FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Wes. t Kitsap Lake Annexation Area
Application of City Zoning
FINDINGS:
APPLICANT: Dept. of Community Development
City of Bremerton
LOCATION: A 109.6 acre area along the west and north sides
of Kitsap Lake, known as the Kitsap Lake
Annexation Area.
DESCRIPTION: The subject area was annexed to the City of
Bremerton in early 1991 and can be described as a
rural-residential neighborhood of approximately
100 single-family homes and a population of 195.
Lot sizes range from about 4,000 sq. ft. to more
than two acres. There are 102 lots in the area.
The area is served by West Kitsap Lake Road which
parallels the western edge of Kitsap Lake, and by
North Lake Way which forms the northern boundary
of the annexation area.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION:
The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan designation for
this area is "RESIDENTIAL, 0-7 DU/Ac."
Existing development is consistent with the
designation and the overall density is just under
one DU/Ac.
EXISTING ZONING:
Prior to annexation, this area was under the
jurisdiction of Kitsap County and zoned "R-5" and
"R-SMH". Both are residential zones that allow a
density of 5 dwelling units per acre. The latter
also permits "mobile homes".
CITY ZONIN~ FQLLOWING ANNEXATION-
TO expedite the annexation, provisional zoning of
"Single-family (SF-2)" was applied to the
annexation area because it was the City zoning
district most similar to the County's "R-5"
zoning. Provisional zoning is considered to be
91 06100042 Findings - 1
temporary and requires Planning Commission review
within sixty days of the annexation.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW:
On"March 19, 1991, the Bremerton Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing to consider
the zoning of the West Kitsap Lake Annexation Area
and to formulate a recommendation to the City
Council. The Commission found the "SF-2" zoning
to be most consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan and with existing development
in the neighborhood.
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS:
Very few concerns were raised about the City's
zoning of this area. However, there are some
differences between the City and County zoning
ordinances that will affect some property owners
who have indicated long-term plans to eventually
build duplexes or to place single-wide mobile
homes on their properties. These will not be
permitted under the City's SF-2 zoning.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The low-density residential character of the West
Kitsap Lake neighborhood is consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan and with previous County zoning.
2. The City's "Single-family (SF-2)" zoning, which was
applied as "provisional zoning" upon annexation of this
area, is most similar to the previous County zoning,
and is also most consistent with the City's Plan and
with the existing development of this neighborhood.
3. Under SF-2 zoning, seven of the 102 lots in this area
will be smaller than 9,600 sq. ft. in size and will be
considered nonconformities. However, the City allows
such lots to be developed, provided they meet all other
minimum development requirements. Thus, SF-2 zoning
will not pr.event development of existing legal lots.
Based on the above findings and conclusions, the Bremerton
City Council has approved the application of the "Single-
family (SF-2)" zoning district to the area known as the West
Kitsap Lake Annexation Area, as described herein.
