RESOLUTION amending the "City of Bremerton Shoreline
Management Master Program" to clarify the height limits
in the Urban Residential Environment and to make the
lot width coverage requirements less restrictive for
single family residential development in the Urban
Residential Environment.
WHEREAS, the City of Bremerton adopted a Shoreline Management Master
Program on October 5, 1977 which was approved by the State of Washington Depart-
ment of Ecology on January 9, 1978, and
WHEREAS, it became evident through the application of the restrictions
in Appendix D of Bremerton's Master Program which regulate height, setbacks and
lot width coverage in the Urban Residential Environment that these restrictions
needed to be reevaluated to consider clarifying them and making them less restric-
tive to single family residential development, and
WHEREAS, the Bremerton City Council held a duly advertised public
hearing on these matters on May 9, 1978, and
WHEREAS, the Bremerton City Council took substantial public testimony,
reviewed proposals from the Bremerton Planning Department and heard discussion
of the matters before them from the City Attorney, and
WHEREAS, after due consideration of the issues involved the Bremerton
City Council passed a motion on May 9, 1976 amending the two portions of Appendix D
of Bremerton's Master Program which regulate lot width coverage for single family
residential development and structure height in the Urban Residential Environment
as follows;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE CITY OF BREMERTON, WASHINGTON

single family residential development the lot width coverage
shall be limited in accordance with other existing regulations."

ment of Ecology approval,
