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 tend 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 ,¢rom: Single Family Residential (SF-3) to General Business (GB). FINDINGS: I. The City of 8remerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive P!an through city and public initiated amendment applications, ,,vnic,"~ will be, applied citywide as 'Nell as property specific. The GrowTh Management Act allows amendments to Comprehensive P!ans only once a year with few exceptions. Comprehensive Plan ,Amendment application requests are considered non-project actions, '~4'~ich do not propose specific development projects. 'Fnroughout the year, applications for Comprehensive P!an Text amendments are received and collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to assess the ~'cumutative effects". A Public Headng process is conducted both at the @remerton Planning Commission and the City Council levels. The P!anning 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 'NaS part of ~e !999 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 prior 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 tl~e 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/¥Veslon P!ace Comprei~ensive P!an 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 WayNVeslon P!ace ,Amendments became part of 2001 Amendments Docket. 4. A !and use inventory was conducted of [he area surrounding the subject property. This included the property surrounding the intersection of Weslon P!ace and Kitsap "Nay. The surrounding area consists of a mixture of residential and commercial development, with the commercial development centered along Kitsap Way and at main artenal intersections. The general trend over the past several decades has been toward commercial development along the Kitsap Way comdor in this area. 5. Element K of the 8remertcn Comprehensive Ptan - Implementation. Consistency and Concurrency, addresses the "Timing of Amendments as well as the "Criteria for Approval." which must be satisfied before P!an Amendments can be approved. The procedures followed for consideration of this proposed non-project amendment are .',hose outlined in the Gcovvth Management Act RCW 36.70A. 130. 6. A Determination of Non-Significance was issued for ,:his project as originally configured in accordance with WAC !97-11 on January 6, 2000. Subsequent to the action desc,'ibed ;,n ,the 1999 Comprehensive Plan Amendment DNS (of January 6, 2000) ',he Comprehensive ~!an and Cfficial Zoning Map amendment proposal for the Nance - Kitsap ',/Vay/Wesion =!ace area was reduced in size by eliminating the residentiai .~roperties .that ',ie within 2C0 feet of ;he Crdinar¥ ',-tign Water (OHW) mark of Oyster 3ay. 7'he effect, of this ,:,hange was to ;essen ~.he expected impacts of plan and zoning impiementa[ion. The ,~ew orooosai was judged to be addressed within .:he scope of expect, ed ;,mpacts :o the environment evaluated in :he State Environmental Policy Act, (SEP.~.) analysis .*.hat ',ed :o :he Determination of Non- Significance .. DNS). 7. This prcposal is consistent '.Nith ?Jhe GMA or City ~lanning goals, especially goals dealing with urban growth, ,-educing sprawl, encouraging economic development, etc. 8. This non-project proi2osat ~n ~e accommodated by all sec'vices, facilities and transportation: The site iqas h, een senn/ed with all senn/ices, 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 apprcprfate. Kitsap Way is a major arterial carrying between 33,191 (at Oyster Bay Avenue) to 34,883 (at State Route 3) average daily trips. This amount of traffic is considered of a sufficient level to create commercial development opport, unities. Such a conversion would bndge 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 - KJtsap Way/VVeslon Place Comprehensive Plan and Official Zoning Map amendment would establist~ 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: The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change the map from Low Censity Resictential iLDR) to General & Highway Commercial (C-G) satisfies all five of the %pproval Cntena" for compret~ensive plan amendments. 2. This requested rezone from: Singte Family Residential {SF-3) to General Business {GB) satisfies all five applicable rezone cntena of the Bremerton Zoning Ordinance as specified in Chapter 21.02.920. 3. The location is part culady suitable because it is on a public transit line, has direct access to a maior artenat street, and has all necessary utilities available to support nigher intensity development. The proposal will hetp 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 oojectJves of the Compret~ensive Plan. This proposal is consistent W~th those polices and ob~ctives. 5. The proposed rezone is ;n ,'he ,2ublic interest and will ~ot be materially detrimental .',o surrounding neiglqDort~ood. 6. The proposed rezone satisfied the consistency rule in the GMA. Approved ~y the Bremerton P!anning Commission on July 31, 2001. Attest: 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 AImira 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 he 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: !. The City of Bremerton annually proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan through city and public initiated amendment applications, which will be, apolied city,vide as ,,veil as ,~roperty specific. The Growth Management ACt allows amendments to Compreh, ensive P!ans only once a year with few 9xcepticns. Comprehensive Plan Amendment application requests are considered r~on-project actions, which do ¢,ct pro[~ose specific development ,orojects. Throug~ou[ the year, apulications for Comprehensive P!an 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 !eveis. The Planning Commission's recommendation of acproval or denial on a proposed amendment is forwarded to the City Council for its consideration. A proposal that the Councit approves is enacted by ordinance. 2. A !and 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 19%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. Wheaton 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 cf 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: !. With the presence ,of commercial zoning on (he south of the site, and the s~te's proximity to ~he commercial corridor of Sylvan Way and Wheaton Way, it is ap0ropriate 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 CornprehenS/ve 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 ,oroposed 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. 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 ~le in the GMA. Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001. Attest: Ar~dy/K~sCko Chris Hugo Chair ¢, Secretary BREUERTON PI_~NNING COMMISSION FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS PL00-0065: Hancock: North of Wemer 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 ~tsap 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 ~e 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 ,liP).

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 Corridor 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. 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: The ;roposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment request to change the map ..-'rom: Low Density Residential (LDR) to Industrial Park (IP) appears to satisfy the "Approval Criteria" fcr Comprehensive Plan amendments. 2. This requested rezone to change ~he Official Map from: Res. Low Density (SF-1, SF-3), & Res. Med.

The ,oroposal 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: Andy'Kos/ko C h~i~"H u g'~ Chair Secretary 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 6~n 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, 1!04, 1!06, 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 Distnct (CBD), and; The Official Zoning Map would be amended from: Professional Office (PO) :o Business Core {BC). FINDINGS: !. The City of Bremerton annuaily proposes to amend its Comprehensive Plan through city and put~iic initiated amendment applications, which will be, applied citywide as well as .~rooerty specific. The Growth Management Act allows amendments to Comprehensive P!ans only once a year with few exceptions. Comprehensive P!an Amendment application requests are considered non-projec'~ actions, whic,~ do not propose specific development projects. Throughout ',.he ,/ear a~0iications for Comprehensive Plan Text amendments are received an~ collectively placed on a docket for processing in order to assess the "cumulative ~ffects". A PuClic Hearing process is conducted both at the Bremertcn P!anning Commission and the City Council levets. The P!anning Commission's recommendation of approval or denial on a proposed amendment is forwarded to the C;ty 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 tots 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 servicas, 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 P!an encourages the promotion of land uses and develcpment patterns predicated upon the continuing study and refinement cf 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. C:,ty water and sewer infrastructure required to support higher density deveio~ment of this property exists within the oroposat area. 9. The ,proposed Zcning 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: I. Ongoing higher intensity use iand development Jn and around the Business Core area is in the 12est 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 criteda 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. The proposed rezone satisfies the consistency rule in the GMA. Approved by the Bremerton Planning Commission on July 31, 2001. Attest: Andy ~o~sko, Chair Chr~ HUgo, S~ret~r,!

The Growth Management Act encourages the efficient use of land for urban development. 2. The Central Business District for the City of BremertOn has been designated in the City Comprehensive Plan and within the Bremerton Municipal Code. 3. The Comprehensive P!an discussion of the Central Business districts on pages 56-58 includes the City's adopted Vision as required by the GroWth Management Act. 4. The city's vision for the C~D includes that it will "continue to the heart of the Bremerton" and i2ecome a "more of a people place" and offer culture and entertainment, retail, and other services. 5. P!an policies on page 57 indicate eight directives as to implementation of the vision including: (g) Revise plans, regulations, and the permitting process, as necessary, to allow and encourage the intended types of uses and get them apcrovecl as expeditiously as poss ble" And (h) promote land uses and deveiopment patterns consistent with (an) (the following} Urban Diagram and continue to study and refine the diagram to reflect the best interests of the community.

The City of 8remerton Comprehensive P!an Policy Amendment Application PL01-0024. proposes to amend the 1995 Compret~ensive Plan Land Use Policy statements by including more specific Goals and polices for the Central Business district (CBD) and adding two new sub-districts which permits uses for the Downtown Core (DC) and Waterfront (WF) which are consistent with the Urban Diagram and prohibits those not listed such as surface parking tots. 8. The Proposed Downtown core (DC) and Waterfront (WF) Policies are to be implemented with the proposed simplified Code amendment that identifies permitted Floor Area Ratios provided certain performance standards and public amenities are provided. 9. Environmental impact checklist identified no significant impact upon the environment, and the Director of Building and Planning has made a Determination of Non-significance as provided by WAC 197-11, dated July 14, 2001. and published on July 17, 2001. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of the GrOwth Management Act and will not result in Plan or regulation conflicts. 2. The proposal will change the development and use potential of areas within the Central Business District (CBD). The Environmental Impact Checklist accomplished for the proposed Goals, Polices and Code revisions did not identify significant adverse impacts on existing sensitive land uses, businesses, or residents. 3. The proposal will help implement the goals and policies of the Bremerton Corncrehensive Plan. 4. The ;~roposed Downtown Bremerton goals, policies and code revisions have been coordinated with Kitsap County for review and comment.
