Nearest Bus Routes: %11 Kitsap Bus Schedule 423 Kariotis - Tracyton 425 Eastpark #50 Sunday East Loop 18. Nearest Bike Routes: There is no direct bike route that passes the site. The only route that comes close to the site runs along Warren/Wheaton Way to Sheridan. From there the route goes Northwest along Sheridan, Dibb, and Phillips to Sylvan Way. A rider passes within roughly 2 blocks to the West of the subject site. 19. Closest B Zones: B-1 - 60 feet to the North along Wheaton Way. B-2 - 425 feet to the South along Wheaton Way. 20. Existing Utilities: Water, sewer, storm sewer/drainage (East side of Wheaton), power and telephone serve the site. 21. Sheridan Neighborhood Plan map (unadopted) designates the subject site as C-2 (second most intense commercial designation). 22. Council District: Number One. 23. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA): Declaration of Non- Significance issued August 3, 1984. Identified areas of concern: T~affic/transportation, erosion, storm water runoff, noise, light and glare. 24. Zoning ~Ordinance: Redevelopmen% of the site must meet all applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance (see A.2 above for summary of structure, setback, and lot provisions for non-residential building.) 25. Bremerton Area Plan: See Exhibit E of Planning Commission Resolution No. 730 for applicable policies. 26. Sheridan Neighborhood Plan (unadopted): See Exhibit F of Planning Commission Resolution No. 730 for applicable neighborhood statements. Conclusions The applicant is proposing a rezone for a site which has been a home occupation in the R-1 zone. The adjacent property to the North is a travel agent business which is operating as a non-conforming use in the R-1 zone. Approval of a business zone at this site would reinforce the precedent for further business zoning between Sylvan and Sheridan along Wheaton Way. Approval of a business zone at this site would not be consistent with Bremerton Area Plan Policies regarding containment of existing "strip" commercial development and concentration of business development. The potential increased traffic from a business development at the subject site would probably be accommodated by Wheaton Way, however, additional traffic will contribute an incremental increase to the congestion and accidents currently encountered on Wheaton Way. Due to the stated need by the City Engineer for additional right of way along Wheaton Way between Sheridan and Sylvan, if the subject request is approved, the rezone should include the following condition: Any new buildings shall be setback at least six (6) feet from the East property line in order to facilitate future widening of Wheaton Way. Due to the extremely high levels of traffic along this portion of Wheaton Way, the character of the area has changed and become less desirable for residential uses. The existing infrastructure and utilities (water and sewer) are capable of supporting urban levels of service. Wheaton Way, with an average weekday traffic count of over 29,000 vehicles, is conducive to businesses (B-2 and B-3) which require higher traffic volu~es.
