Shoreline Master Program: Not applicable. Subject site lies just outside of the shoreline designation area. 850423004,! BEEL,338FJ:J Conclusions 1. The proposed rezone is generally consistent with Bremerton Area Plan policies which encourage business in established business areas, along streets with higher traffic volumes, away from residential R-1 zones, and within the CBD core area. 2. According to the information to date, no significant adverse environmental or public service impacts have been identified with the proposed rezone. 3. The existing infrastructure (i.e. water, sewer, storm drainage) is capable of supporting a business zone at this site. 4. Both Washington Avenue (a designated State Highway and arterial) and Sixth Street (designated arterial) would most likely accommodate any increased traffic which could be generated from a business zone at the site. 5. A business zone at this site could provide for more intense use of the subject property while being compatible with other business/commercial zones in the area: B-2 zone - 14 feet West. B-3 zone - 70 feet Southeast also 200 feet West. C zone - 14 feet Southwest also 120 feet South. 6. Approval of this rezone would be consistent with other rezones which have occurred in the CBD area to provide more commercial/business properties for CBD economic development and redevelopment activities. 7. The applicant is requesting a higher business zone (B-3) than is needed for his stated intensions: commercial parking (allowed in B-2) and kitchen/dining facilities (cafes 1000' square feet and under allowed in B-l). However, the question is what is the appropriate zone for this property not just what zone will allow for the applicant's stated intensions. (Please note the Planning Commission recommended a rezone from R-2 to B-2, not B-3 as the applicant requested. However, the City Council approved the rezone request to B- 3). 85o4330044
