"The family everyone can be a part of"
City Council Update - February 7, 2007
1) Our most popular military family program is "Military Date Night" - the first Saturday of each
month from 5:30 to 9:30 pm. Approximately 40 couples used the program in February. Active
Military couples can drop-off their children as young as four weeks, up to 12 years old, for a
much needed night out for only $3 per child per hour, or even less with a pre-purchased punch
card. The next Military Date Night will be on March 3rd.
2) A couple of different programs and activities are now going on-
a. Youth Instructional Basketball for 30 boys and girls from 1 st thru 4th grades is in
progress at Cottonwood School;
b. Our "Resolution Run/Walk Series" has completed two runs, with more than 60
participants for the 10K run on Super Bowl Sunday. Two dates remain, a 15K run on
March 4th and a 20K run on April 1 st.
c. Additional information on these and other programs are available on our website -
www.kitsapfamilyymca.org.
3) Our award winning "Teen Late Night" is EVERY Friday night from 8:30 to 11 pm. Many
activities are available - swimming, hot tub, basketball, dodge ball, to name a few - and it
includes pizza and pop in the cost, which is just $5 for non-member teens. Two weeks ago,
more than 120 teenagers participated.
4) I always mention "Splash & Jam," our great program for families with children of all ages on
the third Saturday of the month - which is the 17th of this month. Last month we had a great
night - 314 children and adults in attendance!
5) The Valentine's Ice Cream Social I mentioned last month will be held on Tuesday, February
13th, from 5-6:30 pm. You are invited to use your 3-visit passes to bring your families in for
the social.

City Appointment Application
Page I of2
If yes, how many years have you served on this commission/committee? n/a
Why are you applying for this appointment? I am applying for this appointment because I want to be
involved and give back to my community. I am very excited about the revitaization of Bremerton and would
like to help this city realize it's full potential to be a thriving metropolitan center for Kitsap County.
Which of your personal and/or professional interests prompted you to apply for this appointment? My
personal and professional interest in both Real Estate, Architecture and local development projects prompted
me to apply for this appointment. I try to closely follow projects that are happening in my community and keep
abreast of current development projects. I find this information interesting and my clients often ask me if I
know what is being built or developed 'around town.'
Have you ever served on any other Bremerton Board, Commission, Committee or Task Force? If yes,
please list: No
Please list your qualifications for this appointment (include skills, activities, training, education):
I am currently a licensed Real Estate Agent and I have a degree in Business Administration, but I do not have
any specific certifications/education in Architecture, Structural Engineering, Landscape Architecture, etc. as
specified in the ordinance. However, I do have an innate interest and passion in all building design and
aesthetics and I do pay close attention to all of these areas as I view or research properties for my own personal
interest or for my clients. I also have a skill for learning and research ~nd so if the need arises that I need to
educate myself on an architectural component, landscaping, etc, I can definitely do that. I believe that my
experience combined with my interest in the revitalization of Bremerton will make me a contributing member
of the Design Review Board.
What are your community interests (committees, organizations, special activities)? Member of the
National Association of Realtors, member ofa NK Parks and Rec Soccer Team
We welcome your willingness to serve Bremerton. For more information please contact the Mayor's Office at

SUMMARY: Since 1959 the Bremerton Central Lions Club has been insttitmental in the
development and improvement of Lions Community Playfield. The Club's membership has helped
fund the tennis courts, restrooms, play area, ballfield improvements and storage building by donating
cash and labor. In recognition of the fact that Lion's Playfield is now a full service community park
providing multiple recreational opportunities including water access, tennis, basketball, athletic
fields,and walking paths the name designation of Lions Park is more inclusive and appropriate than
the current name Lions Community Playfield.
This naming change will be brought to the Parks and Recreation Board on January 23rd for
recommendation. The item is strongly supported by the Bremerton Central Lions Club.

MEMORANDUM
To: City Council
From: GeoffWentlandt, City Planner
Date: January 17, 2006
Re: Westpark Sub Area Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff and the Planning Commission are pleased to present the proposed Westpark Sub
Area Plan. The Sub Area Plan includes two primary components: 1) an amendment to
the 2004 Bremerton Comprehensive Plan adding the Westpark Sub Area Plan and, 2)
development regulations for Westpark that will function as zoning upon Plan adoption.
Westpark is an eighty-six (86) site in West Bremerton containing an existing Public
Housing community that was built in 1941 and is owned and operated by the Bremerton
Housing Authority (BHA). Westpark was designated in the 2004 Comprehensive Plan
as a Public Sector Redevelopment Site (PSRS). Extensive community and stakeholder
meetings were held on the Westpark Sub Area Plan between the Spring of 2006 and
the present. The Plan was submitted to DCD on October 17, 2006, and was presented
to the Planning Commission during a workshop at that time. Planning Commission
made a formal recommendation to adopt the Westpark Sub Area Plan, with minor
amendments, on November 21,2006.
Copies of the Sub Area Plan are distributed to City Council, and are available at
Bremerton City Hall and on the City of Bremerton Web Page.
ANAL YSIS
The purpose of the Sub Area Plan is to establish a development plan for the project
area and create regulations to govern redevelopment as consistent with the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan. The Sub Area Plan is a more detailed plan that fits within the
framework of the Comprehensive Plan. The Sub Area Plan is required to include: 1) a
demonstration of Comprehensive Plan Consistency; 2) Development Standards or
"zoning" and; 3) Public Participation Process. Over the past year the Westpark Design
Team worked with city staff and the Planning Commission to create a plan that includes
the requisite items. See also the Planning Commission Findings of Fact Document for
analysis on the Sub Area Plan.
Comprehensive Plan Consistency -The Westpark Sub Area Plan includes extensive
documentation of how it is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan's Public Sector Redevelopment Site (PSRS) designation. (pages 5 - 11). PSRS
calls for mixed type residential development, provision of unique community benefit, and
a secondary commercial or office component.
Development Standards - Since the Plan will also function as site-specific zoning,
enforceable development standards are necessary. The proposed development
standards will apply to the site even if the developing entity changes. The standards will
also govern future redevelopment of lots. The Plan provides detailed standards (Pgs.
27 - 68) according to eight (8) land use designations. The Plan also cross-references
to the BMC Title 20 zoning code for items as necessary.
Public Participation Process - A public participation process for the Westpark Sub
Area Plan has been ongoing since March of 2006. The Sub Area Plan includes a full
section on Public Process and documents the findings in detail (Pgs. 9 - 11). A key
component of the public participation process was a week long design charrette held
May 8 - 12 of 2006. To solicit public participation notice was mailed to residents within
300 ft. of the site, published in the Kitsap Sun, and publicized through other outlets.
Numerous feature news articles were published on the process, and the participation
process was featured on a local network news program. Participation for the Sub Area
Plan has met and exceeded that required per BMC 20.80.
Plan Implementation - Once adopted, the Sub Area Plan becomes an integral part of
both the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. The Comprehensive Plan
amendment is enabled by the Compo Plan Land Use element, page LU-24, which
identifies PSRS sites as areas where specific area plans (or sub area plans) should be
developed. Second, the Zoning Code amendment is activated by a reference to the
adoption ordinance for this plan in Chapter 20.80. The proposed Ordinance includes
the text amendment to BMC 20.80.080.
The reader should note that it is acceptable to bring forward the Comprehensive Plan
amendment at this time because amendments may be considered more frequently than
once per year with the initial adoption of a Sub Area Plan so long as it does not modify
the comprehensive plan policies and designations (see RCW 36.70A.130 (2)(i)).
SEPA
Adoption of development regulations and amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
require evaluation of environment impacts through the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) process. An environmental impact statement (EIS) complying with SEPA and
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is currently being prepared for the Westpark
Redevelopment project. The EIS document is not anticipated to be completed until the
Spring of 2007. However, the City has determined that adoption of the Westpark Sub
Area Plan and the project-level action on redevelopment of the Westpark site can be
reviewed in different environmental documents per the provisions for phased
environmental review in SEPA rules.
/
The Westpark Sub Area Plan is a non-project action considering general planning level
items and establishing land use regulations, whereas the redevelopment of the
Westpark site is a specific project-level proposal considering detailed items such as
grading, stormwater conveyance and other project-specific actions. As a non-project
action, it is appropriate for the Westpark Sub Area Plan to be considered separately
from the EIS evaluation of the site's project level redevelopment. Therefore, the City
has elected to consider environmental review for the Sub Area Plan in an addendum to
the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) prepared with the 2004
Bremerton Comprehensive Plan.
The SEIS addendum documents that the Westpark Sub Area Plan's land use
designations do not significantly change the analysis of impacts or alternatives in the
existing SEIS. Notice and publication procedure for an Addendum include publication of
a Determination of Significance (OS) coupled with Notice of Adoption of the existing
EIS.On January 24,2007 the City of Bremerton published such notice of the addendum,
and directly notified SEPA commenting agencies.
OPTIONS
1. Adopt the proposed ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan to include the
Westpark Sub Area Plan and amend BMC Chapter 20.80.080 to activate the
development standards of the Plan..
2. Take no official action on the West Park Sub Area Plan, continue deliberation,
and make additional revisions before moving on the Plan.

WESTPARK
1 - INTRODUCTION
A. Site Location & History
The 82-acre Westpark site is located in West
Bremerton, bounded by Kitsap Way on the north,
Oyster Bay Way on the east, and State Route 3 on
the west.
The existing Westpark public housing community
was built in 1941 and is owned and operated by
the Bremerton Housing Authority (BHA). The
community is the remnant of a larger World War
II-era housing project that was built as temporary
housing for shipyard workers. The site currently
contains 631 residential units, primarily one-
story duplex and four-plex in design, and a 60-
unit apartment building for elderly and disabled
residents. A 72-unit assisted living facility (the
Firs II) is currently under construction. Ninety
percent or more of existing units are for low
income families and individuals. The site also
provides community functions (a community
center, senior center, teen center, and head start
facility) and some local services (laundry, storage
facilities, maintenance shop, and administrative
offices
The surrounding neighborhood contains a mix of
residential, commercial and industrial land uses,
including auto-oriented and larger retail uses
along Kitsap Way. Kitsap Way in this area serves
as a "gateway" to the City of Bremerton, though it
is currently lacking in definition.
B. Sub-Area Plan Vision
The vision for Westpark was created in consultation
with stakeholders, residents and neighbors. It
used an intensive design charrette process and
numerous community meetings, which are
summarized in Appendix A. It is also using
environmental analysis, including preparation
of an environmental impact statement (EIS), to
master plan the site consistent with environmental
constraints and opportunities.
The Sub-Area Plan concept is built upon four
major goals:
1. Promoting a mixed-use, mixed-income
traditional neighborhood.
2. Creating a pedestrian-oriented environment.
3. Maintaining/enhancing view corridors and
landscaping.
4. Enhancing the civic realm and creating more
usable public open space.
The new Westpark is envisioned as an urban
mixed-use, mixed-income pedestrian oriented
community. It will be characterized by a variety
of types and styles of housing to meet the needs of
a range of income groups. Accommodating these
groups will help to de-concentrate low income
housing in Bremerton. Retail and commercial uses
will provide for some of the everyday shopping
needs of residents, as well as provide some job
opportunities for residents. The quantity and
type of commercial uses will complement plans
for the Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center.
The site will be sensitively designed to maintain
significant open space and existing trees, to
preserve and enhance views, and to carefully
manage stormwater and other natural features.
New parks, civic spaces and outdoor amenities
will be created. Proposed development standards
and design guidelines, and covenants, conditions
and restrictions (CC&Rs), will establish high
standards for the quality of redevelopment, yet
provide flexibility to respond to market changes
and opportunities. The plan will provide high
quality infrastructure and services to residents.
The Westpark site will relate to the surrounding
neighborhood in terms of activities and scale,
and provide a catalyst and model for future
redevelopment.
C. Organization of Sub-Area Plan
The Sub-Area Plan is organized in five major
sections. Following this Introduction, Section
II describes the major objectives of the Plan,
and the planning regulatory context it has
been created within. The public/stakeholder
process and SEPA/NEPA compliance for the

plan are also described. Section III describes
existing site conditions, and the vision, goals
and objectives for redevelopment of Westpark.
The major elements of the sub-area plan -- land
use, housing, parks and open space, roads and
infrastructure are described in narrative and
graphics. This section will become an element of
the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan. Section IV
contains the zoning and development standards
that will apply to Westpark, including regulations
for uses, density, building heights, setbacks and
similar components of development. Section V
proposes design guidelines, which will be used by
the Design Review Committee and the City to
ensure that Westpark achieves the sub-area plan's
VISIon.

II.WESTPARK SUB-AREA PLAN-
PURPOSE, PROCESS. AND CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Westpark Sub-Area Plan is intended to
provide a road map for future redevelopment
of the site. It articulates the vision, goals and
objectives for redevelopment of Westpark, and
embodies the policies of the City of Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan, which it supplements. The
Plan also establishes zoning standards and design
guidelines which will guide the preparation of
future site development plans, subdivisions and
building permits by applicants; installation of
infrastructure, by Bremerton Housing Authority
(BHA) and individual developers; and review of
these plans by the City of Bremerton (City) and
the Westpark Design Review Committee (DRC).
The Sub-Area Plan reflects many elements of the
Redevelopment Master Plan for Westpark that
is being prepared by the Bremerton Housing
Authority. It is also responsive to the identification
of environmental impacts contained in the
Westpark EIS.
A. Local Planning Framework
Overview
The Westpark site has been the subject of several
City legislative actions over the past few years, and
was also addressed specifically in the City's recent
adoption of its updated Comprehensive Plan and
zoning code in 2004. These actions have provided
a framework for planning redevelopment of the
site.
In September 2003, the City amended its
Community Renewal Plan, pursuant to the
state Community Renewal Law (RCW 35.81),
to incorporate the Westpark site as a "blighted"
area for purposes of community renewal efforts
(Ordinance No. 4830 and 4870). The designation
was supported by findings that the site was isolated
from adjacent areas that building size and design
were deficient, and that physical deterioration
was a contributing factor to disinvestment in
the area. These actions also reaffirmed the City's
intent to cooperate and assist the Bremerton
Housing Authority in the redevelopment of
Westpark, (pursuant to RCW 35.83), and to
provide a framework for redevelopment in the
Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulations.
This framework is described below.
Public Sector Redevelopment Site (PSRS)
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates
Westpark as a Public Sector Redevelopment
Site (PSRS). These are special, large-scale sites
with high potential for development that is
innovative or that meets a unique community
need. They should be developed consistent with
specific district planning efforts that address the
site, compatibility with surrounding uses, and
consistency with the Compo Plan. A PSRS must
have a clearly defined community benefit, such as
meeting a public housing need. They may include
mixed type residential development with an open
space component and secondary commercial or
office development.
Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center
The Comprehensive Plan also designated a
neighborhood center for the Oyster Bay Area
adjacent to the Westpark site, on both sides
of Kitsap Way. This 37-acre center is seen as
redeveloping over time -- in conjunction with,
but slower than Westpark -- into an urban,
pedestrian-friendly area connected with the
surrounding area by trails and open space,
including access to the shoreline. The Center
would include a core, with mixed-use (residential
and commercial) buildings. The Center would
receive support from Westpark's residents and
workers; on-site land uses should be planned to
complement redevelopment of Oyster Bay.
Specific Area Plans
The Comprehensive Plan anticipates that more
detailed area-specific plans will be developed to
implement Public Sector Redevelopment Sites,
such as Westpark. Key aspects of these plans
include: a process that involves the community,
JaJ11,lar;: i 2. ,2(itY,7
VVESTPf\f~K
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan goals
and policies, and inclusion of development
standards and design guidelines. The Westpark
Sub-Area Plan is such a specific area plan and has
been developed to meet these requirements. The
relationship to the Comprehensive Plan goals is
discussed below.
B. Consistency of the Sub-Area Plan with
Bremerton's Comprehensive Plan
Bremerton Comprehensive Plan - Centers
Concept
The city's updated Comprehensive Plan is based
on a "Centers" concept, in which a significant
portion of the City's future growth will be guided
to numerous Centers designated throughout the
City. Centers vary in scale, function and character,
and each is intended to be a distinct district or
"village" with a unique character. Designated
centers range from the City Center, which provides
a wide range of activities that serve the entire City
and the region, to smaller neighborhood centers,
which provide goods and services and amenities
to residents within a neighborhood. In general,
centers are intended to be mixed-use, pedestiian-
friendly, well designed areas, with open space,
public gathering places, access to transit and
adequate infrastructure.
Shaping Bremerton Themes
1. Distinctive Growth, with Viable Neighborhoods
and Centers that Provide Greater Choice and
Convenience.
Redevelopment of Westpark would help to
revitalize an existing neighborhood that is
characterized by outdated, deteriorated housing
and infrastructure, and has been designated as
"blighted." The new Westpark neighborhood
would be characterized bymixed - usedevelopment,
a wide range of housing options affordable
to a mix of income groups, ample open space
and amenities, pedestrian accessibility, quality
design, improved infrastructure and enhanced
environmental resources. Some everyday goods
and services, and local employment opportunities,
would be provided on-site.
2. Enticing New Development, with a Focus on
the Downtown Regional Center.
The Bremerton Housing Authority is working
closely with the City and the broader community
to shape a plan for Westpark that fits the site
and is responsive to the City's requirements and
needs, including economic development, housing
opportunities and compatibility with the nearby
Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center. The City's
updated Comprehensive Plan and development
regulations provide guidance' and flexibility for
large public parcel development proposals like
Westpark.
3. Supportive Transportation, with Seamless,
Efficient and Varied Choices.
Regional transportation facilities bounding the
Westpark site include SR 3, Kitsap Way and Oyster
Bay Road. SR 3 is a four-lane, north-south freeway
serving Central Kitsap County. Kitsap Way is a
five-to-seven lane, limited access principal arterial
that connects West Bremerton to Central Kitsap
County (via SR 3). SR 3 and Kitsap Way intersect
just northwest of the Westpark site. Access to the
site is provided by Oyster Bay Avenue, Russell
Road (a portion of which is currently closed for
construction), Arsenal Road and McNeal Avenue.
Kitsap Transit provides public transit service to
the City of Bremerton. Routes No. 24 and 26
serve the Westpark site, with stops along Kitsap
Way (Route 24) and at the Firs Apartments on
Oyster Bay Avenue (Route 26). Service on both
routes has one-hour headways.
Kitsap Way has a designated bicycle lane, wide
shoulders, raised sidewalks on both sides, and
painted crosswalks with pedestrian call buttons.
A mid-block pedestrian crossing is located east of
Oyster Bay Avenue. Oyster Bay Avenue includes
raised sidewalks on one side of the street.
Two intersections of Kitsap Way - at Oyster Bay
Avenue and Pershing Avenue -- have relatively
high accident rates (based on the last three-year

Existing levels of service at major intersections
meet City of Bremerton standards. Those
experiencing the highest delays are Kitsap Way
at Marine Drive, and Kitsap Way at the SR 3
southbound ramps.
4. Improved Accessibility, especially for the
Pedestrian.
The Westpark site is being planned to support
multiple transportation modes, including
vehicles (through adequate access and parking);
transit (through higher urban densities and access
to the regional road system); and pedestrians (by
integrating trails and pedestrian amenities in a
mixed-use development pattern).
5. Quality Housing, with Broader Choices.
Existing housing at Westpark is old and deficient;
the Comprehensive Plan and several City
ordinances have identified the site's housing as
substandard and in need of revitalization. The
redeveloped Westpark would provide between
600 and 800 housing units in a variety of types
and styles, including single family attached
and detached (duplexes, townhouses, clustered
cottages), condominiums and apartments. Units
would be for sale and for rent, market-rate and
public housing. All existing public housing units
would be replaced either on-site (190 units) or
off-site, which would be consistent with the City's
desire to disperse public housing.
6. Business Support, with Increased Opportunity.
Westpark would contain approximately 50,000
square feet of retail, commercial and office
development, much of it located in mixed-use
buildings. These businesses would provide local
jobs and goods and services for residents of
Westpark and the surrounding neighborhood.
Westpark's residents would also provide market
support for existing and new commercial
development in the Oyster Bay Neighborhood
Center.
7. Environmental Management, Integrating
Natural Systems.
The plan for Westpark includes 28 acres of
parks and open space, and retains many existing
significant trees; disturbed areas of the site will
be landscaped. This open space and vegetation
provides habitat for species of urban wildlife,
as well as recreational opportunities for local
residents. Environmentally critical areas located
on and adjacent to the site (such as wetlands)
will be protected consistent with City regulations.
Stormwater will be controlled and treated
consistent with City requirements.
8. Community Service, Focusing on Assets
Westpark will install new infrastructure on the
site; facilities will be provided concurrent with
development. The Westpark EIS will evaluate the
service demands of the new population and help
ensure that any adverse impacts are addressed.
9. Design Review: Advancing quality urban
development.
The WestparkSub-Area plan includes development
standards and design guidelines that will apply
to all future development on the site. These
standards, and City review of future applications,
will ensure that future development is of high
quality and meets expectations. The BHA will also
develop Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions
(CC&Rs) that will also apply detailed design
requirements to land and buildings throughout
the site.
Community Character Goals
CCI Demonstrate excellent urban design
qualities in new development.
Redevelopment of the site will replace old,
substandard housing with modern dwelling units
and mixed-use buildings. The Sub-Area Plan
contains design guidelines that are intended to set
high standard for site and building design.
CC2 Assure that new development relates
to surrounding uses and provides
for urban livability.
The Westpark site is being master planned and
provides compatibility between land uses through
careful siting, use of open space and buffering,
,j~mu~ry 1_2, 2nn7
'vV E 5T PA f<..K
and transitIOns between uses of different
intensity. Westpark will function as a traditional
community, with a mix of activities that meet
the needs of daily life, connected by streets and
trails, and enhanced open space, urban amenities
and high quality design. The Master Plan also
considers land use and scale relationships to the
surrounding community, including the Oyster
Bay Neighborhood Center.
CC3 Provide for a safe, pleasant and rich
pedestrian experience.
Westpark would contain 57,000 linear feet of
pedestrian walkways and trails. Streets are
designed to accommodate pedestrians and to
make walking safe, pleasant and convenient.
Pedestrian amenities include landscaping,
benches, open space, pocket parks and lighting.
CC4 Promote the development of areas of
special character, encouraging a diversity
of communities within the city.
Westpark is a large site that presents unique
redevelopment opportunities. Its history and
status as a 1940's era public housing project with
aging and substandard facilities sets the stage for
its transformation into a modern, well-designed
urban mixed-use community located at a major
entrance to the City.
Land Use Goals
LV 1 Identify and enhance distinctive
neighborhoods, communities and
centers throughout the City.
As noted above, Westpark will be transformed
into a modern, well-designed urban mixed-use
community. It will be distinct in appearance
and character in the City's existing fabric. It
will also support development of the Oyster Bay
Neighborhood Center planned adjacent to the
site.
LV2 Integrate an open space system into
the land use pattern that increases
the amount of open space, protects
Bremerton's natural resources, and
provides a source of beauty and
enjoyment for all residents.
The Westpark plan includes 28 acres of parks and
open space that is integrated into the land use
pattern. Trees would be retained or replaced to
the greatest extent feasible. The open space plan
includes areas for active recreation - including ball-
fields, pocket parks, tot lots and gathering places
-- and for gathering and passive enjoyment.
LV4
Provide for walkability throughout
Centers and neighborhoods.
West park is intended to be a walkable community,
and has integrated the needs of the pedestrian
into its land use pattern and transportation
system. The plan includes 57,000 linear feet of
pedestrian paths and trails, connecting areas of
the site withoone other and with the surrounding
neighborhood.
LV5 Designate neighborhood, district, and
employment Centers on the Land Vse
Map that provide mixed-use
environments which serve as the
primary focus for growth.
Westpark is adjacent to the designated Oyster
Bay Neighborhood Center and would provide
a resident population to support the center's
planned growth.
LV7 In order to encourage new development
to occur in locations and patterns
consistent with the Vision(s), Goals and
Policies of this Plan - specifically
in Centers - remove or revise existing
land use designations that would site
multi-family uses in locations that do
not support the Centers Concept.
Westpark includes a mix of multi-family and
single-family housing. The proposed location
of multi-family housing adjacent to Kitsap Way
would support commercial activities anticipated
in the Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center.
LV 11 Provide for the viability of communities,
neighborhoods, and Centers through

strategic land use designations and
infrastructure provisions.
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates
Westpark as a Public Sector Redevelopment Site
(PSRS). This designation recognizes its public
ownership and the public interest in innovative
redevelopment that meets community needs.
The master plan has been developed through
a sub-area planning process, will be compatible
with adjacent uses, and will provide a variety of
housing types and ownership options that will
meet the needs of a variety of economic needs.
LU12 Support community-wide access to
amenities and services.
Westpark will provide open space and recreational
amenities that are available to all community
residents. The site has also been planned to
maintain and enhance views of the water.
LU17 Adopt and implement appropriate
standards and regulations for stormwater
management. The City of Bremerton
should adopt and implement regional
plans, strategies, and standards as
appropriate, including but not limited to
the Seattle/King County Storm Water
Manual, FEMA maps, and the
Puget Sound Action Team's 2000 Water
Quality Plan.
Stormwater will be managed in a manner
consistent with city standards. Water quality
treatment will be implemented prior to discharge,
and the existing outfall to Oyster Bay will be
modified to accommodate flows from Westpark
and off-site sources.
C. Public/Stakeholder Process
The Westpark Sub Area Plan reflects the efforts
of many people - city leaders and staff, the many
citizens and Westpark residents who turned out for
the community meetings and week-long public
design charrette: urban designers, architects,
traffic planners, civil engineers, environmental
specialists, and market consultants to name a
few.
Community meetings were advertised through
a combination of mailed and published notices,
posted signs, and newsletters. Westpark residents,
neighbors within 300 feet, and the community at
large were invited to participate in the process. All
residents of Westpark and within 300 feet of the
site received written notices and invitations
The public process conducted for the Sub Area
Plan included the following outreach efforts and
comment opportunities:
. Four public community meetings:
o March 16, 2006
o May 12, 2006
o June 22, 2006 (EIS scoping included)
o September 14, 2006
. A week-long design charrette:
o May 8-12, 2006
. Two stakeholder's meetings:
o April 19,2006
o July 13, 2006
SEPA/NEPA scoping meetings and EIS
meetings:
o June 22, 2006
. Bremerton Planning Commission workshops
and public hearings:
o October 17,2006
o November 21, 2006
. Bremerton City Council public hearings and
meetings:
o January 24, 2007
o February 7, 2007

\/v' E s-r P J\ ItK
At each of the meetings, the current status of
the design process was presented, and attendees
were invited to comment on the design, and to
ask questions about the project and the process.
The goal of the stakeholder process was to create a
vibrant neighborhood that reflects multiple public
objectives, with the participation and support of
the community as a whole.
The content of the public meetings were as
follows:
Community Meeting # I: March 16, 2006 -
West Hills Elementary School Gymnasium
This meeting included presentation of the existing
conditions on the Westpark site, along with the
proposed process for redeveloping the site. Goals
and possibilities for the site were presented, and
an invitation for the public to participate in the
process of creating the Sub Area Plan document.
The timeline and process for the project were
presented, and a question and answer session
followed.
Questions from attendees, mostly eXlstmg
Westpark residents, were focused on the relocation
plan, demolition, and future rent levels for the
replaced subsidized housing.
Stakeholder's Meeting #1: April 19, 2006-
Westpark Community Center
This meeting included presentation of the
existing conditions on the Westpark site, along
with the proposed process for redeveloping the
site specifically geared toward those neighboring
businesses and agencies affected by the
Westpark redevelopment. Retail and commercial
components of the project were presented, with
a discussion of potential impact to surrounding
businesses. The timeline, process and current
status of the project were also presented, with a
question and answer session following.
Questions from the stakeholders included the
following topics: project financing; whether land
will be sold as a large block, or in individual lots;
the anticipated income of future residents; use of
design standards; ability to rent units; housing
for residents not returning to Westpark; and type
of retail development that will face Oyster Bay
Avenue.
Community Meeting #2 (Design Charrette):
May 8-12, 2006 - Westpark Community
Center
At the Design Charrette, the public had the
opportunity to interact directly with the design
team over the course of a week while the design
was in process, allowing true public input. Each
night (with the exception of Thursday) during
the charrette there was a presentation and
question and answer session, outlining the day's
progress. On the final evening, all of the drawings
were presented, including the preferred site plan,
which was generated through input from each
of the agencies and stakeholders involved, along
with the many members of the local community
that participated. This final presentation served
as the "official" public meeting component of the
charrette, and was followed by a question and
answer sessiQn.
Questions raised at the meeting addressed the
following topics: replacement of existing streets;
density of housing; noise; availability of units for
the disabled; phasing of construction; grading of
the site; storm water management; sale of lots to
individuals.
Community Meeting #3: June 22, 2006 -
Westpark Community Center
This meeting included presentation of the EIS
process, along with the proposed process for
the environmental approval process. A question
and answer session specific to the EIS was held,
followed by an update of the overall design process
for the site. There was an additional opportunity
for questions and answers after the design process
update.
Questions and comments addressed the following
topics: fill proposed for the existing ball field and
potential seismic event; timing of construction;
communication with residents about project
progress; impacts on existing wildlife; questions
about the relocation process; kinds of future
businesses; lighting; water features; BHA
ownership of housing; whether there will be
multiple builders for the for-sale housing; and
name of the new community.

This meeting was geared toward the stakeholders
and included an update on the design process for
redeveloping the site. Timelines for relocation of
the current Westpark residents and construction
were presented, with a question and answer
session following.
Questions from the stakeholders included the
status of the grading design; and status of the
stormwater system.
More detailed documentation of the public
process is on file with the City of Bremerton.
D. SEPA/NEPA Environmental Review
The review process for the proposed re-
development of Westpark, and adoption of
this sub-area plan, includes preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to comply
with the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) and the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA). A single EIS will be prepared to satisfy
NEPA and SEPA requirements.
The purpose of an EIS is to present information
about the environmental consequences of
proposals, including redevelopment projects,
to consider alternative courses of action, and
to mitigate environmental impacts that are
avoidable. Presentation of this information
in an EIS is intended to ensure that decision
makers are aware of impacts to the natural and
human environments, and that they consider
opportunities to mitigate impacts. The process
also provides opportunities for interested agencies,
tribes and citizens to comment on proposals and
to be involved in their consideration.
Compliance with NEPA is required because
the project will involve federal action, by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), to use federal funds in redeveloping
the site. A Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS
was published in the Federal Register on June 7,
2006. The City of Bremerton, which has been
designated as the Responsible Entity (RE) for
NEPA compliance, is serving as the NEPA lead
agency.
Compliance with SEPA is also required because
the proposal could significantly affect the
environment. A Determination of Significance
and Scoping Notice -- declaring that an EIS
would be prepared and inviting comments on
the scope of the document - was published in
the Kitsap Sun on June 6, 2006 The Bremerton
Housing Authority is acting as the lead agency for
SEPA compliance. A joint SEPA/NEPA Scoping
Meeting was held on June 22, 2006 at the Westpark
Community Center. The public comment period
closed on June 27, 2006. The EIS is being prepared
as of this writing.

E. Westpark Design Review Committee
All new development proposals will adhere to
the development review, permitting and design
approval processes of the City of Bremerton
and the Westpark Design Review Committee
(DRC). DRC planning and design guidelines
are identified in the Sub-Area Plan. Covenants,
Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R's) will also
apply to all property on the site that is sold for
redevelopment, to help ensure that all proposals
meet relevant requirements.
The Bremerton Housing Authority has contracted
with a development consultant who is responsible
for all development within the boundaries of the
project site. The development consultant will
assemble a Westpark Design Review Committee
(DRC) responsible for the review and approval
of all permit applications prior to their submittal
to the City of Bremerton. Upon approval the
DRC will issue a certificate that will be required
to be included with the submittal to the City.
Permit applications will not be accepted by the
City without the approval of the DRC. The City
will maintain its primary authority to review
and approve plans for consistency with zoning
and development standards, and building
requirements, as required by law. In particular,
the Design Review Committee will ensure that
proposed development is consistent with the
intent and specifics of adopted design guidelines,
and with any adopted Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions (CC&R's) adopted for the Westpark
site.

III. WESTPARK SUB-AREA PLAN
A. Existing Site Conditions
Overview
Drainage
Stormwater within the site IS conveyed by
overland flow and through a rudimentary
system of open ditches and enclosed drainage
pipes. Outside of the project area, stormwater is
conveyed away from the site in open ditches and
enclosed drainage systems. Stormwater from
the on-site area combines with stormwater from
off-site areas in the conveyance systems outside
of the project area. There are no known sources
of off-site stormwater that is routed through the
existing Westpark drainage system.
The existing 82cacre Westpark site is characterized
by steep slopes, with site grades varying between
60 feet and 180 feet in elevation. There are stands
oflarge coniferous trees and dispersed ornamental
deciduous trees, which will be preserved where
feasible. The existing housing units are small,
antiquated, and scattered throughout the site with
very little connection to the streets, the community
or each other. The network of roads provides little
connectivity to the larger community, and within
the site, which fosters a sense of isolation from the
adjacent neighborhoods, and contributes to the
impression of Westpark as an island of poverty
within the City of Bremerton.
There are no known existing water quality
treatment facilities within the Westpark site.
Stormwater treatment for the redeveloped
conditions o"n the overall site will be provided
in accordance with Title 15.04.042 of the City's
-

municipal code. Water quality treatment facilities
will be designed based on the King County
Surface Water Design Manual as referenced in
Division 4 - Storm Drainage of the City's Public
Works standards, using Department of Ecology
(Ecology) hydrologic simulation software to
calculate flow rates and volumes
Currently, most of the site discharges through
two existing outfalls into Oyster Bay. Peak flow
rates routed through these outfalls are expected
to increase due to increases in impervious surface,
and some possible rerouting of stormwater. Flow
control will be provided on-site to mitigate
for increases in flow rates and durations at the
outfalls into Sinclair Inlet and Ostrich Bay, and
for any portions of the on-site areas that discharge
through these outfalls. Flow control facilities are
not proposed for most of the Sub-Area because
Oyster Bay is relatively close to the Westpark site
and because the capacity of the existing outfall
will be increased as a part of the Firs II project,
which is currently under construction.
A new outfall structure is proposed near the
shoreline to mitigate for the increase in flow rates
through the existing Oyster Bay Road outfall.
Based on preliminary studies, a new outfall would
be more effective and have fewer impacts to marine
habitat than other discharge alternatives. It would
be designed to accommodate stormwater flows
from both the Westpark Sub-area and off-site
areas that are routed to the outfall.
A new storm drain would be constructed from a
nearby manhole to the new outfall structure. The
outfall structure would be designed to reduce the
velocity of discharged water (stilling basin) and
to reduce the erosion potential of adjacent soils
(riprap).
Transportation
Regional transportation facilities bounding the
Westpark site include SR 3, Kitsap Way and Oyster
Bay Road. SR 3 is a four-lane, north-south freeway
serving Central Kitsap County. Kitsap Way is a
five-to-seven lane, limited access principal arterial
that connects West Bremerton to Central Kitsap
County (via SR 3). SR 3 and Kitsap Way intersect
just northwest of the Westpark site. Access to the
site is provided by Oyster Bay Avenue, Russell
Road (a portion of which is currently closed for
construction), Arsenal Road and McNeal Avenue.
Kitsap Transit provides public transit service to
the City of Bremerton. Routes No. 24 and 26
serve the Westpark site, with stops along Kitsap
Way (Route 24) and at the Firs Apartments on
Oyster Bay Avenue (Route 26). Service on both
routes has one-hour headways.
Kitsap Way has a designated bicycle lane, wide
shoulders, raised sidewalks on both sides, and
painted crosswalks with pedestrian call buttons.
A mid-block pedestrian crossing is located east of
Oyster Bay Avenue. Oyster Bay Avenue includes
raised sidewalks on one side of the street.
Two intersecJions of Kitsap Way - at Oyster Bay
Avenue and Pershing Avenue n have relatively
high accident rates (based on the last three-year
average)
Existing levels of service at major intersections
meet City of Bremerton standards. Those
experiencing the highest delays are Kitsap Way
at Marine Drive, and Kitsap Way at the SR 3
southbound ramps.
Critical Areas
The Westpark site does not contain wetlands or
streams, based on preliminary analysis. These
resources are presently adjacent to the site,
however, and on-site activities (e.g., stormwater
runoff) will need to be managed to protect off-
site water quality and habitat. The site's trees and
vegetation provide a valuable environmental and
visual amenity, but do not provide habitat for
designated threatened, endangered or sensitive
species. Critical aquifer recharge areas are not
present. Some steep slopes areas do occur and
will be addressed through site planning consistent
with City requirements.

Summary of Opportunities and
Constraints
(along Kitsap Way), are within convenient
walking distance and are accessible from the
surrounding community. Westpark residents
would provide economic support for on-site
and off-site services.
. The site is not significantly constrained by
critical areas (e.g., wetlands, streams, fish and
wildlife habitat, aquifer recharge areas). It does
contain some steep slope areas that will need to
be stabilized and carefully engineered.
. Mature landscaping and significant trees are
present on the site. These features are valuable
amenities and provide opportunities for
integration into a system of parks and open
space.
. The site contains a concentration oflow income
housing. The sub-area plan will' replace a
portion of low income housing on-site, and
will disperse some low income to other areas
of Bremer.ton and Kitsap County
. Some important neighborhood services - e.g.,
police, fire, and a community center -- are
present on-site or in the immediate vicinity.
Based on natural features, site location and
expressed public and private planning objectives,
the Westpark site possesses significant
opportunities for redevelopment. There are also
a number of constraints that will be addressed
through the sub-area planning and master
planning processes.
. The site's topography is varied and dramatic.
Three high points within the site would most
likely create beautiful views towards Oyster
Bay.
. Westpark is bounded by State Road 3 and
Kitsap Way. These two primary roads carry high
volumes of traffic, which creates a perceptible
level of noise within the site.
. A five-minute walking distance (quarter-
mile radius) is often used as a benchmark for
planning traditional neighborhoods. Most of
the site, and portions of the planned Oyster
Bay Neighborhood Center commercial area

B. Sub-Area Plan Vision, Goals and
Objectives
. To provide a varied set of housing and lot types
to promote a mixed income neighborhood
. To encourage development of new neighborhood
retail along Arsenal Way and at the intersection
of Kitsap Way and Oyster Bay Road
. Connect to and re-use existing infrastructure
where appropriate
The vision of the Westpark Sub-Area Plan
is to provide a modern, mixed-use, mixed-
income, pedestrian-friendly and amenity-rich
neighborhood for residents, neighbors and
visitors. Redevelopment will create a particular
kind of place -- one that provides space for the
community to gather and interact. Streets, plazas
and other public spaces will all be designed with
the care and attention to detail required to make
them function as the "living rooms" of the new
Westpark.
2. To Create a Pedestrian Oriented Environment
. To conceal retail parking in the middle of blocks
to enhance the public realm for pedestrians
along the street
. To place residential garages off of alleys and
encourage front porches to create pedestrian
oriented residential streets
Improve pedestrian and bicycle connections
within and outside of the Westpark site
. Encourage the use of public transit
. Provide and enhance bike trails through existing
wooded and landscaped areas
The pedestrian oriented design is reflected in
a clearly defined "main street", small-scaled
blocks, and pedestrian-scale buildings that front
directly on landscaped streets. Water features or
public art parks, and stands of significant trees
also contribute to this definition. In addition, a
sequence of open spaces linking Oyster Bay Road
to the retail area on Arsenal Way will contribute
to the pedestrian experience. The sub-area
plan's overall goals and objectives include the
following:
3. To maintain and enhance existing Vlew
corridors and landscape
. Take advantage of views north to Oyster Bay
. Maintain and enhance trees and landscape
along the south side of Kitsap Way and through
the center of the site
. Develop public neighborhood parks and
greens adjacent to existing landscape features
and views
1. To promote a Mixed-use, Mixed Income
Neighborhood
. To promote a liveable, walkable community
through traditional neighborhood-making
principles

4. To enhance the civic realm and create more
useable public open spaces.
5. To integrate low impact development
approaches into the site master plan.
o Reduce street widths where appropriate to help
reduce impervious surfaces
. Maintain and integrate open space into the site
plan
o Investigate stormwater design that uses bio
swales and infiltrates stormwater where
appropriate
. Provide an enhanced area around the
community center and existing outdoor
amenities
o Enhance and integrate the existing fire station
into the neighborhood and main street concept
area
Create smaller pocket parks throughout the
neighborhood to promote walkability and
security
. Improve and create parks and civic spaces
]<..inLF.:;i'y 12, .200'7
v\l E Sl~ P AR.K
Open Space Goals
. Create parks that enhance the community and
encourage and support social interaction.
. Create open spaces easily accessible to
residents.
. Create parks that appeal to a wide range of age
groups. A diversity of park types should be
established to offer a diversity of passive and
active uses.
. Use the 'eyes-on-the-park' to create safe active
environments. Lighting, layout and visibility
are key factors in the design of active parks.
. Parks should have trash and recycling bins
that meet the needs of the users.
. Use resilient materials that reduce maintenance
costs.
. Increase community partiCIpation through
direct access for residents from their homes to
adjacent parks.
. Create public viewing areas.
. Provide for an Urban Trail through the natural
area and along Kitsap Way.
. Provide for wildlife through preservation and
enhancement of the natural area.
Westpark's landscape will also serve to enhance
the site's architecture and relate to the local
environment. The topography of the site allows for
varied relationships of architecture and landscape,
which will be distinguish among neighborhoods.
Open and accessible spaces, and convenient seating
will encourage human interaction and create a safe
and visible environment for children. Pedestrian
scale lighting will enhance the streetscape, alleys
and parks. Narrower streets will calm traffic and
protect pedestrians.
C. Sub-Area Plan Elements
The Westpark Sub-Area Plan addresses the
following elements:
1. Land Use, including the master site plan map
and identification of major land uses.
2. Housing, including the expected number of
for-sale, rental, market rate and low income units;
and planned densities.
3. Open Space, landscaping and amenities.
4. Roads and Infrastructure, including vehicular
and non-vehicular circulation systems, storm
water management and site utilities.
The proposed Master Plan for Westpark IS
illustrated in Figure 3.
Westpark will be a mixed-use, mixed income
community drawing on the best of traditional
neighborhood design and the rich history of
Bremerton, while employing modern amenities
and taking advantage of the topography,
landscape and views. The intent is to build a
warm community, where neighbors interact and
walk on beautiful tree-lined residential streets,
and where pedestrian circulation is prioritized
over automobile traffic. The areas of the site
where retail is proposed will be designed to be
lively, energized and will have a "village main
street" feel about them.
The Land Use Plan is loosely based upon a grid
of interconnected streets that provide multiple
routes to any destination. This configuration
allows easy pedestrian and vehicular circulation
throughout the neighborhood by spreading
out traffic loads. Sidewalks, street trees, and
appropriately scaled street lights and furniture
will provide richly detailed streetscapes.
A unique sense of place will be created through
the arrangement of vibrant public spaces, a
clear hierarchy of pedestrian-friendly streets, a
balanced program of residences, retail services,
offices, community buildings and spaces, as well
as an architecture that responds to the northwest
vernacular. Buildings that line public spaces will
enclose and frame the public realm, and connect
to one another at the scale of the pedestrian.
Foremost, Westpark will be a residential
community, offering numerous types, styles
and sizes of residential units types, at varying
densities, to meet the community's housing needs
and to accommodate a spectrum of income

will be the Summit Park, a large open space which
will provide opportunities for active recreation
and passive enjoyment of significant vegetation.

of office), some of which will have plazas and other
urban open spaces. The site's more intensive land
uses - including larger, high density residential
buildings, and a retail/commercial village -- will
be located along the site's outer edges, closer to
(but buffered from) major arterials. All of the site's
activities, however, will be within a convenient
walk or bike-ride via Westpark's system of paths
and trails.
Different land uses will be arranged compatibly
in distinct neighborhoods, and in mixed-use
buildings (e.g., residential with ground floor retail

Mix of Land Uses
Westpark will be redeveloped in phases with a
mix of land uses that will create a community.
The types and amounts of proposed land uses
are summarized in Table 1.
Residential uses - including single family attached
and detached in a variety of designs, and multi-
family - will predominate. Retail and service uses
will also be provided to meet the everyday needs
of residents; these activities would support the
more diverse, larger scale commercial activities
occurring along Kitsap Way, in the designated
Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center. Some activities
- retail/commercial and residential would occur in
mixed-use buildings. More intensive and larger-
scale land uses (retail, commercial, and larger
multi-family buildings) will generally be located
closer to the site's boundaries, transitioning to
residential and open space uses in more central
portions of the site.
Westpark also desires to maintain the flexibility
to possibly expand on-site retail activities in
the future, in response to changes in market
conditions. Refer to page 25 for requirements for
future changes to the Sub-Area Plan.

Notes:
1. Single family includes attached townhouses, duplexes and cottages, and detached units.
2. Multi-family includes apartments and condo units. Some multi-family units will be included in mixed-use buildings (e.g., with retail
or commercial uses).
Density
Westpark is planned as an urban community
with urban densities. The density of residential
development would range from 12 dwelling units
per acre (for detached single family) to 65 dwelling
units per acre (for the most intensive multi-
family), varying with the type of unit. Gross
density would be 9.5 dwelling units per acre, and
average net density would be 15 dwelling units per
acre. Refer to Figure 5 for recommended density
by block.
Average net density would be used as a target
to monitor the achievement of urban densities
for the sub-area as a whole. Individual projects
must be within the range that is specified for the
type of residential unit in the Sub-Area Plan's
development standards. Variations in density
are anticipated throughout the site, subject to the
limits in the development standards.

Housing Program
will be demolished as part of redevelopment and
will include a mix of rental duplexes, townhouses
and apartments. A total of 190 replacement
low-income units are proposed on-site. All other
existing low income units will be replaced off-
site, at various locations in Bremerton and Kitsap
County; there will be no net loss of low income
units as a result of redevelopment. The BHA
is developing a detailed plan for replacement
housing. All existing Westpark residents in good
standing will be eligible for new units, either on-
site or off-site.
2. Housing
Westpark will include a mix of for sale and rental
units, and market rate and public/low income
units. The planned number of units by type is
shown in Table 2. The total number of housing
units developed could range from 600-800; the
current program is based on an estimated 759
units.
Low income units will be developed to replace
a portion of the existing units at Westpark that

Dispersing public housing would accomplish a
number of goals, including the revitalization of
dilapidated housing and distressed communities,
creation of diverse neighborhoods, and the
promotion of housing choice.
3. Open Space and Parks
Housing Relocation Plan
More than one-third of the Westpark site (28
acres) will be devoted to various types of parks
and open space. As shown on Figure 6, open
space and parks will be distributed across the site.
Together, they express Westpark's environmental
sensitivity, its desire to enrich the health of the
community and the individual, and to establish
the character of the neighborhood. Landscaping
and preservation efforts also offer opportunities
for education. School and conservation
programs, community work parties and
stewardship opportunities will involve residents
in preservation and enhancement of their natural
environment. Native wildlife will also provide a
vital connection with the environment.
The BHA is developing a housing relocation
plan to stage and coordinate tenant relocation,.
demolition and construction. It will include
providing information and counseling to tenants
to help explain plans, timing and available choices.
In accordance with federal law, the BHA will
also offer a package of relocation options. These
may include temporary relocation on-site (in
synch with phased demolition and construction),
relocation to other BHA-owned projects, and
tenant-based vouchers.

4. Roads and Infrastructure
Roads & Pedestrian Circulation
Westpark's thoroughfare system streets,
sidewalks and pedestrian paths, shown in Figure
6 -- is a fundamental element in site design, and
will connect areas of the community with each
other and to the surrounding neighborhood. The
grid-based street design prioritizes pedestrian
circulation, while maintaining automobile access
for residents and visitors. The grid system provides
multiple paths to each home and business, and
reduces congestion by distributing traffic across
the site.
The design and dimensions of major types of
streets are addressed in Section IV of the plan,
Zoning & Development Standards. In general,
streets emphasize narrower widths n to reduce
impervious area and to slow vehicle speed -- and
use alleys to separate garages and automobile
traffic from pedestrians. Basic streets types
include:
Neighborhood Streets, which are one-lane or
two-lane roads (varying among neighborhoods)
with on-street parking. Sidewalks of varying
width are provided on both sides of the street.
These streets are lined with trees and include
landscaping between the street and the sidewalk.
Baer Boulevard (Street A), which will provide
access to the regional transportation system, is
designed as a wider, tree-lined street with two
traffic lanes, on-street parking and sidewalks on
both sides.
Alleys, will provide access to garages for parking
and for deliveries and services for Single Family
Attached, Single Family Detached, and other unit
types as indicated on the Thoroughfare Plan.
Pedestrian Paths are "green streets" which are
separated from vehicle traffic and provide
pedestrian-only connections between Westpark
neighborhoods, parks and open spaces, retail
activities and services. These paths will also
connect to the off-site regional trail system.
D. Future Changes to the Sub Area Plan
The Westpark Master Plan and Sub-Area Plan is
an emerging document, and will likely change
incrementally as the design process continues.
It will also be influenced by public comment,
environmental review, and the decisions of
elected officials. A degree of flexibility is desirable
and inherent in large-scale, phased master plans;
this flexibility provides the ability to respond to
changes in demographic, economic and market
patterns over time.
The Sub-Area Plan map reflects the conceptual
master plan for the site as of this writing. Some
proposed land use designations allow flexibility
in uses, and areas subject to this designation
could be proposed for modification in the future.
For example, it is possible that Westpark's on-site
population, ~nd development of the Oyster Bay
Neighborhood Center, could support additional
compatible retail development on the Westpark
site. The Sub-Area Plan's Mixed Use designation
permits retail/commercial as well as residential
activities. Any change to the conceptual land
use map, if proposed, would entail thorough
consideration through a public review process and
appropriate environmental analysis. Any change
would also need to be consistent with the Sub-
Area Plan's goals and development standards.
Any significant change to the Sub-Area Plan or
development regulations after they are adopted
by legislative action of the City Council would
require Planning Commission recommendation
and City Council approval.

SECTION IV -
ZONING & DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
Introduction
This section of the sub-area plan contains the
zoning and development standards that will
guide the redevelopment of Westpark and will
implement the requirements of the site's zoning
designation. The standards address the following
elements:
. Land uses/zones, including density, height,
setbacks, building coverage and impervious
surface coverage;
. General development standards;
. Building design;
. Streets, sidewalks and driveways;
. Parking;
. Landscaping;
. Parks and open space;
. Signs.
The Westpark design guidelines, included
in Section V, will work in tandem with the
development standards to achieve the plan's
vision and to assure high quality development.
The current zoning classification for the Westpark
site is Master Development (MD) [Chapter 20.80
BMC]. The MD zone is applied to sites envisioned
for large-scale planned development. These
proposals must meet a public need and provide
a community benefit, such as redeveloping
"blighted" areas or providing affordable housing
opportunities. Projects may be proposed by
public entities or public-private partnerships, and
should result in innovative development.
Proposals in the MD zone are required to prepare
a Master Development Plan (MDP), which
includes standards for development of the site,
including uses, density, setbacks, lot coverage and
heights. Other required components of an MDP,
which are addressed in these regulations, include
the following:
. an open space plan that protects natural
resources and provides recreational
opportunities;
. site edge design that is compatible with adjacent
uses and densities;
. streetscapes that include amenities, (street
trees, planting strips, benches, street lighting,
etc.) and other design features that make
streets interactive, walkable and enjoyable;
. a general landscape plan, including
preservation of significant trees; and
. adequate off-street parking, which may
modify standard requirements if a parking
study demonstrates no impact on adjacent
properties.

spaces.
(b) Locate site furnishings to maXImIze
visual surveillance of the area by residents,
pedestrians and passing vehicles to
minimize covert activities in the space and
lessen risks to public safety.
i. Site development shall be in accordance
with the standards of BMC 20.66.060 with
the following additions and revisions:
(a) General Site Design
(i) Sites shall be developed in a coordinated
manner, complementing adjacentstructures
through placement, size and mass.
(ii) Buildings shall be arranged to facilitate
plazas, courtyards, greens, and other
pedestrian use areas.
(iii) Sites shall be designed to create an
identifiable pedestrian urban character.
Methods to achieve this concept include:
(iv) Orienting buildings to front on streets,
and placing parking lots at the rear or sides
of buildings.
(v) Providing well-defined pedestrian
walkways from parking areas, public
sidewalks, and building/shop entrances
throughout the site.
(vi) Designing the parking areas to avoid
long rows of uninterrupted parking.
(vii) Designing parking areas to be partially
screened from view from adjacent streets
and building occupants while taking
security into consideration.
1. Where possible, sites shall be designed
to provide vehicle and pedestrian
connections to adjacent sites and activity
areas.
(viii) Due to the road widths in this plan,
all Village Commercial structures shall be
protected by a fire sprinkler system.
G. Development of Lots

to fit natural slopes rather than re-grading the
slope to fit a particular building or parking
lot design.
ii. Cuts and fills on a site shall be balanced
and finished grades shall not include any
retaining walls greater than six feet. Instead,
designs shall complement and take advantage
of natural topography.
iii. Sloped lots may require multileveled

and storefront windows must face onto the
primary street not the parking lot (secondary
entrances and windows are encouraged on
the facade facing rear parking).
viii. When located at block corners, buildings
shall have two primary facades (composed of
the same materials) that are oriented to the
two streets.
H. Building Orientation and Design
Elements
i. Blank walls shall not face streets. Liner
buildings with primary building facades shall
be used to screen blank walls from the street.
ii. Buildings shall generally follow the
alignment of the streets they front. However,
buildings may be set back up to 15 feet from
the front property line when this setback area
is to accommodate building entries, outdoor
cafe or other pedestrian-oriented activities
and use. The Is-foot setback may be increased
by up to 5 additional feet to accommodate
additional pedestrian-oriented space.
iii. A minimum of 80 percent of the ground
floor space of each building shall consist of
pedestrian oriented retail uses or a compatible
building use drawing people. When
applications comprising more than a single
building, including mixed use buildings, are

percent requirement may be applied to the
entire development instead of on a building-
by-building basis.
iv. Multi-level buildings with commercial,
office, or residential use are strongly
encouraged to create a more clearly-defined
street edge and to provide upper-story
activities which overlook the street and
plazas. Clearly defined and convenient access
to the second story should allow economic
viability for commercial uses and/or separate
entrances for residential uses.
v. Canopies, awnings, porches, building
overhangs and arcades are required along
at least 75 percent of building fronts facing
Arsenal and Baer Boulevard streets in the
I. Architectural Building Character

Building Setbacks
i. Frontage Occupancy
(a) Frontage occupancy is the mInImUm
amount of building face for all land uses
permitted within Westpark that is required
to be built along a building setback line.
The intent is to create a street wall that
will spatially define the streets and public
realm. The frontage occupancy requirement
increases as the setting becomes more urban
and the intended spatial definition increases.
(i) Frontage occupancy is shown by block
in Figure B-3 Frontage Occupancy Map.
(ii) Frontage occupancy requirements apply
to all floors of buildings (excluding
occupied or unoccupied space in roofs). If
an individual building is recessed from the
Building Setback Line, or omitted to
preserve a significant existing tree, that
frontage should be credited as occupied
frontage.
ii. Residential:
(a) Minimum and maximum setbacks are
established in Table A 1.
iii. Commercial/Retail:
(a) Minimum and maximum setbacks are
established in Table A 1.
iv. Encroachments at Building Setback Lines:

D.LANDSCAPESTANDARDS
Intent: In addition to the significant parks and
open space included in the Sub-Area Plan, the
Westpark site will include significant landscaping
with retained and new trees and vegetation.
Landscaping will be focused along streets to
enhance the pedestrian environment, along
the site's boundaries with arterials to provide
screening, and adjacent to the commercial area to
provide land use transitions. In some areas, such
as the retail village and the neighborhood square,
hardscape and green features will be mixed.
The overall objective oflandscaping is to preserve,
protect and enhance undisturbed areas within
Westpark. Major stands of significant trees will be
preserved in the site's park and open space system.
Individual land uses will be sited to balance the
preservation of significant trees and vegetation
with the need to accommodate intensive urban
redevelopment. Landscape design will also
encourage and promote water conservation.
General Development Standards
Landscaping shall be provided in accordance
with BMC 20.50 with the following additions
andlrevisions:
i. Landscaping shall be constructed using
the standards described below and as shown
in Figures D-l Landscape Plan and Figure
D-2 Planting Plan.
Parks and Open Space
General Requirements
The following types and amounts of parks and
open space will be provided in Westpark:
i. Active Open Space:
(a) Approximately 12 acres of land should
be allocated for active open space and could
include:
(i) 1 large park,
(ii) A dog park and
(iii) Open corridors connecting the entire
community
(iv) Play structures
(v) Open fields. Park areas will provide
for both group and small athletic activities.
ii. Passive Open Space:
(a) Approximately 4.5 acres of land should
be allocated for passive open space, with
a natural/preservation area as the central
element. A proposed park is leveraged
on these features and will create a sense of
arrival from two edges of the development
as well as a view corridor of the greater
Bremerton area.
iii. Tree Preservation Open Space:
(a) Approximately 11.5 acres of land should
be allocated for tree preservation, which will
protect a large expanse of second growth
trees and a steep slope. This large forested
area will provide an anchor to the natural
environment, a regionally sensitive context
for the, neighborhood, and a signature
identity for the community.
iv. Public Ways:
(a)A network of approximately 57,000
linear feet of sidewalks and paths should be
allocated which will create a pleasant and
convenient pedestrian environment.
Location and Design of Parks & Open Space
i. The general locations of open space are
shown on Figure B-1 Land Use Map. The
design concept and development standards
for on-site parks are described below
ii. The Summit Park will be a large, multi-
faceted green space located in the center of
the site and should to contain the following:
(a) A plaza, bicycle trails and walking
paths.
(b) Recreation and community space
including a lawn area and perennial beds.
(c) A view corridor allowing views out over
Oyster Bay and Dyes Inlet.
(d) Defined by the large existing stand of
trees and homes at its perimeter.
(e) The center of the park will be main-
tained as a mown grass recreation area with
picnicking facilities.
(f) The Plaza area in the southern portion
Jan:,~i;.l~'/ ~ 1~ .200'(
V\l E S 'TPA -R_K
will include enhanced paving, landscaping
and a combination of fixed benches and
movable furniture.
111. The Neighborhood Square located in the
southwest area of the site off Baer Boulevard
will provide a green space in the heart of the
neighborhood. This space should offer the
following amenities:
(a) A more "formal" layout that references
traditional neighborhoods.
(b) Primarily open lawn to accommodate a
variety of functions;
(c) Occasional shade trees and/or orna-
mental trees may be planted along the edges
of the open lawn.
(d) A perimeter will be defined by street
trees.
Tree and Vegetation
Preservation Requirements
1. Provide adequate protection for retained
vegetation.
ii. Identify how retained trees will be pro-
tected both during and after construction.
iii. Buildings, retaining walls, utilities and paved
surfaces must be far enough away from retained
trees to allow room for construction activities
and to assure a proper growth environment
after construction.
iv. Construction activities shall not take place
within the drip line of the tree unless extra
precautions are recommended by a certified
arborist. A tree's drip line is the most extreme
reach of its branches beyond its trunk diameter
as measured 4.5 feet above grade, whichever is
greater.
v. Provide a tree well or other form of protection
where the surrounding grade must be raised.
vi. Significant vegetation to be retained must be
protected during construction by installation
of a protective barricade. This will required
preliminary identification of the proposed
area of disturbance for staff inspection and
approved, then installation of a protective
barricade before major excavation with heavy
equipment begins.
vii. The barricade must be made of four-inch by
four-inch post with chain-link fence attached.
Fence height must be a minimum of four feet
high.
Vlll. Any tree proposed or required to be
retained and which is subsequently lost or
destroyed must be replaced with at least three
six-foot trees or one 18-foot tree or one 12-foot
tree plus one six-foot tree of the same species.
ix. Topping or trimming trees in a manner
that alters the natural symmetry of a tree is not
allowed unless necessary for safety reasons as
certified by an ISA certified arborist.
Parking Lot Design & Landscaping
Parking lots shall meet the Parking Lot Design
and Landscaping requirements ofBMC 20.48 and
20.50, with the following changes:
i. Surface parking lots shall be located behind
buildings wherever feasible.
ii. Screening with evergreen plantings shall
be provided for parking lots in the following
locations:
(a) Any parking lots visible from Kitsap Way,
SR 3, or from internal streets;
(b) Parking lots abutting residential/mixed-
use uses or zones;
(c) Landscape requirements are one plant
unit per twenty spaces with a minimum of
one island for every ten spaces;
(d) Where a tree planting island occurs,
the entire length of a bay, there shall be a
minimum of one tree planting island every
fifteen spaces and a large shade tree every
fifteen spaces in a tree planting island;
(e) Where a tree planting island occurs, the
entire length of a bay, the entire length shall
be planted with large shade trees every forty
five feet.
Additional landscaping requirements include
the following
i. Maximize privacy between residences while
encouraging community interaction;
ii. Minimize visibility of utilities and other site
necessities;

iii. Reduce and mitigate disruptions of natural
drainage patterns and contain runoff from
impervious surfaces;
iv. Provide habitat with a diversity of trees,
shrubs and ground cover;
v. Protect and enhance and maintain the dense
natural forested area;
vi. Landscaping should define outdoor living
spaces, enhance the architecture, and maintain
off-site views;
vii. Trees and shrubs, at maturity, should not
interfere with view corridors, utilities, or solar
access for adjacent properties;
viii. Trees shall be appropriately sized and
located so as to avoid blocking views from
adjacent and/or uphill residential homes and
public areas;
ix. Tree species should not require ongoing
homeowner maintenance to maintain view
covenant limitations;
x. Planting on slopes in open space and
commercial areas;
(a) 4:1 to 2:1 mass plantings of trees and
shrubs are suggested.
(b) Slopes over 2: 1 require erosion control
measure such as jute matting with ornamental
grasses or groundcovers.
xi. Neighborhood parks, squares or plazas
should be designed to reinforce the civic nature
of these spaces and provide the appropriately
scaled amenities. The design of these spaces
should vary one from another with the largest
tending toward more "natural" in appearance
and the smallest receiving a more urbane
treatment.
Plant Selection
i. Planting Materials. A general planting list
is included at the end of this section.
(a) Other plant materials may be considered
that have these characteristics and similar
maintenance requirements;
(b) Additional species and varieties may be
selected if authorized by the Westpark Design
Review Committee;
(c) Plants suitable for planting on slopes are
identified in appendix.
(d) Trees and shrubs should provide a varied
canopy for functionality. The lists reflect the
intent to emphasize evergreen species within
the landscaping plan.
(e) Scattered plantings of deciduous species
can be featured fortheir seasonal color,interest,
biodiversity, and habitat contribution.
(f) Plants should provide year round interest
- e.g., fall color, flower, foliage, branching
structure, and branch color.
(g) When used in combination with walls
or rockeries, plant materials should all be a
minimum of 80% native and/or drought
tolerant evergreen varieties.
(h) Avoid trees that tend to be shallow-rooting
and susceptible to wind and snow load.
ii. Recommendations for Slope Plants:
(a) Slope plants should be selected for their
ability to develop deep roots and thereby knit
the soil into a cohesive mass.
(b) Plants should consist of native and
adaptive species that can withstand drought
in summer as well as continually wet soil in
winter.
(c) Younger plants in the correct growing
medium establish more readily and have
a better "top to root" balance than larger
specimens; therefore the roots of younger
plants become established before the foliage
outgrows its root support.
(d) Plants smaller than 1 gallon in size are
difficult to establish without an automatic
sprinkler system and continual hand-
weeding. Appropriately sized plants should
be selected to establish quickly with the least
maintenance.
(e) Ornamental or native plants that require
extensive irrigation should not be planted
within 10 feet of the top of slope.
Irrigation
i. All irrigation systems, with the exception
of residential systems, shall be designed by a
licensed landscape architect.
ii. Irrigation on sloped areas shall be temporary
and shall be removed 24 months after
installation or after the establishment of the
landscape materials, whichever comes first.

E. SIGN STANDARDS
Landscaping
Intent: It is the intent of this chapter to promote
a quality visual environment by establishing
reasonable standards forthe size, placement, height
and maintenance of outdoor signs, graphics and
advertising. It is further intended to encourage
quality design and material composition which
create an attractive community and business
climate. Implementing these standards will assure
that signage is in harmony with building designs
and the character of the surrounding areas.
i. Freestanding signs must be landscaped
around the base of the sign.
ii. Each sign shall have a landscaped area
twice the size of the sign area. If a carved or
sandblasted wooden sign is used, landscaping
may be reduced by 50% for all grade level
landscaping, or by 75% if landscaping is
contained in a raised planter around the base
of the sign. Raised planters must be at least one
and a half (1.5) feet high. Planter and organic
materials shall be installed within 30 days of
sign installation. The landscaping, sign base or
planter shall be protected from vehicles by a six
inch high curb stop or sidewalk edge at least
three feet from the planter base.
iii. Landscaping shall be installed in the
planting season closest to the date of the
sign permit issuance. Signs installed after the
planting season shall be landscaped by no later
than the following planting season.
iv. These requirements may be waived if
the sign is located in an area that is part of an
approved overall site landscape plan.
':.;~
Signage standards shall be in accordance with
BMC 20.52 with the exceptions and modifications
contained in this section.
Color and Materials
i. Reflective materials, brilliant luminescent or
fluorescent colors shall be permitted for sign
graphics and one logo shield per sign face only
and may not be used on the background, field,
or surface to which graphics or logo shields are
applied.
ii. Materials which give the appearance of
changing color or of movement are prohibited.
Window Signs
Number & Size
i. Illuminated window signs shall conform to
the total wall sign area standards of the BMC
20.52.
ii. Non-illuminated window signs are allowed
in addition to the standards of the BMC 20.52;
provided, that they do not exceed 25% of the
nominal window size (i.e., the window size as
specified by the manufacturer).
i. Freestanding signs shall be limited to the
following number and locations:
ii. Commercial. One freestanding sign shall be
permitted on each street frontage of property
on which the business is located. Sites on a
corner of two public streets may have one
sign on the corner instead of a sign for each
frontage, subject to approval by the City of
Bremerton. Commercial properties with more
than 1,000 feet of continuous street frontage
and with more than one entrance may install
a freestanding sign at each entrance; provided,
that no single sign exceeds the maximum
sign area described under the Freestanding
Sign subsection of this section. Where there is
frontage on more than one street, each frontage
is treated independently.
iii. Residential. One freestanding neighborhood
identification sign is permitted at each entrance
to a residential neighborhood.
Freestanding Signs
i. The sign should have design features which
reflect design elements of surrounding
structures, or the sign be incorporated into
a landscaped area with large and mature
plantings which provide a backdrop to the sign
and which are at least as tall as the sign.
ii. The sign should have the characteristics of
a monument sign rather than a pole sign (e.g.,
the base of the sign support where it meets the
ground is at least as wide as the sign face).

iii. Maximum Sign Area is twenty-four square
feet for a single side or forty-eight (48) square
feet total on all sides. If a carved or sandblasted
wooden sign is used, freestanding signs may be
thirty (30) square feet for a single side or sixty
(60) square feet total on all sides.
iv. The sign must be consistent with the intent
and general scope of the city's sign code and
the Westpark design manual standards.
example, a pillar between a door and window
which is 30 inches wide may have a sign which
is 21 inches wide.
Wall Mounted Signs
i. Total Sign Area:
(a) Allowed Signage per Wall Plane. Total
allowed signage shall not exceed three percent
of the wall plane the sign is mounted to, except
that signage covering up to eight percent of a
wall plane is allowed if the wall plane conforms
to all solid/void ratio requirements specified
in the Village Commercial standards.
(b) Individual Sign Size. No single wall sign
shall exceed fifity (50) square feet.
(c) Increased Size Option. If a carved or
sandblasted wooden sign is used, the sign size
may be increased by 20% of its underlying
allowable sign area.
(d) Size Restriction. Wall signs must meet the
70% space coverage allowances described
under the surface coverage requirements in
subsection (2) of this section.
ii. Architectural Details.
(a) Signs may not cover or obscure important
architectural details of a building; they should
appear to be a secondary and complementary
feature of the building facade.
(b) Wall signs must be located within
architectural signs bands or other blank
spaces which visually frame the sign.
(c) Blank wall sections above or between
windows and doors, for example, may provide
an effective location for signage. However, to
avoid a "maxed out" appearance, signs shall
be no larger than 70% of the width or height
of the blank wall space or fascia the sign is
mounted to so as to leave reveal on all sides
of the sign and to maintain an appropriate
balance between the sign and wall. For

V-DESIGN GUIDELINES
Intent The intent of the Bremerton Housing
Authority's Master Plan for the Westpark site is
to have the community follow the principles of
traditional neighborhood design. Early in the last
century communities were much more pedestrian-
friendly, street oriented and connected. Where
in a traditional neighborhood one would see
residential and commercial uses mixed, or in
close proximity to each other, newer communities
have segregated these uses, requiring residents to
use their automobiles to do anything outside of
their homes. The goal at Westpark is to encourage
resident interaction by making the streets and
buildings as pedestrian oriented as possible, and
to provide mixed uses that allow residents to walk
down the street to purchase some basic needs,
rather than leaving the community and driving to
a retail destination every time.
The look and feel of the community should
enhance the pedestrian experience, and the design
concept of a varied and interesting village that has
evolved and built up over time is a design objective.
Large buildings should be designed such that their
facades have the appearance of several smaller
buildings, using varied colors and materials, to
reduce their apparent scale. Houses and individual
townhouse units should be designed to appear as
unique buildings grouped together, rather than
repetitions of the same fac;ade.
Commercial and retail buildings should enhance
the window shopping experience, and create a
sense of liveliness and quality through the use of
varying materials, colors, signage and awnings.
Commercial streets should contribute to this
effect with enhanced paving materials, and the
use of street trees, street furnishings and lighting.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings should also
appear to be composed of smaller buildings added
over time, and have a timeless character, and a
northwestern look and feel.
This document is intended to act as an extension of
Section IV Zoning and Development Standards.
The Design Standards for the Westpark site are
divided into the following topics:
A. General Site Layout and Building Orientation
B. Facades
C. Entries
D. Roofs
E. Windows
F. Walls
G. Colonnades, Arcades, Loggias
H. Columns
I. Balconies
J. Colors
K. Materials
L. Lead walks
M.Walls, Hedges & Fences
N. Landscape Design
O. Amenities
A. General Site Layout and Building
Orientation:
1. Anticipated building mix and site layouts
within Westpark are outlined in Figures A-I
andA-2.
2. Primary Building Facades should be oriented
to the street. On corner lots, both street facades
should use the primary fac;ade materials and
fenestration types.
3. Buildings should be located at block corners.
It is not desirable that any voids (what is left
after subtracting the minimum frontage
occupancy) be located at block corners.
4. Buildings shall meet the Build-to-Line and
minimum frontage occupancy requirements
indicated in the Zoning and Development
Standards.
5. Buildings should generally be parallel to the
right-of-way line except that special exceptions
are allowed for topographic conditions or
special urban design considerations.

The diagram and chart on this page establish recommended building types for each individual block within
the overall Westpark site. Where more than one building type is recommended on a block, a developer
will have the flexibility to propose a layout of their choosing, provided it meets the plan's development
standards and design guidelines.
Types: The adjacent diagram and chart on this page depict the range of building types recommended in
each block.
Building Type Mix: A mix of building types is recommended throughout the Westpark site.

Planning Commission Findings of Fact
Westpark Sub Area Plan
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
OF THE CITY OF BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION
Summary - Proposal to include the West Park Sub Area Plan in the Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Code by amendment. The Zoning Code will add reference in BMC
20.80.080 to activate the West Park Sub-Area Plan as development regulations for the
area.
I. FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Project Description
West Park is an eighty-six (86) acre site in West Bremerton bounded by Kitsap
Way to the north, Oyster Bay Road to the east, and State Route 3 to the west. The
existing West Park Public Housing community was built in 1941 and is owned and
operated by the Bremerton Housing Authority (BHA). The site is designated in the
2004 Comprehensive Plan as a Public Sector Redevelopment Site (PSRS). The
Bremerton Housing Authority is seeking to redevelop the site as a livable, mixed
income, mixed use, pedestrian oriented traditional neighborhood, that provides 190
housing units for BHA-qualified low income residents. It creates public open spaces,
enhances and maintains view corridors and landscaping, and develops retail and
commercial uses to provide for some everyday shopping needs for residents. The
design team has worked with the City to prepare the proposed West Park Sub Area
Plan. The Plan was submitted to the City on October 1 ih, 2006 and presented to the
Planning Commission during a workshop at that time. The next step in the Sub Area
Plan process is for the Planning Commission to review the Plan and recommend to City
Council the adoption of amendments to the comprehensive plan and zoning code.
2. Procedural History
An extensive public participation process was executed by the West Park Design Team
during the Spring, Summer and Fall of 2006. Public participation is thoroughly
summarized on pages 8 - 11 of the Sub Area Plan. Meetings are listed below.
Four Public Community Meetings
2.1 March 16, 2006.
2.2 May 12, 2006.
2.3 June 22,2006. (EIS scoping included.)
2.4 September 14, 2006.
Week Long Design Charrette
The design team held a week long charrette during which numerous groups,
agencies, segments of the public and government officials were invited to participate
during specific times. The entirety of the Charrette was open to the public.
2.5 May 8 - 12, 2006.
Bremerton Planning Commission
2.6 Workshop: October 17,2006.
2.7 Hearing: November 21, 2006.
3. Public Comment
Numerous individuals, groups, and agencies provided comments at public
workshops, community meetings, and during the week long design Charrette.
Comments received were considered and used to develop the draft plan that was
submitted to the City on October 17, 2006. Record of participants in community
meetings is provided in Attachment V to the Planning Commission Staff Report. A
general summary of public participation is well documented on pages 9-11 of the
Sub Area Plan.
4. SEPA Determination and Environmental Review
The West Park Sub Area Plan is a non-project action considering general planning level
items and establishing land use regulations. As a non-project action, it is appropriate
for the West Park Sub Area Plan to be considered separately from the EIS evaluation of
the West Park site's project level redevelopment. Environmental review for the Sub
Area Plan is considered in an addendum to the Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) prepared with the 2004 Bremerton Comprehensive Plan.
The SEIS for the City's Comprehensive Plan Update generally discussed the
environmental impacts associated with redevelopment of West Park. The SEIS
addendum for the Sub Area Plan will add information about impacts, which do not
significantly change the analysis of impacts or alternatives in the existing SEIS
document on the Comprehensive Plan. This is entirely appropriate and logical since the
Sub Area Plan is a more detailed and specific planning effort that fits within the
established framework of the Comprehensive Plan.
Notice and publication of a Determination of Significance (OS) coupled with Notice of
Adoption of the existing EIS are pending at the time of the Planning Commission's
consideration of this Sub Area Plan.
Detailed technical review of project level impacts such as stormwater discharge and site
grading will be completed before any development project is permitted. Staff and the
public will have an opportunity to review and comment on the EIS to ensure that all
project level impacts are evaluated with scrutiny before the approval of a preliminary
2
plat for the project. Additional mitigation measures may result based on the EIS level
review of project impacts.
5. Comprehensive Plan Consistency
Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan shall meet the decision criteria outlined in
BMC 21.06.080. The Planning Commission may recommend, and the City Council may
adopt or adopt with modifications, an amendment to the comprehensive plan if the
criteria outlined below are met. The proposal is to add the West Park Sub Area Plan to
the Bremerton Comprehensive Plans as an amendment, providing more specific and
detailed planning for the area.
5. 1 BMC 21.06. 080(A) allows amendments to the Comprehensive Plan if there is an
obvious technical error.- Not applicable to this project.
5.2 BMC 21.06.080(B) allows amendments to the Comprehensive Plan if the
following criteria have been met.
5.2 (1) The amendment is consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA):
This amendment is consistent with the GMA by meeting the criteria of the
Comprehensive Plan which was created to achieve the 13 goals of the GMA.
The Sub-Area Plan meets the housing goal by providing a mixed use, mixed
income dense housing stock. It meets the open space and recreation goal by
creating green streets, and an extensive park system. It will reduce sprawl and
promote urban growth by creating a dense mixed use environment.
5.2 (2) The amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan or other goals
or policies of the City:
The West Park Sub Area Plan is consistent with page 84 of the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designating the site as a Public Sector
Redevelopment Site (PSRS), and identifying the site as a location where a
"specific area plan" should be developed. In the Land Use Element, page LU-24,
the Comp Plan describes the need to create this specific area plan. Various
Comprehensive Plan housing goals including H1 B, H2, H2B, H3, H3G, H5, H6,
H8 and H9 are satisfied by the Westpark Sub Area Plan. The creation of the Sub
Area Plan for West Park therefore implements the vision and goals of the
Comprehensive Plan. Pages 5 - 11 of the Sub Area Plan document additional
specific goals and policies of the 2004 Bremerton Comprehensive Plan that are
met by this proposal for Westpark.
5.2 (3) If the amendment was reviewed but not adopted as a part of a previous
proposal, circumstances related to the proposed amendment have significantly
changed, or the needs of the City have changed, which support an amendment;
"
.)
This amendment supplements and implements the Comprehensive Plan.
It is based on the direction of the Comprehensive Plan to develop specific area
plans for PSRS sites, and impacts are within the thresholds of the 2004
Comprehensive Plan evaluation.
5.2 (4) The amendment is compatible with existing or planned land uses and the
surrounding development pattern;
The West Park Sub Area Plan is compatible with adopted Public Sector
Redevelopment Site land use and the surrounding development pattern.
5.2 (5) The amendment will not adversely affect the City's ability to provide urban
services at the planned level of service and bears a reasonable relationship to
benefitting the public health, safety and welfare.
The West Park Sub Area Plan will not adversely affect the City's ability to
provide urban services at the planned level of service. The amendment will
benefit the public health, safety and welfare by achieving numerous City goals in
and policies, especially in the areas of Community Character (CC) and Land Use
(LU), by promoting vibrant, cohesive neighborhoods, with an increase in rates of
homeownership.
6. Amendment to the Zoning Code
An amendment to the Zoning Code, BMC 20.80.080 Master Development, is proposed
to accompany adoption of the West Park Sub Area Plan. This amendment adds a
reference to the Ordinance adopting the Sub Area Plan, thereby activating the
development standards contained in the Plan as the zoning for the site.
Zoning code text amendments shall meet the decision criteria outlined in BMC
20.18.020 (d). The Planning Commission may recommend, and the City Council may
adopt or adopt with modifications, an amendment to the zoning code text if the criteria
outlined below are met.
5.3(1) 20.18.020 allows amendments to the Zoning Code if it is consistent with the
goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
See discussion in 5.2 above for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, and
pages 5 - 11 of the Sub Area Plan. The West Park Sub Area Plan is fully
consistent with the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan.
5.3(2) 20. 18.020 allows amendments to the Zoning Code if it does not conflict with
other City, state and federal codes, regulations and ordinances.
The West Park Sub Area plan does not conflict with any other regulations.

II. CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Based on the findings above, the Planning Commission concludes that The West Park
Sub Area Plan has met the requirements for 1) amendment to the Comprehensive Plan
and 2) text amendments to the zoning code as detailed in BMC 20.18.020. Therefore
the Commission recommends the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to include
the West Park Sub Area Plan and an amendment to the zoning code text in BMC
20.80.080 (a) to include the Ordinance number of the West Park Sub Area Plan.

Adam Brockus, 1146 Perry Avenue: "Some property is up for proposal by the City-
this is the reservoir lid # 14, I believe - located at East I ih Street and Ironsides and if you
may have looked in the paper, some neighbors have suggested making a Local
Improvement District to buy it and then elect to tax themselves to turn it into a park and
then put it back to the City. Looking into the laws about Local Improvement Districts,
they all receive Planning Commission approval and also a hearing and so I just wanted to
inform you and give you a heads up about that. We don't know if they'll have enough
signatures by December 4th but just in case it happens, wanted to keep you in touch.
Kind of why one of their concerns also that doesn't happen was when the sale was done,
they're worried about homes which may not look with the character of the neighborhood
that there is and there really are no real things that the City - well, there are things but
really nothing that the City Council will do to hold a private landholder to for
architecture. I will say, as a council member, I am open to any suggestions thit may
come from your commission or from you itself, that may be able for neighbors to take
that in mind not direct any possible developers directly, but more or less be able to air
their concerns and make sure that they're listened to. Thank you very much. Any
questions?"
Commissioner Cockburn asked if there were any further comments from citizens.
Seeing none, he closed this portion of the meeting.
B. Public Hearin2: Geoff Wentlandt, City Planner gave a staff report of the West Park
sub-area plan. He reviewed the plan that had been distributed to the commissioners prior
to this meeting as well as the proposed amendments (included in the meeting file).
Chairman Cockburn opened the Public Hearing and asked if there were any comments
from citizens.
Ted Johnson, Marathon Development, 409 Pacific Avenue, Bremerton: "Marathon
is the lead development consultant for the Bremerton Housing Authority. We've been
charged with leading the redevelopment effort and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to
have finally made it to this particular spot in our journey as we endeavor to redevelop
West Park. This is a significant milestone in the redevelopment of this particular parcel
and with your concurrence, the staff recommendation, and the upcoming approval by
Council in January, we would expect to see some actual work starting on site late summer
or early fall of next year. We have a number of folks that will be giving public testimony
today and all of us will be available, certainly, after for any additional questions. So,
again, I thank you very much and we look forward to any comments that you may have."
Kathryn Jerkovich, Marathon Development, 409 Pacific Avenue, Bremerton: "I just
would like to say that there's been a tremendous amount of effort put forth by the design
team as well as everyone that has participated in this process to get us to where we are
today. As Geoff indicated, we've had several community meetings, stakeholder
meetings, and the design charrette. We have, to date, held over one hundred meetings of
significance with various different groups as well as the public. And the whole goal of
the sub-area plan that is before you today was to create a community there at West Park
that everyone will be happy with and will be proud of as well. I believe that there has
been a lot of thought put into the plan. We've listened to the public and the stakeholders;
Planning Commission Meeting
November 21,2006
Page 2 of9
we've worked very diligently with city staff and others to create a plan that we think will
work very well for the West Park project. So, with that, I would just like to encourage
you to support the plan and recommend approval to City Council. Thank you."
Richard Weinman, 9350 SE 68th Street, Mercer Island: "I'd just like to, and I think
Geoff did a very able job of identifying the consistency of the sub-area plan with the
policies in the City's Comprehensive Plan, and that has been a very conscious goal and
driver of the planning efforts that have been performed for the site. We really started, as
well as looking closely at the physical constraints of the site and opportunities of the site
really began by looking closely at the City's Comprehensive Plan and what it said should
happen on this site. As Geoff mentioned, it is designated as a Public Sector
Redevelopment site; it has been designated as 'blighted' by the City and redevelopment
is intended to provide public benefits, in this case, in the form of a de-concentration of
low-income housing and an achievement of high quality development on the site, and a
removal of the existing blight. The sub-area plan has also been very conscious of the
proximity of the West Park site to the designated Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center. And
uses on the West Park site have been planned to be compatible with and to develop in
conjunction with the Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center over time. The population of the
West Park site will provide support for the village retail that's planned on the West Park
site in the more intensive commercial development that currently occurs and will
continue to redevelop along Kitsap Way. The sub-area plan has, as I said, very
consciously tried to integrate some of the essential themes of Shaping Bremerton and
Comprehensive Plan policies, which include developing a high quality and distinctive
center, developing quality housing, insuring that the environment of the site is carefully
managed, and integrating urban design into redevelopment. And some other members of
the team will" [turned away from the microphone; no longer audible.]
Deanna Sihon, 22906 NE 15th PI., Sammamish, Washington: "I am with New Home
Trends. I'm a Principal and Director of Research and Consulting there. We provide
consulting and data to people that are either in, or affected by the real estate industry.
The company has been in business for over twenty-five years. We've served national as
well local builders. We've worked on a number of redevelopment projects, including
High Point, Rainier Vista. We were one of the main consultants on Issaquah Highlands;
we've worked over here with Lyle Homes, The 400, just to name a few. Our list of clients
is huge. It's been a pleasure to work on this project. Personally, I just believe so much in
the redevelopment projects and what they do for communities. I've seen that in Rainier
Vista, we're starting to see it up at High Point. It changes the demographics of a
community; it changes the whole feel and life of a community, and it kind of gives it a
rebirth. It allows the low-income families living those communities to be integrated into
society in a more effective manner and raise their self esteem and whatnot. As far as the
housing market goes, there's some things that have been happening: in the last ten years,
the majority of jobs has stayed in King County, and looking forward ten years with our
job growth which that will continue to happen, fifty-percent of those jobs will continue to
stay in King County. The housing is not, and much of that is due to the affordability.
Today in King County, the median price of a new home is upwards of $700,000.00.
When you look at income levels, their just - many people that you talk to today could not
afford to live in the home, purchase the home that they're in today. And so what that's
doing, it's creating a demand, kind of a ripple effect, and so we've seen that shift kind of
Planning Commission Meeting
November 21, 2006
Page 3 of9
move to Pierce and Snohomish County over the past ten years. And now it's even moving
further out and Kitsap County is being greatly affected by that. With the bridge, South
Kitsap County, seeing tremendous growth out there. When you look at Kitsap County as
a whole, you've got Bainbridge Island which is kind of its own entity, and you've got
North Kitsap, Central Kitsap, and South - Central Kitsap is where more of the affordable
product is. When we looked at the demographics for this project, we designed product
that would fit the demographics and allow people making the income levels here which is
fifty to seventy-five thousand, to afford the product. Right now, our product is priced at
about, from $150,000.00 to $400,000.00. When you look at the future - I'm done. [time
was up] Thank you so much, and I just can't say enough good things about the project
and I hope you [inaudible]."
Roland Jones, GV A Kidder Mathews, 1905 Dumas Circle NE, Tacoma: "I've got
some materials that are being passed out to you that you can reference for the
examination of what the size of retail might be considered at this location. My experience
is: prior to 1975, I was the real estate department of Weisfield Jewelers and Valu-marts,
which are all Fred Myers, and I've been a commission real estate broker since then. The
last fourteen years, I've represented Barnes & Noble in four states. I represent, currently,
I still represent them, Ace Hardware in four states; I represented Winco Foods in a
number of transactions, Romano's Macaroni Grill. I was part of the initial roll-out of
Coldwater Creek in numerous states, CompUSA, did' the Fryes Electronics in Renton,
and I've done five Gene Juarez salons, thirteen Pier 1 Imports, Signature Theaters for
Kemper Freeman in the Lincoln Square, and I have consulted for Kemper Development
and also Westfield shopping centers and I've worked with a number of the regional
shopping centers' transactions. The information that you're receiving is demographic
information, and there's one that, on the cover, has little red circles - those are one-and-a-
half, three, and five mile radiuses shown from the site, and then the demographics for
those radiuses are contained in there. For a neighborhood shopping center, the one-and-a-
half miles are applicable, and this shows that there's sixteen thousand in that population,
twenty per cent of them are below the poverty level. The median annual household
income is $36,800.00 which is below most states. There are only 1,600 college graduates
and only 3,000 home owners. That's why an Ace Hardware would not go in this even
though they're a neighborhood center. Now, I've also done some drive times. You see
that with the demographics there, for your later analysis of this, you look at the large 11 x
17 of that is there. It shows how the drive times are affected if this was a community
shopping center. It would cannibalize the sales of shopping centers that are already
existing in those markets where you see those big retailers, so I don't see this as a
community shopping center site only to serve the neighborhood that is shown there."
Bob Guyt, Rice Fergus Miller, 262 - 4th Street, Bremerton: "I wanted to talk to you
real briefly about the design intent for the project. I was the Project Manager of the
design team. As Roland had said, the commercial of this project was a large portion of
the design process. In the course of going through the market research that he provided to
us, we came up with a model that we believe is best for this site as well as best for tying
in to the Comprehensive Plan for the City. In the overall scheme, which ties into that
retail sizing, we wanted this to be an eminently livable, walkable community. We want to
have mixed uses, we want the pedestrian to be placed above the automobile. Though, in
looking through the sub-area plan, you'll see a number of goals, the way that we laid out
Planning Commission Meeting
November 21,2006
Page 4 0[9
the streets, all of those work together to get the automobile back into the alleys, to put the
pedestrians up at the front, and to have each of the housing units have porches and other
elements that are going to allow the residents of West Park to interact. The desire of the
retail component is to enhance and to become an amenity of the housing component and
to allow the people that live there to be able [inaudible] coffee, drop off their dry
cleaning, have a bite to eat; not so much to be [inaudible] the larger community, but to
enhance the West Park community, and thus become an addition to rather than a
competitor to the Oyster Bay Neighborhood. The overall housing scheme and the mixed-
use themes that we have applied to this is to create a connected community. Our retail
[inaudible] residents blended together where it's a place where you feel comfortable
strolling around, a place where you don't feel worried about your kids, and the overall
structure of the streets and the way the traffic flows through there is designed to spread
the traffic so that there are no congested streets, no high traffic areas. And so that, again,
that theme of connectedness is carried through. That's a brief overview of the design
intent that we brought into the project and, again, we hope that you'll recommend
approval. [Inaudible]. Thank you."
Steve Rice, Rice Fergus Miller, 262 - 4th Street, Bremerton: "As a leader of the design
team for this project, I'd like to leave you with just one other thought, a different
perspective, perhaps. When I started practice in this town, people were leaving downtown
and the strip corridors that had been developed principally in East Bremerton along
Wheaton Way and to some extent what we have out Kitsap Way in West Bremerton,
these areas were beginning to deteriorate as well. After a dozen years or fifteen years the
planning administrators in this city adopted a centers concept and I want to salute the
City for doing that and I want to tell you why I think the West Park Master Plan
consciously supports that centers concept. As has been already said, we are designing a
project which we believe to complimentary to the Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center that
is established in the City Comprehensive Plan, not a competitor to it. If you simply look
at East Bremerton and the hopscotch variety of development that has taken place there
over the decades, it's left us with a string of empty buildings that eventually become
filled with discount stores. As a Bremerton resident, I would personally not like to see
that happen on the West side; you can point at the beginnings of it at 6th and Montgomery
and it's likely to continue if we continue to let this hopscotch commercial development
take place. I think we've been very conscious about the need to support the residents, to
support the neighborhood center at Oyster Bay by providing it with more rooftops of
mixed income residents. I think this will be a model neighborhood for Bremerton, not
just on the west side, but throughout our city. I'm looking forward to seeing West
Bremerton strengthen as a result of this project and not weaken. This is a direct intent of
the design team and for that reason, among many others, I ask for your support for the
plan tonight. Thank you."
Damon McAlister, Parametrix, 4660 Kitsap Way: "I am the lead civil
engineer/project manager on this project. We are really excited to be part of this project
team, primarily because of the commitment we have to the community for development
projects and also that we've been active within the community, doing business in Kitsap
County and City of Bremerton for over twenty years. We are, as Bob Guyt had
mentioned, we work closely with the project team for developing schemes for how we
can compliment a density that we're trying to achieve for this project with roads that are
Planning Commission Meeting
November 21, 2006
Page 5 of9
safe for pedestrians, as well as for emergency access. And also with the topography of
that site being so significant with high elevations leading down to Oyster Bay, that
created a lot of challenges for on the grading side, not only for balancing the site but also
for the roadways, for accessibility, as well as having the density that we're trying to
achieve with the units. As part of that, we've also tried to incorporate environmental
components to that such as elements of storm water for low-impact design, bio-swales,
and other water [inaudible] features to improve the run off from the site that's going off
to three drainage areas: Oyster Bay, Sinclair Inlet, and Ostrich Bay. So we've worked
with Paul Wandling and the city to come up with those schemes for the water quality and
the preliminary storm water report and also, given the impacts of how the traffic that is
going to be generated from the residents and the commercial area and how that's going to
be impacting the [inaudible]. So, as part of the preliminary master plan, our role was
looking at all those simple elements that are needed to support the infrastructure for the
site. We're anxious to be moving forward on to the other elements with the preliminary
plat and the design and construction administration for the phases as we proceed with this
project. Again, we are really excited, as Parametrix being a local firm, on seeing this
successful and watching it grow across the street. Thank you."
Kurt Wiest, Bremerton Housing Authority, 110 Russell Road: "I'm a relative
latecomer to the West Park redevelopment project; I've only been with the Housing
Authority for about a month and a half now. But I just wanted to endorse the plan that
has been presented to you. I know that the design team and all those that have been
involved with development of the sub-area plan; they're quality individuals and quality
firms. My charge and my responsibility is to ensure, ultimately, that the residents of
West Park will be well served by redevelopment of the development, and I believe that
that is going to happen because of the thought and the public process that has gone
through in developing the sub-area plan. I would encourage you, your support of the sub-
area plan and would hope you would recommend approval by the City Council as well.
Thank you."
Richard Nerf, 1600 Madrona Point Drive, Bremerton: "I want to say that I think this
document before you fairly represents what we did in the charrette last May. I took part
to a large extent there; I was very impressed by the professionalism of the design team,
by the transparency of their interactions with officials, with agency staff, with citizens,
with residents of West Park. I was impressed with the skill at which they took all the
requirements, the character of the site, and brought up a plan which is in no way a
assembly of standard items. It was very well crafted to the situation in which they found
themselves. I heartily approve 99.9% of what is there. My one concern, or at least my
major concern, is that there is a paragraph or two that talks about flexibility and where
they say what future changes to the sub-area plan might look like. And so when you're
changing something that is so tightly integrated as this, that's of great concern. The
example that is given of a possible change that is of a changing from village commercial
and expanding that into what is already on the land use map indicated as Mixed Use, that
sort of change, of course, is a reasonable thing to do; a response to change is in the
situation. But if it comes out to something more substantial than that, a large increase in
the area of commercial or a change in the intensity of the commercial, I would think that
you would need to go back and go through a substantial part of this planning process
again. That you could not simply come in, have a hearing or two, and say, 'Oh, never
Planning Commission Meeting
November 21,2006
Page 6 of9
mind about this document, which has been around for six months; we're going to change
it.' So, that's my one concern. Otherwise, I heartily recommend the approval of the
document as it is. Thank you."
Chairman Cockburn asked for any further comments on this item. Seeing none, he
closed this portion of the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Kosusko asked how the design team would deal with traffic noise from
the freeway affecting the residents of West Park. Richard Weinman said that was
unknown at this time how they would accomplish it but would adhere to HUD standards
of acceptable noise levels. He gave examples of other developments and how they
mitigated outside noise. Mr. Weinman also noted that further analysis would be
conducted on this item.
Commissioner Kosusko asked for more detail regarding how a walkable community is
to be achieved given the topography of the site. Bob Guyt, (RFM) explained that the
design intent was to smooth out some of the slopes to encourage residential structures and
walkability while retaining as many of the trees as they could. Mr. Guyt added to the
comments regarding noise; he explained that berming would be used along the highway
to reduce noise levels as well as using some of the higher density housing units, a parking
structure, and trees as buffers. The development's park will be on some of the steepest
topography of the site. Commissioner Kosusko expressed concern for the slopes in
relation to the structures. Mr. Guyt assured the Commission that the design team was
sensitive to the topography and would not be following the California model of an
obviously terraced development.
Commissioner Kosusko asked how storm water was to be managed on the site to protect
nearby bodies of water. Damon McAllister (Parametrix) acknowledged that the site
posed a challenge but some natural elements could be incorporated to provide water
quality features. Parametrix will work with Fish & Wildlife to remove an existing outfall
at Oyster Bay and replace it with something that has a lower impact to the site, will look
better than what is currently in place, and will be more environmentally friendly.
Commissioner Streissguth asked for clarity regarding the flexibility of the sub-area plan
and if the flexibility was tied to future market conditions. Ted Johnson, (Marathon
Development) agreed and acknowledged that market conditions will change over time.
Commissioner Streissguth asked staff how the flexibility would be administered if the
amendment was not adopted. Geoff explained that staff would treat the item as a
legislative action or rezone and it would go through the same process as a Comprehensive
Plan amendment.
Commissioner Kosusko asked why some items listed under conditional uses did not
migrate to the amended list. Geoff explained that staff tried to get the conditional uses
into the permitted uses with criteria, or the use had been determined to be unwanted 'in
that zone, combine with other uses, or listed in another category.
Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf asked for clarification on why check cashing services
had been listed as a prohibited use. Geoff said this is an item that is still being discussed
Planning Commission Meeting
November 21,2006
Page 70f9
with the City's Legal department. Staff should have an answer before this item IS
brought before City Council.
Regarding the scale and magnitude of the commercial component, Commissioner
Streissguth inquired if there had been staff discussion. Staff encourages the Commission
to make findings on this item to give specific direction to City Council. Commissioner
Streissguth asked the design team to address the different models of the commercial
component of the development. Richard Weinman explained that the project specific
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will address the five acre and the 12.5 acre retail
center included in the sub-area plan. Chairman Cockburn commented that the numbers
presented did not indicate the local income could support a larger, higher end retail
center; Mr. Weinman agreed.
Commissioner Mosiman asked where the information for income projections came
from. Mr. Weinman said they were standard numbers provided by a demographics
service. The numbers are based on the projected occupancy of the West Park area.
Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf wanted to know more about private alley maintenance.
Kathryn Jerkovich (Marathon Development) explained that the streets and alleys will
be owned by the City of Bremerton. Geoff asked to have the plan reflect that ownership.
Commissioner Kosusko asked if there was additional public space provided for the
higher density areas. [Bob Guyt (RFM) responded but his answer was not audible.
Notes taken reflect that those types of public spaces are not shown on the final design and
it's anticipated that a design review board would oversee that aspect of the project.]
Chairman Cockburn asked if the open spaces were owned and maintained by the
Bremerton Housing Authority. Kathryn Jerkovich said they were.
Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf wanted to know how drive through facilities within the
commercial component would be compatible with a pedestrian oriented community.
Kathryn Jerkovich explained the need for one or two drive through facilities located at
the back of the building(s); Kitsap Credit Union is one such facility that showed interest
in opening a full-service branch in West Park.
Andrea Spencer, Director of Community Development, reviewed additional
amendments to be included: Amendment 14, direct staff to confirm with the City
Attorney that the prohibited uses are consistent with what we're able to do; Amendment
15, confirm that all of the city alley ownership references are corrected in the plan.
(These additional amendments are referred to as "the green sheet".)
A motion was made by Commissioner Kennedy and seconded by Commissioner
Friedberg-Nerf to recommend to City Council an amendment to the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan to add the WestPark Sub-area zone plan with revisions per
Attachment II as amended and an amendment to the proposed Title 20 Zoning Code
Chapter 20.80 to activate the development regulations of the WestPark Sub-area
Plan per Attachment III and the green sheet.

Discussion
Significant trees and vegetated areas will be preserved during project
construction, but measures should be included to ensure these features
are protected in perpetuity. Future purchasers of property should be
aware that si nificant trees and ve etation are rotected.
In one or more locations there is reference to a Project Review Committee
PRC.
The Firs is a senior housing complex within the Residential High Density
designation that will remain.
The Table arid the Figure do not have fully consistent height limits for the
same locations. The relationship between the two sets of regulations is
not clear.
Language discusses flexibility, but it should be clear thci the land use and
zoning designation adopted per the Sub Area Plan are laws that must be
adhered to as written.

"Due to the road widths proposed in this plan, all Village Commercial structures Commercial (though it is included for the other zones.) It was initially omitted

anyway. However since some potential structures would not be required to
sprinkler under current fire codes the language is added.

(n) Stand alone parking structures
Staff Report to the Planning Commission
These amendments to the Village Commercial standards are to remove the
Conditional Uses section. Including a Conditional Uses section would require a
different type of permit: a Conditional Use Permit. Conditional Use permits are a
tool normally reserved for uses that might have adverse impacts - so another
level of review is required. Since this is a sub area plan the impacts of most uses
can be anticipated, so staff recommends not including Conditional Uses. Instead,
the uses are listed as permitted uses subject to conditions where there is concern
related to impacts.
