size to be developed for a commercial office structure with adequate buffering opportunities on the peripheral, residential development. 5. The proposal is consistent with and will help implement the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan by encouraging new economic development, finding new site for non-residential development, and attracting new businesses to the City. 6. The proposed rezone satisfies the consistency rule in the GMA. Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001. Attest: ~daiY/Kos; ko Chris Hugo Secretary BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS PL00-0065: Hancock: North of Werner Road Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application PROPERTY & LOCATION: The seven subject parcels of the Hancock-American Redicorp Plan Amendment and Rezone Application, containing approximately 45 acres, are located generally north of Werner Road, west of Broad Street, southeast of Price road, and south of Kitsap Lake and Harlow Drive. Specifically, the proposal properties are identified with Tax Parcel No's: 202401-1-001-2000, 212401-2-040-2000, 202401-1- 013-2000, 202401-1-014-2000, 202401-1-021-2006, 202401-1-003-2000, 202401-1- 002-2009. PROPOSAL: The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map amendments. The proposed result will be to change both maps to redesignate the properties specified in the amendment requests from Iow to medium density residential to industrial designations. Specifically: The Comprehensive Plan Map would be amended from: Low Density Residential (LDR) to Industrial Park (IP), and, The Official Zoning Map would be amended from: Res. Low Density (SF-1, SF-3), & Res. Med. Density (MF) to Industrial Park (IP). FINDINGS: 1.

This proposal can be accommodated by all services, facilities and transportation. The site has been served with expandable services, facilities, and utilities for several decades and fronts on a major arterial. 4. The 1995 Comprehensive Plan identifies the Wemer Road Industrial Corddor as an excellent location for industrial expansion, as mentioned in the WEST BREMERTON PLAN section of the Plan, with more specific land use and improvement plans. 5. An assessment of the Werner Road Industrial Corridor indicates that it can accommodate additional industrial uses. 6. The residential parcels surrounding the proposal are largely underdeveloped and lend themselves to conversion to industrial park uses. 7. The proposed Industrial Park land use plan designation encourages technology and other high quality industrial uses that pose minimal environmental impacts on the surrounding urban CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change the map from: Low Density Residential (LDR) to Industrial Park (IP) appears to satisfy the "Approval Criteria" for Comprehensive Plan amendments. 2. This requested rezone to change the Official Map from: Res. Low Density (SF-1, SF-3), & Res. Med. Density (MF) to Industrial Park (IP) appears to satisfy the five applicable rezone criteria of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in Chapter 21.02.920. 3. The proposal is consistent with and will help implement the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan by: Encouraging new economic development, finding new sites for commercial and industrial development, and attracting new businesses to the City. 4. The location may be particularly suitable for higher intensity development other than residential use as it is essentially isolated from other Iow to medium density residential land. As the large parcels are underdeveloped, somewhat remote, wooded with variable terrain, and, limited infrastructure for residential development, it is more suitable for industrial development, as industrially developable land requires large underdeveloped parcels to be economically viable for development. 5. This proposal is consistent with the GMA or City planning goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, encouraging economic development, etc. 6. The proposed rezone satisfies the consistency rule in the GMA. Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001. Attest: Secretary I BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS PL00-0073: WESLAR: Sixth Street/Broadway-west of Warren Avenue. Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application PROPERTY & LOCATION: This proposal affects four (4) parcels of land, aggregating approximately one-quarter (1/4) acre, and are located generally north of 6th Avenue, west of Broadway Street, and east of Chester Avenue. The parcels are more specifically described as Lots 1 - 4, Block 6 of the Dietz Addition and addressed as 1102, 1104, 1106, and 1108 6th Street, Bremerton, respectively. Specifically, the proposal properties are identified with Tax Parcel No's: 3743-006-001-0002, 3743-006- 002-0209, and 3743-006-004-0009. PROPOSAL: The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map amendments. The proposed result will be to change both maps to re-designate the property specified in the amendment 'request. Specifically: The Comprehensive Plan Map would be amended from: Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Central Business District (CBD), and; The Official Zoning Map would be amended from: Professional Office (PO) to Business Core (BC). FINDINGS: 1. The City of 0remerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan through city and public initiated amendment applications, which will be, applied citywide as well as property specific. The Growth Management Act allows amendments to Comprehensive Plans only once a year with few exceptions. Comprehensive Plan Amendment application requests are considered non-project actions, which do not propose specific development projects. Throughout the year, applications for Comprehensive Plan Text amendments are received and collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to assess the "cumulative effects". A Public Hearing process is conducted both at the Bremerton Planning Commission and the City Council levels. The Planning Commission's recommendation of approval or denial on a proposed amendment is for'warded to the City Council for its consideration. A proposal that the Council approves is enacted by ordinance. 2. The area surrounding the subject application property is an underdeveloped variety of land uses with, older single-family residential units on small lots and commercial business mixed in. Some of the uses and many of the properties do not conform with current zoning regulations. 3. This proposal does not conflict with any of the GMA or City planning goals and is especially consistent with goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, with possible infill of underdeveloped parcels which has the potential to reduce urbanizing pressures in other zone classifications, and being situated amongst a developing neighborhood evolving to a higher intensity of land use can encourage economic development. 4. There are no sensitive land use issues identified with this site. Potential slopes exist behind the sidewalk fronting 6th Street and slope away and down to the alley to the north. Any future development proposal for this site will impact one (1) older residential structure situated on four lots. 5. Future development of this non-project proposal can be accommodated by all services, facilities and transportation. 6. The Comprehensive Plan policies favor growth in urban areas to encourage economic development, finding new sites for commercial development to attract new business. 7, Policy (h) of the CBD Plan encourages the promotion of land uses and development patterns predicated upon the continuing study and refinement of the "Urban Diagram" that will reflect the best interest of the community. The proposal area is located immediately west of the area indicated on the Urban Diagram as "Sixth-Street Auto Oriented" and is an appropriate extension of this district. The proposal is influenced by higher-density land- use transitional areas to the east. 8. City water and sewer infrastructure required to support higher density development of this property exists within the proposal area. 9. The proposed Zoning Map amendment would continue to establish a land use pattern which is an extension of the adjacent and larger BC zoning district depicted on the existing zoning map. The change of zoning classification for this proposal does not form a new district nor will it become an isolated "spot zone". The proposal meets the test of being a part of a larger zoning district. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Ongoing higher intensity use land development in and around the Business Core area is in the best public interest. 2. The Business Core area can accommodate additional higher density commercial and residential uses, as well as expand to bring those "fringe" areas influenced by the district development under the broader "business core umbrella" of relaxed standards and more flexibility in the zone classification standards. 3. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment requested to change the map from: Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Central Business Distdct (CBD) satisfies the "Approval Criteria" for Comprehensive Plan amendments. This proposal is consistent with the GMA or City planning goals, especially with goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, and with in-fill of underdeveloped parcels. 4. This requested rezone to change the Official Map from: Professional Office (PO) to Business Core (BC) satisfies the five applicable rezone criteria of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in'Chapter 21.02.920. 5. The location is particularly suitable for higher intensity development, and land use development such as that found in other areas of the CBD, as it is located adjacent to the CBD and in an auto-oriented, commercially developing area. 6.

Attest: Andy k:o~o; Chair Chr~ Hugo, S~(~ret~ry BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS PL00-0077: Mentor: Warren Avenue/Clare Avenue Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map Amendment Application PROPERTY & LOCATION: The proposal affects a single parcel of land containing approximately 9,100 square feet and is located at 2755 Clare Avenue; situated within the inside curve of the Clare Avenue off-ramp from Warren Avenue immediately northeast of the Warren Avenue Bddge. Specifically, the proposal property is identified as Lot 1, Block 2, Second Addition to Sheridan Park. Tax Parcel No: 3966-002-001- 0001. PROPOSAL: The applicant's request is for concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map and Official Zoning Map amendments. The proposed result will be to change both maps to re-designate the property specified in the amendment requests. Specifically: The Comprehensive Plan Map would be amended from: Medium-Density Residential (MDR) to General & Professional Offices (C-P), and the Official Zoning Map would be amended from: Residential Medium-Density (MF) to Health Care (HC). FINDINGS: 1. The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan through city and public initiated amendment applications, which will be, applied citywide as well as property specific. The Growth Management Act allows amendments to Comprehensive Plans only once a year with few exceptions. Comprehensive Plan Amendment application requests are considered non-project actions, which do not propose specific development projects. Throughout the year, applications for Comprehensive Plan Text amendments are received and collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to assess the "cumulative effects". A Public Hearing process is conducted both at the Bremerton Planning Commission and the City Council levels. The Planning Commission's recommendation of approval or denial on a proposed amendment is forwarded to the City Council for its consideration. A proposal that the Council approves is enacted by ordinance. 2. There are no significant adverse environmental affects. There are no wetlands to be found on the property. Significant slopes occur on the southern portion of the parcel. The parcel is located on the inside curve of the Clare Avenue exit ramp from the Northeast end of the Warren Avenue Bridge. The parcel is currently undeveloped, with the exception of the eastern property line. 3. This proposal can be accommodated by all services, facilities and transportation. 4. This proposal is consistent with the GMA or City planning goals and is consistent with goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, encouraging economic development, finding new sites for associated neighborhood commercial development, and attracting new businesses to the City. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change the map from Low Density Residential (LDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C- G) satisfies the "Approval Criteda' for Comprehensive Plan amendments. 2. This requested rezone to change the Official Map from: Residential Medium- Density (MF) to Health Care (HC) satisfies the five applicable rezone criteria of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in Chapter 21.02.920. 3. The location is suitable for development other than medium density residential use, as it is isolated from other Iow to medium density residential land. 4. The proposal is consistent with the GMA and City planning goals and is consistent with goals dealing with urban growth, reducing sprawl, encouraging economic development, finding new sites for associated neighborhood commercial development, and attracting new businesses to the City. 5. The proposed rezone satisfies the consistency rule in the GMA. Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001.
