R:\Legal\Legal\Ordinances\Finance\BMC 2.14 Investment Committee. doc 3 Investment Committee Memorandum To: City Council Mayor Cary Bozeman From: Cathy Johnson, Finance Officer Re: Investment Committee Date: September 18, 2007 Chapter 2.14 of the BMC was last updated in September 1987 and created an investment committee composed of the Mayor, Administrative Services Director, City Treasurer and two City Council members as determined by the City Council. The committee is authorized on behalf of the City to invest all monies in the City Treasury that are in excess of current City needs. The committee recommended, and the Council adopted, an investment policy that set the guidelines by which the City Treasurer invests funds in excess of current needs. The City Treasurer is directed to report to the City Investment Committee, monthly, all investment transactions. As a result of my review of BMC 2.14 I have two recommended changes: . In order to return to the level of oversight by the investment that is intended by RCW 35.39.032 and BMC 2.14 it is my recommendation that the City Council Finance committee serve as the City Council representatives on the Investment Committee along with the Director of Financial Services and City Treasurer. The chair of the Finance Committee would also serve as chair of the Investment committee. In my tenure as City Treasurer the investment committee has not been active although I continue to use the Investment Policy as adopted by the committee and City Council to guide investment decisions. Also due to reorganization of the Financial Services department the Administrative Services Director has been replaced by the Director of Financial Services. The Finance committee currently meets monthly to discuss the financial activities of the City which could reasonably include the investment of City funds. . Modify the requirement of Section 2.14.050 (a) to replace the annual presentation of an investment plan and a forecast of anticipated yields for the ensuing year with an estimate of annual investment earnings as part of the propose budget for the ensuing year. A requirement to predict future market earnings is contradictory to the stated purpose of the investment of excess cash with primary goals of safety and liquidity ahead of return. This requirement could in fact lead to an emphasis on returns at the sacrifice of safety in order to meet the predicted returns. A more appropriate performance measure is the measurement of returns against an established market benchmark. Changes to the existing benchmarks will be recommended in the updates to the Investment Policy as presented in a separate action for Council's consideration. Financial Services currently reports the status of all investments held by the City monthly as part of the Monthly Budget Status report as well as quarterly as part of the Quarterly report to the Mayor and City Council. That practice would continue. The ordinance also includes other minor changes in addition to the above that are housekeeping in nature or serve to add clarification to the existing language.

POLICY STATEMENT: It is the policy of the City of Bremerton to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the highest investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow demands on the Treasury and conforming to all Washington statutes governing the investment of public funds. 2. SCOPE: This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the City. These funds are accounted for in the City's Annual Financial Report and include: Funds: General Fund Special Revenue Funds Debt Service Fund Capital Project Funds Enterprise Funds Internal Service Funds Trust and Agency Funds Any new fund created by Council 3. PRUDENCE: Investments shall be made with judgment and care - under circumstances then prevailing - which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived. The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent person" and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with this policy and written procedures and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments. 4. OBJECTIVE: The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City's investment activities shall be: SAFETY: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City. Investments of the City of Bremerton shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, diversification is required in order that potential losses on individual securities do not exceed the income generated from the remainder of the portfolio. LIQUIDITY: The City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated. RETURN ON INVESTMENT: The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, consistent with the City's investment risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio. In addition to the primary objectives, it is a requirement that City investments will be in compliance with all statutes governing the investment of public funds in the State of Washington. 5. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY: Management responsibility for the investment program is hereby delegated to the City Treasurer, who shall establish written procedures for the operation of the investment program, consistent with this investment policy. The City Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials. 6. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the Mayor any material tinancial interests in financial institutions that conduct business within this jurisdiction, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City's portfolio. Employees and officers shall subordinate their personal investment transactions to those of the City of Bremerton, particularly with regard to the time of purchases and sales. 7. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS: The City Treasurer will maintain a list of financial institutions as required by the Public Deposit Commission, authorized to provide investment services (RCW 39.58.080). In addition, a list will also be maintained of approved security broker/dealers, who maintain an office in the State of Washington. These may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange Commission Rule 15C-31 (uniform net capital rule). No public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depository in the State of Washington. If an advisor transacts trades on behalf on the City, the advisor's approved dealer list is acceptable. The advisor's list of dealer relationships must be provided to and preapproved by the City and a copy kept on file in the City's records. 8. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS: All municipal corporations in Washington State, including the City of Bremerton, are empowered by RCW 35.39.30 to invest idle cash in the specified types of securities. The following list includes allowed securities most likely to be contained in the City's core portfolio Investment deposits, including certificates of deposit, with qualified public depositories as defined in Chapter 39.58 RCW. Certificates, notes, or bonds of the United States, or other obligations of the United States or its agencies, or of any corporation wholly owned by the government of the United States. Obligations of government-sponsored corporations which are eligible as collateral for advances to member banks as determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Banker's acceptances purchased on the secondary market. Repurchase agreements for securities listed in 2, 3, and 4 above, provided that the transaction is structured so that the City of Bremerton obtains control over the underlying securities and a Master Repurchase Agreement has been signedawith the bank or dealer. 9. INVESTMENT POOLS/MUTUAL FUNDS: The City is allowed to invest in the Washington State Local Government Investment Pool. The City is restricted to invest in mutual funds by State Statute, with the exception of funds that are subject to arbitrage provisions of section 148 of the federal internal revenue code. 10. COLLA TERALIZA nON: The City does not actively invest in repurchase agreements for short term investments. However, if a repurchase agreement is utilized, collateralization is required. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be (102%) of market value of principal and accrued interest. Collateral shall be limited to Treasury and Government Sponsored Enterprise Agency securities only, with a maximum maturity of three years. Collateral will always be held by an independent third party with whom the entity has a current custodial agreement. A clearly marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied to the entity and retained. 11. SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY: All security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by the City of Bremerton shall be conducted on a delivery-versus- payment (DVP) basis. Securities will be held by a third party custodian designated by the City Treasurer. 12. DIVERSIFICATION: The City will diversify its investments by security type and institution. With the exception of U.S. Treasury securities and the State Investment Pool, no more than 30% of the City's total investment portfolio will be invested in a single security type or with a single financial institution. 13 . MATURITIES: To the extent possible, the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than five years from the date of purchase. However, the City may collateralize its repurchase agreements using longer-dated investments. 14. INTERNAL CONTROL: The City Treasurer shall establish a process of independent review by an external auditor. This review will provide internal control by assuring that policies and procedures are being complied with. Such review may also result in recommendations to change operating procedures to improve internal control. 15. EXTERNAL CONTROL: The City Treasurer may hire an investment advisor to provide strategy, reporting, competitive pricing and overall oversight of the investment process but the City Treasurer will retain and make all decisions as to transaction actually executed. 16. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: The City of Bremerton investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of obtaining a market average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the City's investment risk constraints and cash flow needs. Overall Portfolio Benchmark: The City's investment strategy is passive. Given this strategy, the returns of the overall portfolio will be compared to the State Local Government Investment Pool. Excess Liquidity Portfolio (Core Fund) Benchmark: A market benchmark will be established based on Treasury securities with maturities of 0-3 years to manage the investments in the portfolio that consist of open market securities. This will ensure that the appropriate risk and return characteristics of the portfolio are consistent with the City's expectations. 17. REPORTING: The City Treasurer shall provide to the Mayor and City Council monthly investment reports which provide a clear picture of the status of the current investment portfolio. The management report may include comments on the fixed income markets and economic conditions, discussions regarding restrictions on percentage of investment by categories, possible changes in the portfolio structure going forward and thoughts on investment strategies. Schedules in the monthly report should include the following: A listing of individual securities held at the end of the reporting period. Anticipated maturity and final maturity of all investment holdings. Coupon, discount or earnings rate. Par value, amortized book value and market value. 18. INVESTMENT POLICY ADOPTION: The City of Bremerton investment policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council. The policy shall be reviewed on an annual basis by the Finance Committee and any modifications made thereto must be approved by the City Council. Memorandum To: City Council Mayor Cary Bozeman From: Cathy Johnson, Finance Officer Re: Investment Policy Date: September 18, 2007 The Investment Policy of any organization is the key to a successful investment program. It is the guideline for the investments and encompasses investment constraints, best practices and the risk and return expectations for the City. It provides the City Council with a tool to ensure that their fiduciary responsibilities have been disclosed and are being implemented. It also, provides the City Treasurer with the guidelines that allow him/her to execute the investment role in an efficient and effective manner. The Association of Public Treasurers (APT) has suggested seventeen subject areas of recommended practices that should be addressed in the policy to achieve certification through their program. The existing policy is consistent with the recommended practices of the APT, however, there are four additions that should be considered to meet the current criteria of their program. 1) Section 4 Objective: Added a statement regarding the legal requirement that funds be invested in compliance with State of Washington statutes. 2) Section 7 Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions: Added a statement that allows the use of a Financial Advisor's approved dealer list when an advisor is used. 3) Section 9 Investment Pools/Mutual Funds: Added a new section to allow the use of the Washington State Local Government Investment Pool and the investment in mutual funds as approved by State Statute if the need should arise. 4) Section 10 Collateralization: Added a new section that provides a provision that sets the collateralization requirements in the event the city invests in repurchase agreements. In addition I am recommending two other changes to bring the policy up to date with current practices. 1) Section 15 External Control: The policy was previously silent on the use of an investment advisor. This section would allow the hiring of an advisor to provide strategy, reporting, competitive pricing and overall oversight of the investment process but requires that all decisions regarding investment transactions remain with the City. 2) Section 16 Performance Standards: This section has been updated to reflect appropriate benchmarks by which the City can measure its performance for both short and longer term investments. The yield of the entire portfolio will be compared to the yield of the Washington State Local Government Investment Pool which operates with the same objectives of safety, liquidity and return as the City. A market benchmark has been added for comparison of the City's Core portfolio. The core portfolio represents investment of funds that are not required for day to day liquidity needs. Given our objectives, an appropriate benchmark would be Treasury securities with maturities of 0-3 years. All of the above changes serve to refresh and update the Investment policy to meet current investment standards. The policy not only serves as my guideline for investment of the City's excess cash but also a standard by which the City Council and Investment Committee can oversee the investment of City funds and measure our performance against the market. Since the Investment committee is not currently active all of these proposed changes were previously discussed with the Finance Committee at their September meeting.

Advertising was conducted fo search for interested and well qualified candidates and the City was fortunate to receive a good response to the request for applications. From this large pool of qualified applicants five candidates were selected for interviews. The interview team consisted of a representative from the Mayor's office (Elaine Valencia), the City Council's office (Lori Smith), the Legal Department (Thelma Swem) and three individuals from Financial Services (Cathy Johnson, Cherie Henry, and Laura Lyon). At the conclusion of that process, Carol Etgen was offered and has'accept~d tlJe pos~tion o.f City Clerk for the. City of Br~m~rton. . ", i c' :" ' . ' ." ,_,. ,'. 'J ~ , . Carol Etgen has over 21 years of experience in County and Municipal Government - with over 12 years in the role of Clerk for both County and City govern.ments - including Riqhland, Port Orchard and most, recently .Poulsbo.

The City Clerk position is defined in Section 20 of the City Charter as an appointive office and per Section 21 of the City Charter appointive offices requires confirmation by the City Council. In addition, it would be useful to have the City Council formally acknowledge that Cherie Henry has and will continue to serve the functions of Deputy City Clerk as is needed from time to time.

Conley, Manag r Date: March 7, 2007 Re: Removing Teamsters employees from Civil Service Coverage OVERVIEW: In 2005, the City Charter was amended. One of the amendments changed the authority over who determined which employees retain Civil Service protection. Previously, this was determined by the Civil Service Commission, however, it is now included within the powers of the City Council. Under State law, members of the Police Department and the Fire Department are required to have Civil Service Coverage, including those with collective bargaining agreements (CBA). Bremerton is only one of five (5) other jurisdictions in the State that provide Civil Service (CS) protection to general non-exempt employees, in Bremerton's case it is the Teamsters bargaining unit. The other five jurisdictions are: . Yakima . Spokane . Bellingham . Everett . Tacoma Before collective bargaining agreements, Civil Service was put into place to: . Prevent favoritism; . Cronyism; and . Ensure a fair and impartial process existed for hiring, promotions ,and retention of employees. With the advent of collective bargaining and Public Employee Relations Commission, the majority of general employees in the public sector had these protections placed into their collective bargaining agreements. The City has tried several times during the collective bargaining process, to integrate the Civil Service provisions into the actual Agreement with little success. The biggest stumbling blocks for the Teamsters have been: . Their fear that the Civil Service protection would be eroded during the bargaining process over time; and . That any disciplinary appeals would need to go through the grievance procedure and arbitration, thereby creating additional expenses for the union and employees, instead of the Civil Service Appeal process. It is the City's desire to eliminate Civil Service coverage for Teamsters employees, but to incorporate similar provisions relating to disciplinary appeals in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. THE CURRENT CIVIL SERVICE SYSTEM: . Is Outdated; . Hinders establishing a more modernized hiring process; . Severely restricts timely hiring of qualified candidates; . Does not permit the involvement of those in the hiring department who are most knowledgeable of the position requirements and how an individual applicant would fit into the current departmental organization until after applicants are placed on the Eligible register; . Causes us to lose good candidates for positions because other employers were able to work more quickly in hiring. WHAT IS NEEDED: A high-performance government that is more responsive to public needs, its employees and management will happen by: . Reforming the cumbersome Civil Service job classification system to reduce complexity, and to improve efficiency, job mobility and career advancement; . Page 2 . Implementing modern, flexible human resource management tools to assist departments in providing more effective and cost-efficient services to meet citizen and business needs. For managers, reforming this system means: . More flexibility and speed in recruiting, hiring and promoting employees; . Ability to change the work that is done to match changing business and service needs; and . Relief from the bureaucracy of the current Civil Service system. CS APPEAL PROCESS VS. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE: One of the Teamsters main concerns has been using the CS Appeal process for disciplinary appeals instead of through the grievance arbitration process for monetary reasons as follows: . CS appeals do not cost either the union or the employee anything, unless they involve their own legal counsel. . An arbitrator costs anywhere from $500 to $800 per day, and the City and the Teamsters incur legal expenses preparing for and in participating in the process. It is the City's intent and the proposal of the Human Resources Division to address these concerns through impact bargaining. Under this proposal, the Teamsters would not be part of Civil Service but the Civil Service Commission would be acting as an appellant board for such appeals. The current Civil Service hiring provisions would not be rolled into the CBA. Some of the other Civil Service Code Rules that the Teamsters would also have issues on may be as follows: . RETREAT RIGHTS OF CERTAIN EXEMPT EMPLOYEES (This only applies to several employees who were formerly covered by Civil Service and accepted Management/Professional positions. It gives them the right to revert back to their previous Civil Service position should their management/professional position be eliminated, and under the lay-off provisions, allows them to displace a probationary employee or an employee with less seniority). . HIRING PROCESS . ELIGIBLE REGISTERS . DISCIPLINE . BUMPING RIGHTS DUE TO REDUCTIONS IN FORCE (Layoffs) . Page 3 All of the above matters and any others of concern to the Teamsters will be addressed during impact bargaining for their inclusion in the Teamsters Labor Agreement. staff recommends that the Council support the elimination of Civil Service coverage for members of the Teamsters' bargaining unit except those employed in the Police or Fire Department for the reasons as outlined in this memo. . Page 4 Memo To: City Council From: Carol S. Conley, Human Resources Manager CC: Laura Lyon, Director of Financial Services Ken Bagwell, Assistant City Attorney Date: October 2, 2007 Re: Results of Teamsters vote to remove Civil Service protection for bargaining unit members If you will recall, around the beginning of 2007, we began impact bargaining with the Teamsters on the City's proposal to remove Civil Service protection for their membership. After months of negotiations, we were successful in mutually agreeing to amend the current Teamsters collective bargaining agreement by incorporating some former Civil Service provisions and other items of concern into the Agreement. After several meetings with their membership and further refinement of the proposed changes to the Agreement, they did a mail out ballot to their membership on or about September 17th. On Monday, October 1, 2007, we were advised by Teamsters Business Representative, Ken Troup, of the results from ballots sent to their membership regarding removing Civil Service protection for bargaining unit members. Of the 51 votes cast, the final ballot tabulation results are as follows: 35 votes cast to remove Civil Service protection, and 16 votes cast to retain Civil Service protection The following Articles will be amended or added to the current Agreement to incorporate all agreed upon changes: Article 22 - Grievance Procedure: Clarifies Grievance definition and resolution of same, and allows disciplinary appeals to be filed either through the grievance procedure or to an Appeals Board, but not both. Article 34 - Discipline: Incorporates former Civil Service protection on discipline with just cause, pre-disciplinary hearings and disciplinary appeals. Article 35 - Seniority: Explains how seniority is determined for use in layoffs/recalls. Article 36 - Layoffs/Recalls: Provides for a layoff procedure, bumping options, recall from Layoff, recall notification and reinstatement provisions. Article 37 - Promotions: Gives consideration to bargaining unit members for promotions. Article 38 - Employment Information & Guidelines: Outlines hiring guidelines including non-discrimination, basis for employment, anti-nepotism, announcements, examinations, testing requirements, and promotional process. Article 39 - Union Bulletin Boards: Converts Civil Service bulletin boards to Union bulletin boards for posting notices, etc. Article 40 - Other Issues Relating to Conversion from Civil Service: For future issues that may arise in relation to the conversion from Civil Service until a successor agreement is ratified. City-wide Light Duty Policy: Incorporates former Civil Service language into a formal HR Policy for use city-wide. We have also prepared a formal Hiring Guidelines Policy that will streamline the hiring process and cover those employees affected and Management/Professional positions as well. It will be implemented immediately following approval of this action. What this all means is that we can now move forward to have the City Council take formal action on this issue. After review by the City Attorney and Laura Lyon, it is our recommendation that this be approved by Council. .

The Sub Area Plan includes two primary components: 1) an amendment to the 2004 Bremerton Comprehensive Plan adding the Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan and, 2) development regulations that will function as zoning upon Plan adoption. Wheaton -Riddell is a 106 acre area in East Bremerton containing a range of commercial uses and two separate 20+ acre vacant tracts. The area was designated one of the City's four District Centers in the 2004 Comprehensive Plan subject to more detailed future Sub Area Planning. The Sub Area Plan was completed in partnership between City of Bremerton and the owner of the 22 acre tract referred to as City Villa in the Plan. The Sub Area Plan also includes a schematic design concept for future upgrades within the Wheaton Way (SR303) right of way. These are consistent with the WSDOT SR303 corridor study but will require future coordination. Extensive community and stakeholder meetings were held on the Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan between the Fall of 2006 and the present. The Plan was submitted to DCD on August 13, 2007. The Planning Commission made a recommendation to Council for Sub Area Plan adoption on August 21,2007. All environmental reviews under SEPA and State Agency Comment periods are complete. OPTIONS 1. Adopt the proposed ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan to include the Westpark Sub Area Plan and amend BMC Chapter 20.80 to activate the development standards of the Plan. 2. Take no official action on the Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan, continue deliberation, and make additional revisions before moving on the Plan. ATTACHMENTS .

September, 2007 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan I. INTRODUCTION SUB AREA PLAN VISION A vision of a new District Center is being created for the area located near the intersection of Wheaton Way and Riddell Road in East Bremerton. Totaling approximately 106 acres, the Wheaton - Riddell District Center will provide a regional focus as well as services for residents within the center, surrounding neighborhoods in East Bremerton, and residents of unincorporated areas farther to the north. The Wheaton - Riddell District Center is envisioned as an urban mixed-use, mixed income, pedestrian oriented community. Potential features of the Wheaton-Riddell District Center include a range of desirable housing types, a wide range of business opportunities, as well as entertainment and leisure. The center will become a destination spot where people live, work, shop, dine and enjoy life together. SUB AREA PLAN STRUCTURE The identification of Wheaton-Riddell as a District Center grew out of the City of Bremerton's 2004 Comprehensive Plan Update. The Sub Area Plan must demonstrate how it fits with the larger goals and policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. Section II demonstrates Comprehensive Plan consistency. Sub Area Plans must also be based on public participation and input from the Community. The project team conducted an extensive public participation process. Input is integrated throughout this Sub Area Plan, and is documented in Section II. The Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan is unique because the process was driven by a design team with development interest in a specific location within the Sub Area (City Villa). However, because Sub Area urban design must function for an entire District Center, the design team was required to partner with the City to review and plan for the District Center as a whole. An overall urban design concept for the Sub Area Plan is laid out in Section II. In addition, to accommodate different conditions on the various areas within the District Center, the Sub Area Plan is broken into separate focus areas. These are: - Wheaton Way Corridor - (Section III) - Wheaton Frontages - (Section IV- WF) - Site Interiors - (Section IV - SI) - East Edge - (Section IV - EE) - City Villa. (Section V) The Plan includes a Section specifically on the Wheaton Way roadway corridor (Section III) since it is such a significant factor in the Plan. The City Villa portion of the Sub Area Plan where there is near term development interest, is planned to a higher level of detail than other areas of the Center and is included as its own section of the Plan. The City Villa section includes development standards and also achieves concept level planning for infrastructure, specific roadway sections and a detailed open space configuration. The other focus areas, the Wheaton Way Frontages, Site Interiors, and the East Edge contain preferred urban design concepts plus modifications to existing development standards, but are not planned to a detailed site-specific level. All focus area concepts fit within the Overall Sub Area Plan articulated in Section II. (Focus areas are displayed on the following page.) 1-1 Wheaton- Riddell Sub Area Plan The vicinity of the Whea,ton - Riddell Sub Area within the City of Bremerton is shown at left. Separate focus areas within the SubArea plan are shown above. r---' :.:~ SUB AREA PLAN REVIEW & ADOPTION The Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan is approved by the City's Planning Commission and by the City Council as a Legislative Action. The Sub Area Plan becomes an element of the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan. Where the Sub Area Plan presents deviation from base City Zoning, streetscape or other code standards, these unique standards are also adopted legislatively as a part of the Sub Area Plan. To the extent that codified development standards are included, these are located within the Development Standards subsection of each focus area. 1-2 September, 2007 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan II. OVERALL SUB AREA PLAN STUDY AREA The Wheaton - Riddell District Center was established in the 2004 Bremerton Comprehensive Plan. It is bounded by Riddell Rd. to the north, Almira Dr. to the east, Hollis St. and private property lines to the south, and the 2007 Bremerton City Limit to the west. (See map below.) Although the Comprehensive Plan envisions this area as a compact, walkable destination, these conditions are generally not present in the Wheaton - Riddell area today. Currently the center is characterized by box retailers, including K-Mart, Rite Aid and Goodwill that have large streetfronting parking lots with little vegetation. Some box retail spaces are vacant. including the former Lowe's site on the east side of the District Center. Wheaton Way is a five lane State arterial (SR 303) running through the middle of the district. Wheaton way carries high volumes of commuter traffic. It is a busy urban arterial roadway with few pedestrian amenities. The future treatment and configuration of Wheaton Way is a key factor in this Sub Area Plan. Both the east and west halves of the District Center contain opportunities for infill development and redevelopment. The west half contains a sand, gravel, and topsoil yard that is in non-conforming land use status. The proposed City Villa development would replace this yard. The eastern flank contains an undeveloped forested area with heavy vegetation and environmental sensitivities. l The site is well located with proximity to many urban services. Medical facilities are nearby in the Harrison Hospital District. Fire and emergency services, the regional library and post office are nearby. Both Wheaton Way and Riddell Road are serviced by existing bus routes. Downtown Bremerton employment centers and ferry access to Seattle are within a five minute drive to the south. The site is currently served by all public and private utilities. September, 2007 11-1 HISTORY & BACKGROUND Until the 1960s and 1970s the Wheaton - Riddell district was used for agriculture and pasturelands. Before 1904 the land was owned by Emil Urban who operated the Bremerton Dairy. In 1904 the 208 acre farm centered on the present alignment of Wheaton Way was purchased by Samuel Clare and his family. The area became known as Clare's Marsh. Every winter the pasture along the current Wheaton Way would flood and then freeze. Clare's Marsh was a popular spot for iceskating during the winter. Aerial photos taken at different times of the year during 1956 and 1963 (right) show the marsh and pasture lands along the current Wheaton Way allignment. A Bremerton Sun newspaper article included a photo of iceskaters enjoying the frozen Marsh in 1968. During the 1960s and 1970s the lands on the east side of the district were developed with retail. For a period, the area served as a retail hub for East Bremerton. The Wheaton - Riddell District was considered, but not selected as a potential site for the regional mall. Eventually the west half of the district developed in the mid 1980's with additional box commercial (present day Goodwill and adjacent buildings.) With the maturation of the Kitsap Mall in Silverdale, also built during the mid 1980's, the Wheaton - Riddell district began to struggle. Off price tenants predominate, and some spaces are currently vacant. Iceskaters on Glares Marsh. A Bremerton Sun Newspaper article I, on the area was pub- lishedin 1976atthetime commercial develop- ment plans were being considered. 11-2 ~~~;.~~wr~~7'''~~1jt;: ":1 ?8S1 ~. "....::.'.c.."" .

As noted, during recent years the area has struggled to retain commercial viability. Several commercial vacancies continue, most notably the former Lowe's site in the northeastern section of the district. A sand, gravel and topsoil yard along the western edge of the district is in non- conforming use status. Another complicating factor is that ownership of land within the Sub Area is spread among more than 25 peroperty owners according to 2007 Assessor records. Also, property owners in the area have differing levels of interest in a Sub Area Planning effort. The dispersed ownership makes coordinated redevelopment difficult. The visual character of the district is generally not held in high regarded by residents and the public. Many structures are aging. Expansive parking areas were not designed to current standards for landscaping and vegetation. A proliferation of pole signs from different time periods does not project any coherent image. High traffic volumes, and a generally uncoordinated circulation pattern within the district make for challenging vehicle and pedestrian circulation. Roadways in the area were designed in an era when pedestrian circulation was not regarded as an important factor. Piecemeal development over time of circulation driveways, curb cuts and entries complicates vehicle circulation. September, 2007 11-3 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY The City of Bremerton completed a Comprehensive Plan update in December of 2004. A City's development pattern and zoning must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The following demonstrates how the Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan fits the framework of the 2004 Bremerton Comprehensive Plan. T~e 2004 Comprehensive Plan land Use Map (below) represents how the City should grow and develop over a 20 year period. The land use map designates the Wheaton - Riddell District Center, and describes the intent of the District Center designation as follows: "District Centers are the larger Center type. They are sized and designed to provide a focus as well as services for several neighborhoods. Commercial and professional uses are more plentiful:and of larger scale than those in Neighborhood Centers. Residential uses are also focused in more dense patterns. ... Distinguishing characteristics of the Center type are: alternative circulation to and from nearby arterials, parking immediately outside the pedestrian core, and, opportunities for locating medium intensity employers. District Centers will typically have several key "focus amenities w. In the larger District Centers, focus amenities may be needed on either side of major arterials to minimize pedestrian/ traffic conflicts. W Comprehensive Plan map showing District Center designation. Descriptive statements from page 55 and 56 of the Comprehensive Plan for District Centers include the following. East Portion - Wheaton-Riddell District Center · "High density mixed use node that provides open space or; public plaza as a community focus" · "Frontage parking lots may be redeveloped to provide both on-street mixed-use structures and the needed pedestrian, bicycle and transit spaces." . · "Mixed-Use structures may be up to five stories" · "Strategic parking areas can be provided away from Wheaton Way and accessed from alternative circulation routes" · "Some small parking areas along Wheaton may remain" West Portion - Wheaton-Riddell District Center · "As in the eastern portion of the Center, a secondary circulation loop should be introduced behind existing structures or their replacements." . "More intense commercial uses and employment sites" · "Street fronting commercial structures should be introduced along Wheaton Way." · "Significant levels of parking may continue immediately behind street-side buildings here." \ 11-4 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan The Sub Area Plan includes numerous elements called for specifically in the Comprehensive Plan such as: a proposed retrofit of Wheaton Way to transform it into a pedestrian and auto friendly thoroughfare; a coordinated secondary circulation network; and public open spaces in each half of the district. The Sub Area Plan also meets many of the more generally stated Goals and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan as follows: LU1 C - Focus on central organizing features in planning communities, Centers and neighborhoods. The Sub Area Plan includes a Bouleveard Concept for Wheaton Way as a central organizing feature. The east and west portions ofthe sub area plan also have civic central organizing features. LU11-lntegrate Centers and transportation corridors with surrounding neighborhoods. The Sub Area Plan design concept seeks to better integrate Wheaton Way with neighborhoods on both sides of the LU2D - In order to facilitate a linked system of open space; integrate parks, schools, trails, and other open space features in a wide variety of land use designations. The Sub Area Plan proposes a network of green and open spaces throughout the Center including a heritage tree park, plazas and green streets, and calls for an enhanced connection to the nearby IlIahee Preserve. L U3C - Encourage increased density with development incentive and zoning flexibility. The Sub Area Plan process allows a development interest to tailor their own zoning standards as seen for the City Villa site. On the eastern half of the Center, incentives and density bonuses are proposed to balance preservation of natural features. LU4 - Provide for walkability throughout Centers and neighborhoods. The Sub Area Plan proposes street design for both the major arterial, Wheaton Way, and interior circulator streets to improve and enhance walkability. LU9D -In general, the intensity of land uses should be varied, with more intense uses nearer the core of the Center and less intense at the edge. The Sub Area Plan tapers density and intensity from Wheaton Way (high) down towards the edges of adjacent neighborhoods (medium/low). CC2E Buildings should demonstrate efforts to accommodate a human scale and urban livability. CC2F Create and improve urban open spaces. CC1 Demonstrate excellent urban design qualities in new development. The entirety of the Sub Area Plan calls for human scale, urban livability, and high quality urban design. These goals are embodied throughout the Plan in street and boulevard design, in the scale of buildings and their orientation to the street, and through the inclusion of public gathering spaces, plazas and trails. T1 - Encourage the development of an integrated multi-modal transportation system, that provides a variety of convenient transportation choices to improve the movement of people, goods, and freight. T1 0 - Coordinate with WSDOT to ensure state facility improvements meet the goals of th eBrmerton transportation vision and Comprehensive Plan, and minimize the negative impacts to the local transportation system. T1 OB - Expand opportunities for public involvemetn in the identification, design, and implementation of transportation related improvements within Bremerton. The Wheaton Way Corridor section of the Sub Area Plan calls for integration of multi-modal transit, lays out a plan for coordination with WSDOT and Kitsap Transit, and the Plan involved citizens in the design concept. E10B - Encourage dense development around designated Centers, which incorporate open space. E3C - Encourage developers of new projects in Bremerton, including public projects, to provide improvements that reduce the use of single occupancy vehicles. E11C - Encourage streetscapes taht are human-scale, enable walking, and bicycling, and are aesthetically pleasing. E8C - Promote alternatives to traditional stormwater practices for new construction, encourage onsite filtration, and require the use of current Best Management Practices. September, 2007 11-5 PUBLIC DESIGN PROCESS The design process for the Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan was a collaborative community based process. The design team held community workshops and open houses as listed below. Guiding principles and an overall urban design concept were created through the public design process. Public Open House #1 - 9/5/2006 This meeting was intended to raise public awareness and provide information. The meeting included background presentation on Sub Area Planning and urban design principles. The meeting included an exercise where residents indicated example images that they liked and didn't like using red and green dot stickers. The exercise indicated strong general support for mixed use and new urban design concepts. Participants appeared to prefer northwest and craftsman design cues to sleek or modern design cues. Participants also supported tapering of density, so edges have smaller scale residential structures. Public Workshop #2 - 10/14/2006 This meeting was in workshop format and was held on a Saturday. Participants worked from the input and direction provided during Open House #1. After general presentations and background review, the meeting broke into three working groups. Each working group was provided a base map and teams translated urban design ideas and concepts onto paper. The urban design concepts from all three teams had many commonalities. These urban design concepts, drafted by stakeholders and residents contribute significantly to the overall sub area plan design concept. Public Open House #3 - 10/24/2006 At the third open house participants were invited to review, comment, and build on the work created during the workshop. Participants provided feedback on the draft urban design concepts. The level of consensus was again very high. Residents made further suggestions on elements such as the type and nature of the open spaces, the mix and nature of commercial development, and the boulevard concept for Wheaton Way. Transportation Stakeholders Meeting - 11/30/2006 This meeting was a targeted meeting in Bremerton with key agency stakeholder representatives including the Washington State Department ofTransportation (WSDOT), Kitsap Transit, and the City Engineer. During the meeting the design team presented concepts for Wheaton Way (SR 303) and transit. City / WSDOT Coordination Meeting - 03/05/2007 This was a follow up meetings between the City of Bremerton and WSDOT regarding improvments and future configuration of Wheaton Way. The City and WSDOT reviewed concepts and signalization options for the Wheaton Way Corridor in the sub area planning area. A primary outcome was the central intersection with a right-in I right-out I left-in configuration. Property Owner Stakeholder Meetings Throughout the Sub Area Plan process the design team held a series of meetings and conversations with major property holders in the Distirct. Meetings wtih property owners stakeholders were intended to generate support and consensus for the Wheaton - Riddell District Center concept. Public Open House #4 - 7/31/07 A final public open house was held to present the draft plan to the public. The design team recieved comments and feedback on the plan proposal. Comments and feedback are incorporated into the final plan document for review by City of Bremerton legislative bodies. 11-6 September, 2007 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan A series of public meetings and workshops were held to generate ideas and build consensus on the SubArea Plan. 11-7 During the public design process members of the public created hands-on urban design concepts for the District. Workshop sketches are shown at right. Many of the ideas, and the overall layout and configuration shown in the workshop sketches are similar. The design team worked with and built from these common ideas in creating the SubArea Plan. 11-8 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan SUB AREA PLAN GUIDING PRINCIPLES The Principles below summarize key points from the Public Design Process. These principles guide the development of the overall Sub Area Plan. Vibrant / Livable / Walkable Mixed Use District · Add a compact mix of housing to the district ranging from single family townhomes to apartments, condominiums. · Encourage a vibrant mix of shops and services to serve resident of the distirct, surrounding neighborhoods. and to foster a lively and active street atmosphere. · Consolidate parking within central interior lots, and in structured garages within or below new buildings. · Improve pedestrian and bicycle connections within and outside of the district. Enhance Wheaton Way Corridor · Upgrade Wheaton Way as an attractive boulevard that moves automobiles, transit, pedestrians and adds to the character of the district and the City of Bremerton, and is consistent with State Route 303 corridor plans. · Improve transportation efficiency of Wheaton Way with techniques including access control. and consolidation of curb cuts over initially adding more travel lanes. · Work with WSDOT to phase-in SR 303 improvements in accord with this Sub Area Plan. · Create a frontage road configuration where a quiter local-serving frontage Rd. within the District Center improves ciculation patterns in the corridor. Taper Density & Intensity From Wheaton Way (high) to Neighborhoods (low) · Promote highest intensity on surface parking lots adjacent to Wheaton Way. Allow ample zoning envelopes. · Encourage redevelopment of existing box stores with added density and stories. · Allow medium scale mixed residential and commercial at back edges of existing box stores. · Blend west of edge of distirct with adjacent neighborhood, with single family and townhome structures. · Maintain natural buffers at the east and west edges of the district. Green & Re-Green the District · Create a network of green pathways and linking trails and walkways within the District. Include a clear trail connection into the nearby lIIahee Preserve. · Balance development with preservation and enhancement of natural features such as wetland or streams especially on the forested area using clustering techniques. · Use low Impact Development techniques especially for stormwater management within City Villa and elsewhere. · Create a heritage tree park along the District's west edge and maintain a forested buffer along the east edge. · Promote high performance/sustainable building practices. Clear & Logical Interior Circulation Network · Create a network of interior circulator streets within the District. · Establish a frontage road system in conjunction with the upgraded Wheaton Way boulevard. · Consolidate curb-cut entry points on Wheaton Way and focus entry onto circulator streets from other roadways. · Establish a primary east / west connection within each half of the District. · Add designated bicycle lanes in the north south direction within the frontage road. September, 2007 11-9 Enhance The Civic Realm & Create More Usable Open Space · Create a civic plaza area as a focus within City Villa. · Create a public gathering area that accentuates existing natural features wtihin the east edge area. · Establish a streetscape amenity zone in conjunction with the Wheaton Way frontage roads. · Ensure all interior streets include ample street trees, sidewalks, pedestrian lighting and other features. · Establish linking trails within the east and west edge buffers. · Reserve space and incorporate features to accommodate future transit stations at Riddell Rd. Reconnect With Area History · Include cues within public spaces remembering the history of the district as Clare's Marsh. · Include connections to history when naming new streets and public places - especially Clare's Marsh. GROWTH PROJECTIONS The 2004 Comprehensive Plan calls for buildout of the full district ,center with up to 3,800 residents, 660,000 GSF of commercial space, and up to 1,850 employees. About half of this development is anticipated to occur within a 20 year time horizon according to the Comprehensive Plan. This Sub Area Plan enables buildouts to meet these targets. Development of City Villa and the East Edge for example according to this plan will create a total of about 700 housing units, or 1;700 residents. Proposed zoning envelopes in the Wheaton Frontages and Site Interiors allow for substantial infill to provide the remain- der of the growth. However, since that development could happen with a wide. range of mixed uses.including residential, office and retail, it is difficult to predict exact amounts of GSF or housing units within those areas. A DCD technical memorandum on file documents full potential buildout to compare with planned growth targets. 11-10 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan CONCEPT SKETCH The rendering below displays the overall concept for the Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area.

Encourage and allow for intense infill development on surface parking lots at the Wheaton Way frontages including mixed use and residential structures. Practice careful siting of buildings to accommodate a frontage road boulevard concept along Wheaton Way. 2 - Focused Interior Parking - Concentrate and consolidate parking in interior parking lots, or structures. Re- duce the overabundance of parking in the district center for more efficient use of land. 3 - Clustered Forested Development - Encourage and allow for clustered mixed development on the forested parcel on the east edge of the Center. Seek to preserve trees and natural features by clustering dense, inten- sive forms of development away from natural features and slopes. 4 - Green Gathering Area - Create a public gathering place around natural green features on the forested area. Accentuate natural features such as the significant 'rock' located on the site, or the natural marsh or wet area. Seek to reconnect with the history of Clare's Marsh. 5 - Slope and Vegetation Preservation - Avoid extensive grading and retaining walls in this area. Work with existing natural features. 6 - East Buffer - Seek to retain a forested natural area at the edge of the study area to protect the adjacent residential neighborhood, and the pleasant 'green' character along Almira Dr. 7 - West Buffered Edge - Create, and enhance a natural buffer along the west edge of the district adjacent to single family neighborhoods. 8 - City Villa Development - Create a coordinated infill development called City Villa on the sand and topsoil yard at the west edge of the Center. Include a mix of residential densities ranging from single family at the edges to townhomes, and multi story apartments or condominiums at the center. Focus the City Villa develop- ment around a central civic plaza. 9 - Civic Plaza - Include a civic plaza within City Villa, around which some retail and mix of uses is allowed. 10 - Site Interior Intill - Encourage and allow for intense infill and refill development of the site interiors, where existing box stores are located. Redevelopment might include additional stories and retrofits of existing struc- tures. 11 - Focus Central Intersection - Create a significant entry identity and feature at the central intersection to the district. Focus landscaping, signage or feature vegetation to direct visitors into the District from Wheaton Way at the central location. September, 2007 11-13 CIRCULATION The figure below illustrates the preferred overall circulation pattern for the Wheaton-Riddell District Center. The primary goal is to create a coordinated and organized circulation system within I the district. The diagram indicates preferred locations and connections for future roadways and driveways within the; Sub Area. (Pedestrian and non-motorized circulation is depicted separately in Open Space.) Infill and refill development must be coordinated to allow for the proposed circulation system. The system will ensure an efficient and orderly pattern of circulation with increased density in the area.

WHEATON WAY CORRIDOR BACKGROUND Wheaton Way (State Route 303) is a five-lane principal arterial roadway that bisects the Wheaton - Riddell District Center. The long term configuration of the roadway has important implications for the District Center and east Bremerton as a whole. It is generally accepted that at some future time a substantial roadway improvement to the SR 303 corridor will be required. Section III of the Sub Area Plan provides guiding principles for Wheaton Way's reconfiguration from the City's perspective as developed during the Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan. The focus is on urban design and transportation needs. The Sub Area Plan for Wheaton - Riddell seeks a coordinated and efficient future development pattern in one of the City's District Centers. Without careful consideration of Wheaton Way the Sub Area Plan would not be complete. SR 303 Transportation Planning In 2002 the Washington State Department ofTransportation (WSDOT) completed a study of long term transportation needs in the SR 303 corridor. WSDOT produced an evaluation of impacts for a range of alternatives for north I south circulation in a study area extending from downtown Bremerton to Silverdale. The study arrived at a concept level preferred alternative for future circulation improvements in the Wheaton Way corridor. The State selected a preferred alternative focused on extensive Right of Way(ROW) Improvments on Wheaton Way rather than dispersed improvements to other north I south arterials in the vicinity. The preferred alternative calls for access control and widening of the roadway to six lanes with additional turn lanes at key intersections such as Wheaton - Riddell. The State's preferred alternative calls for the outer lane in each direction to be dedicated rapid transit I HOV lanes during peak periods, and open to all vehicles during non peak periods. City of Bremerton electeds and other agencies participated in the study. However, at the time the City had not yet adopted its 10 year Comprehensive Plan Update and did not have a recently prepared planning framework to evaluate the State's proposals. During roughly the same timeframe Kitsap Transit conducted a study of long term public transit potential in the SR 303 corridor. It is likely that SR 303 from Bremerton to Silverdale (along with SR 305 from Poulsbo to Winslow) will be among the first corridors in Kitsap County to receive substantial investment in an improved system of rapid transit. Kitsap Transit contracted consultant Nelson Nygard to study various modes of rapid transit and made recommendations for SR 303. The Nelson Nygard study concluded that Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) would be the most effective solution for future transit in the corridor based on cost, physical configuration and other factors. BRT is a system of upgraded high capacity busses running on frequent intervals, that receive advantages to move the busses past traffic (such as HOV lanes), with stops at select stations only. The Nelson Nygard study included a review of intersection queue jumping for BRT as a potential method to advance buses through traffic. The queue jumping option is pursued as in interim measure in this Sub Area Plan. The Sub Area Plan works within the framework of the WSDOT SR303 corridor study and Kitsap Transit's study. Generally the Sub Area Plan accommodates conclusions of both. However, it is important to note that neither of the previous studies detailed upgrades to a site specific or design level. The Sub Area Plan takes steps towards a future physical design concept for SR 303 within the study area and by extension for other urbanized sections of the corridor in Bremerton. The design principles articulated in Section III of the Sub Area Plan will help guide City policy as plans for the SR303 corridor move into the design and implementation stages in the coming years. 111-1 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan EXISTING COND~TIONS Wheaton Way in the vicinity of the area is the primary north / south circulation route in Central Kitsap. It is configured with 5 lanes, two northbound and two southbound, with a center turning lane. At major intersections there are additional right hand turn pockets. In the study area there is not currently a dedicated right hand turn pocket in the northbound direction at Riddell Rd. just north of the study area boundary (In Kitsap County) there is a dedicated right hand turn pocket in the southbound direction at Riddell Rd. Wheaton Way is a high volume through corridor for commuter traffic to employment and the ferry terminal in Downtown Bremerton. Southbound volumes are greater in the morning peak period and northbound volumes are greater in the afternoon peak period, evidencing the importance of this route as a communter corridor. At the time of the WSDOT study the Average Weekday Daily Traffic (AWDT) volume on Wheaton Way just north of Riddell Road was 33,500; at Sheridan Road 31,100; and on the Warren Avenue Bridge 41,900. The WSDOT study suggested that in year 2030 under a no action alternative traffic volumes in the corridor would increase to 49,700 at Riddell Rd; 45,600 at Sheridan; and 67,200 on the bridge. Under the preferred alternative volumes were projected to increase to 58,000 at Riddell Rd; 56,300 at Sheridan; and 77;300 on the bridge. That marks an increase of about 16% more vehicles in the corridor at Ridd~1I Rd. with the proposed improvements compared to without them. Further, the study estimated a'mode split' getween the number of travellers in Single Occupancy Vehicles vs. those using transit at 84% to 16% in 2030 with no improvement, and 74% /26% under the preferred alternative. When proposing concept level design variations ~o the WSDOT preferred alternative, the City of Bremerton acknowledges that a review of how the improvements perform compared to these WSDOT projections will be required. PREFERRED URBAN DESIGN The following are the general design principles arrived at during the Sub Area Plan process for the redevelopment of Wheaton Way. Ideas and preferences for the Wheaton Way Corridor are based on collaborative discussion and work sessions with the public, property owners and transportation agencies during the fall and winter of 2006. The public expressed a strong desire for the Wheaton Way corridor to be more visually appealing and attractive. Most members of the public do not like the roadway's current character and do not view it as a place they like to go to. The Sub Area Plan design team also held meetings with a transportati9n stakeholders working group including WSDOT and Kitsap Transit regarding the Wheaton Way reconfiguratio,n and design. City meetings with WSDOT were highly productive, and arrived at a concept for improvements that may phase in over time. Phasing and careful design can allow for achievement of throughput transportation goals as well as a dramatically improved character and ambience for the corridor. The City will establish building setbacks ami ROW improvement requirements to mesh with the phased Wheaton Way ROW improvements. (See IV.WF Wheaton Frontages) 111-2 September, 2007 GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR SR 303 IMPROVEMENTS. See also illustrations on following pages. 1. Enhance the visual character of the Wheaton Way Corridor to create a strong sense of place. · Create a boulevard that makes a gateway to Bremerton. . Use plantings medians, and amenity strips along the roadway edge of sufficient size to enhance the visual character of the roadway. . Upgrade pedestrian features such as sidewalks, paving, signagelwayfinding, street furniture bus shelters, and crosswalks. . Underground the overhead utilities with redevelopment of the SR 303 corridor. . Insert distinctive lighting fixtures at both the pedestrian and vehicle scale. 2. Maintain and improve traffic flow to meet future transportation needs of Central Kitsap. . Implement access control and consolidate curb cuts to facilitate flow. . Add dedicated turning pockets at key intersections including at Riddell northbound. · Create a locally scaled frontage road adjacent to the principal roadway. · Seek to accommodate WSDOT traffic volume and through-put goals. 3. Enhance the secondary circulation network to improve traffic flow. . Encourage interior circulation and locally scaled frontage roads in the blocks fronting Wheaton Way. . Locate the north I south bicycle route within the secondary circulation routes rather than adding bicycle lanes direcdy onto Wheaton Way. 4. Facilitate and integrate Bus Rapid Public Transit (or other transit) in the corridor. · Accommodate Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) . Install a system of queue jumping at signalized intersections for BRT within right turn pockets. · Integrate BRT station upgrades with shelters and amenities. . Route local serving busses through the Center on frontage and interior circulation roads. 5. Include a focus entry I exit intersection at the middle of the District Center. . Include a right-in I right-out I left-in, turn pocket intersection at a central location. . The central intersection could transition to a signal intersection at a future time. (Options include relocation of the existing light at Hollis St., or a future new signal light after substantial infill.) . Align the entrance I egress easements at the focus intersection within the District. . Include attractive and highly visible amenity features at the focus entry I exit. . Explore creation of at least one pedestrian crossing at a location between Hollis St. and Wheaton. 6. Phase-In ROW Improvements Beginning With Access Control · As a first step create a planted center median, and implement curb cut consolidation. . New development contributes to ROW sidewalk upgrades as consistent with first phase. · Access control measures must double as urban design features. . Create a neighborhood scale frontage road initially within private setbacks. · In the long term frontage road can transition to additional travel lanes if necessary. 6. Minimize eminent domain takings to respect private property and manage project costs. . If volume and throughput goals can be met with access control and phased improvements, avoid addition of more lanes, which requires property acquisition. . Work with WSDOT on the 'phasing in' concept to avoid eminent domain and to minimize cost. 11I-3 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan WHEATON WAY ORGANIZATION WITHIN DISTRICT CENTER 11I-4 September, 2007 OVERALL ORGANIZATION WITHIN DISTRICT CENTER The figure at left summarizes the preferred overall organization of traffic flow through the District. Detailed depictions are on the following pages. A. Wheaton Way I Riddell Intersection Existing - Signalized intersection. Striped center turn lane becomes designated left hand turning lane. Proposed -Improve signalized intersection. Median planter strip I access control tapers to a designated left hand turning lane. Upgrade signal light to allow BRT queing and synchronize light with Hollis St. light. mechanism (See also 8.). B. Right Turning and Transit (BRT) Existing - Currently no right turn lane or dedicated lane for transit. Proposed -Add right hand turn lane that doubles as a Bus Rapid Transit Zone. Busses advance ahead of northbound traffic with queue-jumping. BRT station is located here with shelters and amenities. C. Access Control (Throughout Corridor) Existing - Too many existing curb cuts (14 total). Interrupts flow, and is dangerous and confusing. Proposed - Consolidate curb cuts with access control I planter strips. Planted center median and planter strips at sidewalks edges. Create a netwok of interior circulators including small scale frontage road within private setback. D. Mid Block Lane Configuration Existing - 2 northbound and 2 southbound lanes with striped center two way turn lane. Proposed - 2 northbound and 2 southbound lanes with center planter strip I access control. Planter strip tapers to left hand turn pockets at focus entry, Riddell Rd. and Hollis St. E. Easement and Lot Line Adjustments Existing - Major access easements on opposite sides of Wheaton Way do not allign. Proposed - Work with property owners to adjust easements and lot lines for alignment at focus entry in the middle of the District. F. Create Focus Entry at the Middle of the District Center Existing - No focus entry to the shopping center, many curb cuts. Proposed - Create a focus entry where access to both halves of the District is consolidated. Remove all curb cuts in the Center. exceptfor here. Focus entry is right-in I right-outl left-in. Include measures to ensure safe and pleasant pedestrian connection between the two halves at this location, or another location between Hollis and Wheaton. G. Hollis Street Intersection Existing - Signalized intersection. Striped Center turn lane becomes designated left hand turning lane. Proposed -Improve signalized intersection. Median planter strip I access control tapers to allow for designated left hand turning lane. 11I-5 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan TYPICAL MIDBLOCK CONFIGURATION This proposal is to a concept level and will require future study and design. , Existing _ ExistinQ~ \ I-_.nmut_n.- , . ! VJl(~~~ Existing The existing configuration of Wheaton Way between Hollis St. and Riddell Rd. includes two 11' northbound and two southbound travel lanes with a 12' striped center turning lane. The total existing ROW width is 72'. There are numerous curbcuts (15) between the two cross streets. On both sides of the roadway there are narrow 5' sidewalks. Overhead utilities are located on the west side ofthe street. In most locations there are asphalt parking areas immediately behind the sidewalks. Most existing largescale com- mercial structures are set back several hundred feet from the ROW, but several smaller structures are located within 50 feet of the Raw. Proposed Concept Two 11.5' northbound and southbound travel lanes and an access control median are proposed. Extensive access control is implemented. A center median I planter strip is added to consolidate left hand turning at key locations (intersections and the central focus entry). Access control is also implemented on the sides of the Right of Way. The total right of way width would have little or no expansion in the interim phase. A secondary circulation network is created with the additional of a neighborhood scale frontage road that would be located in the front setback on private property. In the long term, if WSDOT required additional lanes for the full extent of the roadway, the frontage road could be converted to ROW. Through Sub Area planning the City will add requirements and standar~s for interior circulation on private property. A privately owned 'frontage road' is proposed on each side of the ROW. The City will require or incentivize development of the frontage road to a standard. The frontage road provides access to businesses, and functions as a secondary network for north-south circulation. (Other interior roadways within the sub area will also assist with north-south circulation). Parking at storefronts on the frontage road will be allowed 'and encouraged. Bicycles will be routed through the frontage roads rather than directly on the Wheaton ROW. 11I-6 September, 2007 PROPOSAL CONCEPT: MIDBLOCK CONFIGURATION t.:..b.4..,.._~, l \~ ,", PROPOSAL CONCEPT: MIDBLOCK CONFIGURATION k-.- (~ ; :QS: .

Existing n'~ Existing The existing configuration of the Wheaton I Riddell intersection is shown at left. Note that there is no existing right turn pocket in the northbound direction at the intersection. The left turning lane is a striped center lane that continues as a center two way turning lane. PROPOSAL CONCEPT The proposal suggests a dedicated left-hand turn pocket at the intersection, which emerges from the center planted median. The center median would be narrower at mid-block locations. The planted median would 'fan out' as it approaches the intersection to have adequate width for a vehicle turn lane, and would then taper back to allow space for the left hand turn lane. The proposal also includes a dedicated multi purpose right hand turn lane and SRT Transit lane before the light in both the northbound and southbound directions. The signal light is programmed to allow Transit bus advancement. At these locations space and amenities for a SRT Station are included. The necessary length of both the right hand and left hand turn pockets would need to be studied. Entrances to the frontage road after the intersection are provided. These entrances are right-in only. They also allow additional space after the signal light for transit busses to merge back into traffic. 11I-8 September, 2007 PROPOSAL CONCEPT: INTERSECTION ~~ . I',. i. (~.~.

The preferred transit technology according to Kitsap Transit and recent momentum is Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). BRT is a regionally scaled bus system, where busses are larger, faster, and make fewer stops. BRTs should be designed to advance past other traffic and can be powered by alternative fuels such as biodiesel, fuel cells or other fuels. The City of Bremerton strongly supports the development of BRT in the SR303 corridor to Silverdale. It is likely that a BRT would have select stops at 'station areas' spaced at intervals similar to those shown at right. Each station area would have linkages to locally serving bus connections or park and rides. Bremerton would like to partner with Kitsap Transit so City land use planning can accommodate and facilitate BRT transit station areas. The City supports the inclusion of a BRT station area at the Wheaton - Riddell District Center. Other likely locations for BRT stations may include Olympic College, Wheaton I Sheridan (with proximity to Harrison Hospital), McWilliams Road; Fairgrounds Rd; Ridgetop Blvd.; and Downtown Silverdale. 11I-12 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan I/:f.:<,;'/~r>~~' r~; ~"",'~ Silverdale l~~:~~::'J ~a~\ \ i1~1 :'Mlli~~~{r 1">r~0~;~)i;, Ridd~1 ~f~l '~l V s~, \.. ! ::~<<::\ ~:;/ , ',~; \~~~,~,'Q Harrisbni~\/ ~ 0 :'0; ,; "It!'!!

September, 2007 IV.WF - WHEATON FRONTAGES FOCUS AREA WHEATON FRONTAGES FOCUS AREA The Wheaton Frontages extend from the Wheaton Way ROW to the east and the west for a depth ranging from 285' to 315'. The interior edges (those furthest from Wheaton Way) follow parcel lines where they are present, and the approximate location of an existing or potential mid-site circulator where no parcel lines are present. (See figure below.) Detailed development standards that will function as zoning within the Wheaton Frontages are also included in this subsection. '. . - ~ .2r~'~:~~~~~a;:~::a~{,., ~~;;;;;rt~~'~4;~ .. IV.WF -1 Wheaton- Riddell Sub Area Plan PREFERRED URBAN DESIGN The preferred urban design for the Wheaton Frontages seeks to accommodate the preferred roadway improvements on Wheaton Way (Section III). Existing zoning for the area (District Center Core (DCC)) already fits fairly well with the vision for Wheaton I Riddell Sub Area as expressed in this planning process. Therefore, the DCC designations is used as a starting point and only minor modifications are made. The following are the key concepts for how the DCC designation needs to be modified and refined in order to meet the intent of the overall Sub Area Plan. Most important within this focus area is the need to craft appropriate setbacks and improvement requirements for the front (Wheaton Way) setback. The following principles layout the urban design strate~y for the Wheaton Frontages. Accommodate Wheaton Way Right of Way (ROW) Improvements: Wheaton Way will receive improvements over time in a phased manner, beginning with access control, turn pockets and streetscape upgrades within the existing ROW. Later the roadway may be expanded with additional lanes per WSDOT studies. The following objectives seek to integrate land use setbacks with future Wheaton Way improvements: . Right of Way Upgrades: Development in the Wheaton Frontages should contribute to and frame phased improvements to the Wheaton Way corridor. Since Wheaton Way (SR 303) is a state highway, many of the roadway upgrades will be funded by state sources pursuant to the SR 303 improvements. However, development must also contribute to frontage improvements within the edg~ of the ROW. New development should provide targeted streetscape features that will be added to later during the larger phased WSDOT project. . Curb Cut Consolidation: Curb cuts directly onto Wheaton Way should be consolidated to one main entry I exit at the midpoint of the Center (See Section III). This is a part of the preferred urban design strategy for Wheaton I Riddell as a whole. Curb cut consolidation is also an access control measure that streamlines circulation. Other entries and exits onto Wheaton will be made via the existing signalized intersections at Riddell Rd. and at Hollis St. No new curb cuts onto Wheato'n should be allowed, and new development should consolidate existing curb cuts. Incorporate Frontage Road & Interior Circulation: The Wheaton Way Improvements detailed in Section III of this Plan call for an interior circulation network, including a neighborhood scaled frontage road. . Frontage Road Within Setback: A calm, neighborhood scale frontage road should be created within the required front setbacks of properties within the Wheaton Frontages; A space allowance, plus parking lot striping should be provided to enable the creation of the frontage road. In the long term, ifWSDOT requires ROW expansion for additional travel lanes, the frontage road may be converted to ROW at a future time. . Amenity Zone: In addition to frontage road circulation, an amenity zone adjacent to the base of new infill buildings should be provided. The amenity zone will 'look and feel' like a public sidewalk zone, but it will be located on private property associated with the new development. . . Mid-Site Circulator: New development in the Wheaton Frontages will back up to a MidSite circulator. Development in the Wheaton Frontages should not preclude creation of the mid site circulator. The City should review site design to ensure adequate space is provided to accommodate the mid-site circulator. IV.WF -2 September, 2007 Intill Development on Surface Parking Lots: Long term redevelopment of existing surface parking lots is a critical element of the Sub Area Plan. Redevelopment of surface lots helps to achieve numerous Plan goals such as: activation of the streetscape, densification of development, meeting growth targets, and creating a more human scale to the Wheaton Way. (See Section II). The current land use and zoning scheme (DCe) takes steps to encourage infill on surface lots but it must be modified. Modifications are needed to make sure the unique conditions of Wheaton Way are addressed, and to provide more options for infill development. . . Flexibility of Building Setbacks: The DCC zone setback (Maximum 10') is too restrictive for development and does not accommodate a frontage road or Wheaton Way ROW upgrades. The Sub Area Plan proposes a flexible setback range: Minimum 30' and Maximum 55'. Infill buildings should have their front facade within . that setback range. Within the setback there are options for varied configurations of frontage road, storefront parking and amenity zone. . Buildings Oriented 'Inward' or 'Outward': Developers placing infill on surface lots may wish to face buildings towards Wheaton Way, or they may wish to face buildings inward to the center of the site. When a building faces outward it should contribute to an attractive Wheaton Way streetscape befitting of a center district. When buildings face inward, their 'backs' facing Wheaton Way must be attractively screened and designed. . Storefront Parking: Retail businesses often prefer to have storefront parking that customers can see from the main roadway. The DCC zone does not allow parking in front of a business on Wheaton Way. Through the Sub Area Plan, some storefront parking should be allowed facing Wheaton Way. With the addition of the frontage road, a row of strorefront parking can be added without detracting from the pedestrian experience. A single row of parking can even contribute to a protective buffer for pedestrians. . Most Intense Building Scale: Since the Wheaton Way frontages are adjacent to an arterial street, the area may accommodate a high level of building scale and intensity. The Wheaton Way frontages should allow for buildings up to 65' high, and other limitations on the scale of buildings within the focus area should be minor. Contribute to Pedestrian and Nonmotorized Circulation Network: The preferred urban design for Wheaton Way frontages calls for a system of frontage road, storefront parking and amenity zone. Features should be provided within this strategy to ensure a coherent and efficient pedestrian and nonmotorized circulation network. . Bicycle Lane: A striped bicycle lane within the front setback adjacent to the Wheaton Right of Way. . Amenity Zone Improvements: Include specific improvement standards for the amenity zone adjacent to new buildings that contribute to pedestrian circulation and connections. This will include standards for 'hardscape', plantings, and building facade treatments. . Crosswalks to Amenity Zone: Since the sidewalk in the public ROW will be located across the frontage road from the amenity zone, crosswalk connections should be provided at intervals to ensure safe pedestrian circulation. . Through Corridors: Where frontage buildings are wide or oriented to the interior, periodic through corridors for pedestrians to reach the site interior should be provided. . Contribute to ROW Improvements: Any new development within the Wheaton Frontages, or in the site's interior (if on a contiguous parcel) should contribute to sidewalk improvements in the public right of way. IV.WF - 3 WHEATON FRONTAGES CONCEPT Wheaton- Riddell Sub Area Plan This illustration shows the concept for how Wheaton Way could be reconfigured and a neighborhood scale frontage road could be added. The sidewalk and planting strip at the edge of Wfueaton Way would be in the public ROW, and some of the improvements would be a part of the WSDOT phased improvement project. The frontage road, storefront parking and amenity zone adjacent to new building would be located in, the front setback. In the long term, if additional lanes on Wheaton Way are required the frontage road and storefront parking could be converted to public ROW.

The vehicle Cartway is the maximum 20', perpen- dicular storefront parking at 18' is provided, and the amenity zone is 12'. This exmple shows how the frontage road could be converted to ROW in the long term. The building is in the same position as the first example. Even With ROW expansion an ample amenity zone would remain. IV.WF - 5 Wheaton- Riddell Sub Area Plan Page left intentionally blank.

September, 2007 WF-lO IV.SI - SITE INTERIORS FOCUS AREA SITE INTERIORS FOCUS AREA The Site Initeriors Focus Area extends from the back edge of the Mid Site Circulator. The Site Interiors begin at a setback ranging from roughly 285' to 315' from Wheaton Way as shown below. This is the approximate location of the mid-site circulator as depicted in Section II of this Sub Area Plan and the front of the existing box stores. The Site Interiors focus area extends on the west to the edge of City Villa, and to the east. the edge of the current forested area. :)~~~~~: IV.SI-1 Wheaton- Riddell Sub Area Plan PREFERRED URBAN DESIGN The preferred urban design for the Site Interiors allows for intensive infill and refill development and accommodates an I improved interior circulation network. The existing District Center Core (DCe) designation is used as a starting point and only minor modifications are made. The following are the key concepts for how the DCC designation needs to be modified and refined in order to meet the intent of the overall Sub Area:Plan. Most important within the focus area is the need to accommodate interior circulation. I Accommodate Interior Circulation: The sub area plan calls for a network of circulation routes to make a more efficient and orderly overall circulation network. The Site Interiors are framed by the proposed interior circulator routes. · Accommodate Mid-Site Circulators: The Sub Area Plan calls for mid-site circulators in a north I south direction between the Wheaton Way Frontages and the Site Interiors focus areas. New Development must not be located to preclude the mid-site circulator. The Mid~Site circulator can be dedicated as a public ROW or it can remain a private driveway. Mid-Site Circulators should connect to adjacent properties and Riddell Rd. at the north and to Hollis St. at the south where possible. Wherever possible the Mid-Site Circulator should be a continuous straight drivelane. · Accommodate Site Interior Circulators: The Sub Area Plan calls for site interior circulators in a north I south direction at the back edges of this focus area. New DevelQpment must not be located to preclude the Site Interior circulator, The Site Interior circulator can be dedicated as a public ROW or it can remain a private driveway across properties. The Site Interior circulator should connect to adjacent properties and Riddell Rd. at the north and where possible to Hollis St. at the south. Wherever possible the Mid-Site Circulator should be a continuous straight drivelane. · Sreet Treatments of Circulators: Some streetscape and roadway elements should be included along the Mid-Site Circulators and Site-Interior Circulators to give theryl the quality of attractive roadways. Parking lot plantings should be located to frame the edges of the circulators. Striping can be used to clearly identify the . . I circulators. Where possible curb, and sidewalk elements c~n be added to make the circulators function more like streets. Infill & Refill Development: Much of the focus area contains existing buildings, but there is opportunity for infill redevelopment of. Deosification including construction of new, mixed use and multiple story building in the area, or addition of upper stories to existing buildings is encouraged. · Building Scale: Since the Wheaton Way frontages are in an interior site location, and area generally buffered from small scale residential neighborhoods the area may acqommodate a high level of building scale and intensity. The Wheaton Way frontages should allow for buildihgs up to 55' high. Other limitations on the scale of buildings within the focus area should be minor to allow f1e~ibility in redevelopment. . · Flexibility of Building Setbacks: Setbacks in the Site Interiorslare flexible. Buildings should be located with ,. '. one frontage along either the Mid-Site or the Site-Interior Cirq..llator. A maximum setback from a designated frontage is 40'. (See also Quality Building Design Below). IV.SI- 2 September, 2007 Quality Building Design & Street Activation New development must have building form and design quality befitting of a center. New development should help activate the streetscape along streets and private circulators, and add to the overall harmony of the District Center. . Building Orientation and Citing: Developers placing infill or redevelopment in this area may wish to face buildings towards either the Mid-Site Circulator, or they may wish to face buildings towards the Site Interior Circulator. Buildings must have one frontage within 40' of either of the circulators to contribute to an enclosed street environment. . F a~ade Treatments: New development should have at least one attractive primary front facade treatment. No facade should be blank or unscreened as it faces a public ROW or private circulator. Pedestrian and Non-motorized Connections Features should be provided within this strategy to ensure a coherent and efficient pedestrian and nonmotorized circulation network. . Contribute to ROW Improvements: Any new development within the Site Interiors Focus area that does not have infill development between it and Wheaton Way should contribute to Wheaton Way Right of Way improvements. '~ Redevelopment in the Site Interiors area should reserve space ." for interior circulation .>~ ';"~ via the mid- site ~ circulators and the site ..

Page Left Intentionally Blank. September, 2007 IV.SI-8 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan IV.EE - East Edge Focus EAST EDGE FOCUS AREA The East Edge Focus Area extends from the back edge of the Site Interiors to the Sub Area Plan boundary at Almira Drive. The East Edge is clearly identifiable from the aerial photographs. It is a undeveloped forested area and includes just two tax parcels, currently with the same owner, comprising a total of about 20.2 acres. IV.EE - 1 Wheaton- Riddell Sub Area Plan PREFERRED URBAN DESIGN The preferred urban design for the East Edge area seeks to meet goals for both infill density, and preservation of natural features and greenery. Both of these concepts were supported strongly during the Sub Area planning process, and are emphasized in the Comprehensive Plan. Both goals can be achieved through site design that emphasizes clustering. The following principles structure the preferred design for the East Edge. Currently, an interim zoning designation of R-10 (Low Density Residential) is placed on the area. The proposed urban design and development standards for the East Edge are significant departures from R-10. Eveh with these changes, the City recognizes that at a future time owners of the East Edge parcels may wish to partner with the City on a more detailed design for this focus area. If so, the City would work with owners to amend this subsection of the Sub Area Plan. Green Space Preservation The sub area plan calls for greening and re-greening of the area. · East Edge Forest Buffer: Development should be clustered away from a substantial forest buffer at the east edge of the site. An average buffer of 85' is proposed. This puffer size protects the steepest topography, retains the leafy green character of Almira Dr., and protects the adjacent single family neighborhood from the impacts of intense land uses in the center, in keeping with Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. Developers may also use averaging and tree preservation tools for flexibility in reducing the size of the buffer. . Green GatheringArea: The SubArea Plan and the Comprehensive Plan call for a sizeable green gathering area within this half of the District. A green area that preserves natural features and reconnects with the history of Clare's Marsh is proposed. For consistency with goals for neighborhood scale park spaces, the minimum size of the green area is proposed at 1 acre. . Flexibility: Tools to allow a developer flexibility in site design while still meeting base requirements for green space preservation should be included. Linking Trails A system of connecting public pathways and trails is called for in the Sub Area Plan and the Comprehensive Plan. . IIlahee Preserve Link: A pathway, preferably through the forest buffer, which provides a public linkage to the vicinity of the lIIahee preserve should be included. This meets City and County goals for public access to a network of green spaces. . Clemens St. Link: A public pathway, which may include sidewalk andlor more natural trails, should link from the Site Interior portion of the District, through the Green Gathering area and make a connection to Clemens St. This allows for a pedestrian connection to Clemens St., without introducing cut-through vehicle traffic to the neighborhood. Clustered Intill Density Substantial infill density should be allowed within the East Edge to meet growth goals and add vitality to the Distrct. Such infill density can be achieved, while natural features are preserved if clustering techniques are used. · Residential Density: A clustered residential density equal to 20 units per acre is proposed. The allowable density sghould be applied to total gross site area before buffer and critical area deductions. · Commercial Development: Commercial development consistent with allowable forms of commercial development in a center District should be allowed, provided buffers and other requirements for green space are met. . Ample Zoning Envelope: To achieve clustered density, an ample zoning envelope must be allowed. Since roughly 30' of topography and a sizeable forest buffer will separate the Almira Dr. residential neighborhood, an ample height limit of 55' will not have neighborhood impacts. Other limitations on the form of development should be minimized. IV.EE - 2 September, 2007 . Parking Reductions: To achieve the desired amount of clustered density, site area must be used efficiently. To reduce the amount of area needed for building footprints, and to reduce cost of construction, techniques to reduce the amount of parking are proposed. . Hollis St. Alley: Ensure that access to the alley at the rear of existing single family homes on Hollis S1. is maintained. Provide continue ability by residents to use alley from Maple, provided alley does not infringe on usable area of adjacent property. Quality Building Design & Street Activation Standards for a high quality of building design and street activation as consistent with other subsections of this sub area plan should be applied to the East Edge. ~!~:.l~i!~~tt~~?f~;k~Wi)t,JtH~j, ~.' .!)f[~ ..-,' ". #c-p ~~)f. , ,.. , t 1:;'\" ", ~ ~\;, 't, -:;i.!J~ ~~ ,~- ~. .' ~ " '\: \ '. .... ~;" ~~ ..'if ~\, ~;';'~t.i ^ ' .. ..

If these are provided, a developer is allowed ample clustered density on the remainder portions of the site. The configuration of the buffer, gathering area and trails are subject to site design. The figure at left depicts them with the minimum sizes as called for in this SubArea Plan. IV.EE - 3 Wheaton- Riddell Sub Area Plan Page left intentionally blank.

CITY VILLA FOCUS AREA PLAN City Villa - A Future Vision Guiding Principles Conceptual Site Plan Development Standards Low Density Residential (LDR) Medium Density Residential (MDR) High Density Residential (HDR) Mixed Use Core (MXC) Design Standards Parking Standards Street Standards Streetscapes Parks and Open Space CV-1 City Villa - A Future Vision ~ Aerial computer perspective of the proposed City Villa community I Proposed City Villa s~e plan in the context of the District Center Core CV-2 The vision for City Villa is a new urban vil- lage complete with commercial and residen- tial elements. Homes and condominiums incorporate green spaces to provide an enjoyable place to live. Commercial buildings will surround a central plaza, with condominiums on the top floors The City Villa site design includes shared parking designed to enhance an efficient and desirable neighborhood. Parks, Plazas and Green Streets are a focus and destination. Guiding Principles Guiding Principles . Area. City Villa is a planned 22 acre community averaging 15 dwelling units per acre. The project will have a maximum of 329 residential units and 80,000 sq. ft. commercial space. Residential units will include a range of housing types and sizes. Seven commercial buildings are central to the community, each with a 6,000 sq. ft. footprint. Shops and restaurants will be on the ground floor facing main streets, and offices on the second floor. Urban condominiums are planned for the 3rd and possibly 4th floors. . Area Amenities. An identifiable central area and public parks. Incorporated are a public green street, a hillside park, a north hill park, pocket parks, an outdoor amphitheater, a central plaza with a rotary, along with clean sheltered sitting areas, water fountains, and restroom facilities. It will share transportation connections, like a main street, and secondary streets with neighbors. Vehicle traffic will be provided with vibrant streetscapes and pedestrians will enjoy sidewalk canopies. Back alleys have private garages. Open space preservation buffers land uses and provides common grounds. New planning approach creates a downtown village area with mixed uses at varying levels of intensity encouraging residents to get out and walk their community. . Buffer. City Villa will be a transitional community between an existing residential neighborhood to the west and the redeveloping urban center to the east. West Hill Park will buffer the western edge of the site. Building height increases from detached single family homes at the western perimeter to four story Mixed Use Core buildings that will border the District Center. Natural and landscaped open space becomes progressively more open toward the outer edges of the City Villa community, away from the District Center. . Building Types. Mixed use, mixed value housing types, including small-lot single family homes with accessory dwellings, three story town homes, brownstone walk-ups, and mid sized apartment or condominium buildings. Commercial buildings may be four stories, with offices and dwellings on upper floors, with ground floor shops and basement parking below. . Character. This community is designed to be a desirable place to live, work, learn and play, for all age groups and all physical abilities. This pedestrian scaled, mixed use - mixed income community allows for a variety of people to share a community, incorporates diverse interests and provides an attractive neighborhood with many things to see and do. . Plan Vision. A walkable "new town" development with a high quality urban-like center that provides pedestrian oriented services to surrounding neighborhoods. . Goals. Adhere to District Center Core codes for the City of Bremerton. Ensure a coherent, well-functioning, predictable and organized development pattern that is guided by public comments that have been made in stakeholder meetings and workshops, and directed by professional planners, engineers, and architects. Provide safety for pedestrians while meeting transportation needs. Providing live/work opportunities to community residents, thereby potentially increasing their income, and decreasing auto dependence. CV-3 Conceptual Site Plan Conceptual Site Plan .

The goal of the 22 acre City Villa project is to create a new urban neighborhood following traditional residential community design. The Growth Management Act of WA State has provided the framework to encourage urban infill as a method to reduce the environmental impact of increased growth facing our communities. This new urban development will meet the intent of the GMA by encouraging mixed uses and mixed incomes by creating places to work, live and play; enjoyed by residents and visitors. Finding a balance between automobiles and pedestrians that favors safety and the walking experience is one of the major goals for the design for City Villa. On-street parking provides a buffer between the sidewalk and cars in the street, and is a traffic calming feature. It also efficiently uses the space of the street for maneuvering and access to parking. Shared parking throughout the site also encourages walking to a destination, depending on where parking is available. The architecture of the buildings is envisioned to have a transitional look and feel that combines traditional favorites such as street facing front porches with modern window shopping around the corner in the village square. A strict '1raditional" appearance will not be enforced, but quality architecture with traditional elements will be fostered to create feelings of comfort and safety for all who will know this neighborhood as a good place to go to and as a good place to be. 1. General site a. Anticipated block configurations are as outlined in proposed site plan. b. Sidewalks and street trees shall be provided throughout the site as shown. c. Commercial signage shall meet the BMC unless more restrictive requirements are adopted by the City Villa Owner's Association (to be formed) d.

The Zoning Code will add reference in BMC 20.80.080 to activate the Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan as development regulations for the area. I. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Project Description The Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area covers a 106 acre site in East Bremerton containing a range of existing commercial structures, and two separate 20+ acre tracts of undeveloped land. Wheaton-Riddell was designated a District Center in the 2004 Comprehensive Plan. Extensive community and stakeholder meetings were held on the Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan between the Fall of 2006 and the present. The Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan was created in partnership between the City of Bremerton and Eberharter Architects, a project proponent for the City Villa development. The Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan is somewhat unique because the process was driven by a design team with development interest in a specific location within the Sub Area (City Villa). However, because Sub Area urban design must function for the district as a whole the design team was required to partner with the City to review and plan for the full extent of the District Center. The Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan details the 2004 Comprehensive Plan. Urban Design concepts and development regulations are included to ensure consistency with the goals, policies and descriptive statements in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Procedural History A public participation process for the Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan has been ongoing since Fall of 2006. The Sub Area Plan includes documentation of the Public Design Process (Pgs. 11-6 - 11-10). A series of public open houses, and public workshop type meetings were held during various stages of the planning process. To solicit public participation notice was mailed to residents within 1,000 ft. of the site, published in the Kitsap Sun, and publicized through other outlets. Participation for the Sub-Area Plan has met and exceeded that required per BMC 20.80. Meetings were held as listed below. Bremerton Planning Commission 2.1 Public Open House #1 - 9/5/2006 2.2 Public Workshop #2 - 10/14/2006 2.3 Public Workshop #3 - 10/24/2006 2.4 Transportation Stakholders Meeting - 11/30/2006 2.5 Public Open House #4 - 7/31/2007 Bremerton Planning Commission 2.6 Hearing: August 21, 2007. 3. Public Comment Numerous individuals, groups, and agencies provided comments at public workshops, community meetings, and via comment cards and letters. Comments received were considered and used to develop the draft plan that was submitted to the City on August 13, 2007. Record of participants in community meetings is provided in Exhibit A to this Planning Commission Findings of Fact and Conclusion. A general summary of public participation is documented on pages 11-6 - 11-10 of the Sub Area Plan. 4. SEPA Determination and Environmental Review Adoption of development regulations and amendments to the Comprehensive Plan require evaluation of environment impacts through the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan is a non-project action considering general planning level items and land use regulations. A SEPA checklist has been prepared with the Sub Area Plan submittal. The City issued a determination of non- significance (DNS), which is in the public comment and appeals process at the time of Planning Commission review. Since development is within the parameters set forth in the 2004 Comprehensive Plan no additional environmental impact was found with adoption of the more detailed Plan element and development standards. Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations also require a 60 day State Agency Review and Comment Period. The document has been forwarded to state agencies and the review period commenced on July 18th, 2007. At the time of preliminary plat application and building permits for the City Villa project a project level SEPA review will be required. The project level review considers project level impacts such as grading and stormwater conveyance etc. 5. Comprehensive Plan Consistency Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan shall meet the decision criteria outlined in BMC 20.10. 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 Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan to the Bremerton Comprehensive Plans as an amendment, providing more specific and detailed planning for the area. 2 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 type dense housing stock. It meets the open space and recreation goal by creating green streets, and a coordinated open space 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 Wheaton Riddell Sub Area Plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation of District Center. Pages 11-4 and 11-5 identify specific goals and policies of the 2004 Bremerton Comprehensive Plan that are met by this proposal for Wheaton-Riddell. Specific policies directly implemented are found in the Land Use, Community Character, Transportation, Housing and Environment elements of the Comprehensive Plan. 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 Center districts, 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 Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan is compatible with adopted District Center 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 Wheaton-Riddell 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 and policies, especially in the areas of Community Character (CC) and Land Use (LU), by promoting vibrant, cohesive neighborhoods, that are transit supportive. 3 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 Wheaton-Riddell 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 ii-4 and ii-5 of the Sub Area Plan. The Wheaton-Riddell 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 Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area plan does not conflict with any other regulations. II. CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION Based on the findings above, the Planning Commission concludes that the Wh~aton- Riddell 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 20.80. Therefore the Commission recommends the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to include the Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan and an amendment to the zoning code text in BMC 20.80 to include the Ordinance number of the Wheaton-Riddell Sub Area Plan.

We recognize the substantial investment of time, energy, and resources that this document represents, and we appreciate the opportunity to comment. We are impressed by improvements being proposed in the sub-area plan to improve traffic circulation. As noted in the plan, SR 303 (Wheaton Way) is a major commuter route, as such it is important to WSDOT that traffic mobility and safety are maintained. We support the plan's ideas of strong access management, interconnectivity of adjacent neighborhood roadways, transit queue jumps, and bicycle lanes built off the state highway, all of which would appear to be consistent with the objectives of the 2002 SR 303 Corridor Study. Bremerton is proposing to create a system of frontage roads adjacent to SR 303, the concept of developing frontage roads is one that WSDOT supports. However, no traffic analysis has been done to demonstrate its capability. We have reviewed the traffic impact analysis for the City Villa portion of the plan and have no issues with \ the analysis results; however, it addresses only the City Villa portion. While WSDOT is supportive of the frontage roads concept, we would like to see the analysis conducted to determine how well SR 303 along with the frontage roads will accommodate traffic demand. Reference page ill-8, we recommend that the term "suicide lane" be deleted and replaced with "two-way turn lane". WSDOT does not feel the use of such jargon is appropriate and could raise legal issues for the department. Mr. Wentlandt 9/1212007 Page 2 of 2 Again, thank you for the opportunity to participate in the study process as well as review and comment on the proposed sub area plan.

Wabsite: www.kitsaptransit.orQ Geoffrey Wentlandt From: Andy Kosusko [AKosusko@rfmarch.com] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 11:41 AM To: Geoffrey Wentlandt Cc: Pam Ransier Subject: Wheaton-Riddell Sub-Area Plan Geoff- I've read through the draft Sub-Area plan. It looks great! I have a couple of comments though. 1. In Section II, under Comprehensive Plan Consistency (11-5), you list goals for land use and community character but not transportation, environment, etc. I know, at least for transportation that there were some very specific goals regarding this area. I'm sure for others that there were too. We should add these to show the full breadth of Comp Plan goals that this Sub-Area plan fulfills. 2. Page 11-9 discusses Green and Re-Green the District. How about adding a bullet point saying "Promote high performance/sustainable building practices"? 3. Page 11-17, No. 10 LID: It looks like we're requiring LID for City Villa but not in the rest of the district. We should at least promote (if not require) in the rest of the district. The status quo as far as impermeability is not acceptable for the redevelopment of this area. . 4. Page 111-5, F. Focus Entry: The idea of providing a "safe and pleasant pedestrian connection" is a good one. I'm not sure how this actually happens though unless we add pedestrian over or underpasses or at least a substantial island refuge in the center of Wheaton Way. Is DOT going to allow the stoppage of traffic necessary to allow a pleasant and safe cross-walk? 5. Page WF-7, D. Frontage Road: In the first paragraph it says that these requirements apply to the building facade length. Shouldn't this apply to the parcel length? Otherwise, I think we'll get bike paths, for example, that don't reach parcel lines. Right? 6. Page WF-7, D. (6) Ped Lighting: In general, I think that we should add a dark sky requirement calling for at least partial cut-off if not full cut-off fixtures in the whole district. 7. General comment on development standards - Are these subject to Design Review or is this all administrative? As a district center, I would think that we'd want to have some Design Review/Guidelines. 8. General comment on signage requirements - Multiple choices are given. How do you know which one applies? 9. Page IV.SI-2, Infill & Refill: Height discussed at 50' but is shown as 55' in F(1) later. 10. Page IV.SI-3: What does the note on the figure mean? 11. Page IV.SI-5, D. Improvements: In WF the private pavement was listed as per commercial standards but "commercial" is not included here or later in the document. Is that intentional? 12. General Comment - Who is responsible for the Mid-Site and Site Interiors roads? They are listed for all three areas. 13. Page CV-12, 5 Allowances: How about adding preferred parking for Carpools and alternative fuels vehicles? That's it. Thanks for putting together a great plan! Andy Andrew Kosusko, Architect.

Lake Attorney at Law clake@qoodsteinlawcom July 27, 2007 Registered N/ail and Regular Mail Geoffrey Wentlandt Department of Community Development City Planner 345 6th Street Suite 600 Bremerton W A 98337 Re: Open House - July 31, 2007 Comments on the Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan Dear Mr. Wentlandt: Thank you for your letter invitation to the City's Planned July 31, 2007 Open House for Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan. My client is a property owner within the boundaries of the Sub Area Plan. We understand that after the Open House, the Planning Commission and City Council will review and consider the Plan for possible action. Please include these offered comments in the record for this matter. My client owns the property including the site identified in the Plan as the "East Edge Focus Area," consisting of two tax parcels of about 20.2 acres. The site has undergone significant regulatory shifts, in the recent years, which the Sub Area plan appears to continue. The property owner has the following concerns. 1. Raises Unrealistic Public Expectations. The Plan's emphasis for depressed development activity within the site ignores that the majority of the property is currently vested to the former General Commercial zone designation. The North 13 of the 20 acres is the subject of a commercial Planned Unit Development, which the propeliy owners havt: every intention of completing. The Plan's emphasis of extensive forest buffers and public green gathering places sets up a public expectation that will not be met in light of the owner's planned and vested commercial use, and invites' unnecessary active public opposition to the owner's lawful use. 2, SulHtantial Down Zone. Tl1\; Sub Area Plan lS a substantia! do\vn zone of the site. Before the City's recent mterim x.one dl~mgi~ th,:; site was zoned General Commercial. Commercial uses border the entire City of Bremerton Open House - July 31, 2007 Comments on the Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan July 24, 2007 - 2 - length of the site to the West. By recent action, the area was given interim zoning designation of R-l 0 (low density Residential). The proposed Sub Area extends the property's down zone even further by imposing design and development standards intended to "green and re-green" the area, and greatly limits active development. 3. Disproportionate Public Green Space & Trail Contribution By One Property Owner. The Plan itself aptly describes its design and development standards for this area as a "significant departure" from the existing interim R-l O. My client questions the legality and policy decision of requiring one lone property owner to bear the burden of providing the area's intended public green spaces and trail development. For example, via the Sub Area Plan, the City seeks an "East Edge Forrest Buffer" with an average forest (perimeter yard) buffer of 150 feet. The setback standards for this focus area are vastly disproportionate to the vested setback standards, and even for the balance of properties within the Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area: . PUD setback: 15-20 feet per former BMC 21.02.490 Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area: No setback except 15 feet where the site is adjacent to R-l 0 zone, per Review Draft 6/07 EE Development Standards, Section E and F. While it may be suggested that the amount of open space required under the PUD approximates the square footage encumbered by the proposed Forrest Buffer, this argument overlooks the fact that the property owner retains a degree of flexibility when designing the Open Space areas under the PUD scheme; while the site's unusable area if designated as Forrest Buffer is fixed, to the detriment of marketable site design and use. The Sub Area Plan also burdens this one site with a proposed "Green Gathering Area," to be a minimum size of 1 acre, to include "furniture for use by the public", and to be "dedicated as an open space tract or trallsferred to ownership by a pubic Parks and recreation agency". See Review Draft 6/07 EE Development Standards, Section A (2) (a). In addition, the Sub Area Plan calls for this site to provide a "pathway or walkway open to the public connecting at a minimum Riddell Road, providing linkage to the Illahee Preserve, the Clemens S1. terminus, and the Green Gathering Area." See Review Draft 6/07 EE Development Standards, Section A (2) (b). Washington Courts have repeatedly held that public trails and green spaces are amenities the costs of which costs are to be borne by the public at large, and not by anyone particular property o\vner. The e,'(ceptioI1 is vyher\~ the imposing jurisdiction Ciln cstabli:in through an individualized analysis that the rr:quested amenity is "reasonably neceS:Wf)' as :)707:Z4 Itr BrC:I,lertOn planner (J).doc City of Bremerton Open House - July 31,2007 Comments on the Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan July 24, 2007 - 3 - a direct result of the proposed development or plat," Vintage Constr. Co., 83 Wash.App. at 611-12, 922 P.2d 828, opinion adopted in Vintage Constr. Co., 135 Wash.2d 833,959 P.2d 1090; Trimen, 124 Wash.2d at 275, 877 P.2d 187; Henderson Homes, 124 Wash.2d at 242-44,877 P.2d 176. Without the required individualized development assessment, the Washington Supreme Court rejects that broad legislative enactments, such as requirements for the Green Gathering Place, the 150 forrest buffer or the Trail Linkage requirements contained in the proposed Sub Area Plan are a valid means to impose public amenities. Isla Verde Int'! Holdings v. City ofCamas, 146 Wn.2d 740,751-52,49 P.3d 867 (2002) (rejecting 30 % open space set asides), and Benchmark Land Co. v. City of Battle Ground, 146 \Vn.2d 685, 694,49 P.3d 860 (2002). 4. Planned Amenities and Field Conditions Don't Mesh. Even if the onerous Sub Area development requirements equId withstand legal scrutiny, the planned amenities are inconsistent with actual field conditions. The area of the planned trail contains significant grade differences, making a public trail system impracticable. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. We welcome continued dialogue with the City to achieve realistic, fair and progressive development standards for this site. Sincerely, Goodstein Law Group PLLC Carolyn A.

However, I am submitting a few concerns and comments for your consideration. 1. Can you address the e-gress and in-gress from your project to Almira Drive? 2. How will this impact the traffic at the misalignment that exists at the intersection of Riddell Road and Almira Drive, N.E ? This is A dangerous intersection. It's posted at<35 mph but I am sure most traffic moves much faster. There have been numerous accidents here two of which were injury accidents. On two different occasions one of the vehicles crashed through my fence into my yard. There are no barriers of any sort to prevent this from happening again. Close calls happen regularly. At times I feel as though they will crash into the house, especally at night. my wife and I have lived here for 39 years. We have seen a lot of consruction over the years. But when it was all said and done we were left with this unplanned misaligned intersection. May I hear from you? . ,c: ("J ~.' . _, .:."<- . \/,X:, i:~ I Bernie E. Stanton " -~ 4460 Almira dr.

MEMORANDUM To: Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan Project Team From: Geoff Wentlandt Date: December 11, 2006 Re: Transportation Meeting Summary This memorandum summarizes the meeting with Transportation Stakeholders held on November 30,2006 on the Wheaton - Riddell Sub Area Plan. Present at the meeting were George Kovich of WSDOT, Dick Hayes of Kitsap Transit, members of the Eberharter Design team, the Bremerton City Engineer and DCD. The primary topics of conversation were the long term configuration and improvements to Wheaton Way, and the possibility of a signalized intersection in the center of the Wheaton - Riddell District Center. . On WSDOT SR 303 Corridor Study Generally a The Study will guide WSDOT long term improvements for Wheaton Way. a The Corridor study was not an EIS. a No preliminary design was done as part of Corridor study. a Additional funding is needed to bring the Corridor study up to a preliminary design level and to conduct an EIS. (Funding request has been made, but no funding for the study is in the pipeline.) . On SR 303 Corridor Characteristics a SR 303 Corridor is overwhelmingly a commuter corridor with higher volumes of trips going southbound in the AM (to ferry terminal) and northbound in the PM (from ferry terminal). a Because it is a commuter corridor, WSDOT will emphasize the need for throughput. I) On SR 303 Conidor Improvements ~.., Corridor Plan calls for extensive access control, six laneS, vvith the outer lanes as Transit only durin\] peak hours. DRAFT o Corridor improvements are likely to be phased in over time. (Eg. not implemented as one large capital improvement project.) . On A Center Signalized Intersection o The center intersection may be allowable, but might be a challenge because it is close to the existing intersection at Hollis. o Impact of the center traffic signal on flow will have to be evaluated to determine if the light is allowable. o To some extent the decision about whether to allow a traffic light at the center intersection is up to the City, since it is within City Limits. o Any center intersection would have to meet WSDOT safety standards, which are slightly more stringent than ASHTO. (Eg. a turn pocket without a traffic signal may not meet safety standards.) . Kitsap Transit o Kitsap Transit will implement a first class Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in the corridor in the long run with a station at Wheaton / Riddell. o Kitsap Transit will likely run local connector buses (east / west) from the station location. o BRT busses could include innovative features to work with the station design such as: buses that unload on both sides to accommodate frontage Rd. loading / unloading. o Kitsap Transit will seek to implement the same technology in the SR303 corridor that will be implemented in the SR305 corridor, which is currently under review. o Kitsap Transit will seek to support transit oriented development at the station location. . Feedback on Design Team Proposals o WSDOT can support consolidation of curb cuts and the center median since these features are consistent with the long term improvement plan per the SR 303 Corridor Study. o Kitsap Transit is supportive of design alternatives allowing for bus loading and unloading zones that provide refuge from traffic flow and allow for easy re- entry into traffic. (This could include the frontage roads, dedicated transit / turn lanes, and/or queuing lanes.) o Since transportation improvements will be phased in over time - WSDOT may support the frontage road proposal as an interim phase in the long term improvement of the corridor. The frontage road (on private property) could reserve space in the interim which may at some future time be converted to Right of Way if necessary. Therefore the frontage Rd. concept could feed into vVSDOT's long term plan for the corridor. Center median and access control features could be the earlier stages of . Page 2 DRAFT roadway improvement. . Next Steps o WSDOT and City of Bremerton engineer will review the traffic impacts of adding a signalized center intersection and get back to the team with the findings. o WSDOT traffic personnel will review the team's design proposal for frontage roads and access control and provide feedback and suggestions to the project team on design and configuration. o The project team will revise the design proposals, and bring the proposal to a more refined and comprehensive level based on input from WSDOT and the City engineer in the final Sub Area Plan. o WSDOT will inquire about the concept of allowing for an interim phase of corridor improvement, that would accommodate the frontage road concept as an interim phase that could at some future time transition to Right of Way. . Outcomes I Products o City adopts a preferred design concept for" phased Wheaton I Riddell improvements that have received 'buy-in' from WSDOT and Kitsap Transit. o WSDOT makes formal comments documenting support for design concept at the time of Sub Area Plan approval. o Kitsap Transit makes formal comments documenting support for design concept at the time of Sub Area Plan approval. o In a future phase Kitsap Transit may assist with a transit oriented development at the Center - including potential requests for funding in partnership with development. o WSDOT incorporates design concept from Sub Area Plan in the next phase of design (EIS) for the SR 303 Corridor. . Pag8 3 Wheaton-Riddell District Center Sub Area Planning Community Workshop #2: October 24, 2006 Public Comments Transcribed from Flip Charts The community workshop was held on October 24, 2006 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Norm Dicks Government Building in Bremerton. This was the third in a series of public meetings focused on sub area planning for the ~rheaton-Riddell area. Twenty-five citizens joined with ten members from the City of Bremerton, Eberharter Architects, Jones & Stokes, and Larson Casteel Landscape Architects to review site plan concepts developed at the October 14 community workshop. The following comments were gathered from two flip charts at the meeting: . No development in i\'1erit Corp. green space on east side Concerned about location of Wheaton Way crossing Would like to see a trail system similar in scope to Silverdale's Clear Creek Trail Large publicly-owned plaza surrounded by buildings not parking and streets Concern about traffic impact to residential area if Riddell Road is widened (even if only for a short distance) Pursue conservation zone for Merit Corp. parcel Preserve views for people in existing residential areas Observe height limits; residents don't want to look at the backs of houses and commercial buildings Comprehensive Plan - adhere to CCIB (fit the neighborhood, keeping new buildings at a similar scale) Buffers should be comprised of mature trees Concern about traffic impacts on west neighborhood streets, especially Monarch Lane and Pine Road going north and south Beware of traffic by-pass routes Adequate tree buffer between mixed-use area and residential on west border Duplication of facility amenities already in existence (ice rink, Yl\ICA) Consider middle-age youth needs as well . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This was the second in a series of public meetings focused on sub area planning for the Wheaton-Riddell area. Seventeen citizens joined with twelve members from the City of Bremerton, Eberharter Architects, Jones & Stokes, Larson Casteel Landscape Architects, and Bannon Engineering to brainstorm ideas and approaches to creating a \valkable, dense center that supports the residents in the surrounding neighborhoods and auto-oriented commercial uses. The audience broke up into three teams to focus on four main topics of transportation, landscape, commercial area, and housing areas. The objective was to work together to see hO\v different ideas for each of the focus areas could be fit together to meet the ultimate goal of a walkable, dense district center. Each team created a conceptual site plan and captured ideas and concerns. The following are the ideas and concerns n0ted on flip charts at each group station: Group #1 · Concern pedestrian/bike underpass - safety . Create connection pedestrian/bike across Wheaton Way . Consider commercial clusters and provide parking nearby . Street trees, green buffer between roadway and pedestrian path . Consider sky bridge enclosed and attached to buildings with elevators · Proximity /walking distance to grocery store · \Valkable community . A wnings for buildings - protecting from elements . \XTiden Riddell Road to provide access to commercial or new residential . Create new street along west edge of green space ~ferit Corp) . Create new street between City Villa site/gravel pit and mall area . Consider U-turn lanes along \XTheaton Way .

I agree that there should be a variety of housing, but please let's have architectural types other than neo- Victorian. This is a change to do something really creative. Comment Card 2 (mailed in after the open house) Phil and Trish Carpenter 4115 Westview Dr NE Bremerton, W A 98310 pcrpntr@comcast.net We were disappointed that the l'vlerit Company did not have a representative at the meeting. Our backyard faces Almira and we are concerned about the 'woods' and the increased traffic on Hollis and Almira. Over the past several years we have heard various plans for the Merit Property but it remains an eyesore. We certainly hope there will be trees left as a buffer to the business development. Except for the uncertainty of what will happen along Almira. We felt the meeting was informative and we look forward to seeing a positive change for our area. It is good to know that we are a part of the New Bremerton. Comment Card 3 (mailed in after the open house) Christine Mathiasen 1853 NE Rustic Lane Bremerton, WA 98310 First I would like to commend you for making a planning commitment. That \,(/heaton Way is in the middle of the area is a big drawback. \X/ould a pedestrian overpass be desirable? There was no mention of the Open House in the (Kitsap] Sun, so more efforts on publicity would be good. Personally I would like to see a real square a la Europe and ~Iexico.

Planning Commission Meeting April 17, 2007 Page 1 of 5 DRAFT FOR APPROVAL ON 91\8/07 Commissioner Cockburn asked if there were any comments from citizens. Seeing none, he closed this portion of the meeting. B. 1. Public Hearinl! - Wheaton/Riddell Sub-area Plan: Using a Power Point slideshow, Geoff Wentlandt, City Planner, presented the Wheaton/Riddell Sub-area Plan which included the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment, an amendment to BMC Chapter 20.80, as well as development standards/zoning for the 106-acre area located south of Riddell Road and east and west of Wheaton Way. Paul Eberharter, Eberharter Architects, Inc., gave a presentation of the proposed "City Villas" development. His slideshow gave a detailed description of the layout of this residential/mixed use neighborhood. This development is located south of Riddell Road and west of Wheaton Way. Commissioner Hoell asked Mr. Eberharter what were the numbers oflow-, medium-, and high- density residential units are. Mr. Eberharter did not llavethe Immbers with'hi~, but thought they could be found in the presentation brochure distributed to each commissIoner prior to this meeting. ' .,l';' ':':. Chairman Cockburn asked if there were any comments from the public on thi~ item. Seeing none, he closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Streissguth asked if th~ boundaries of this sub-area plan matched the designated center outlined in the ComprehensiveYlan; Gc:off W entlandt ~aid that the boundaries were almost identical with the exception of aparcd thiitwasinc1udediri the Comprehensive Plan map but was actually outside of the city limits: ", . Chairman Cockb!)tn noted errors in Section II, page 13, #3 and #7 (the words "east" and "west" were transposed). ' . . ,- . . - -, . Commissioner Strei~~g,utb~'~t~d to know if the "Next Steps" for traffic improvement from WSDOTh~,cl..been foilow~d; 'up' on'iitid;iIlcqtporated into this sub-area plan. The first item was signalization at'the Center intersection. Mike Mecham, City Engineer, discussed the options ' , reviewed in the meeting with W~DOT; the decision was to leave the signal at the intersection of Hollis Street and Whec<;lton Way, ,and to add "right in, right out" and a left turn lane off of Wheaton Way into either,side of *e commercial areas. The second, item frol11~; the WSDOT meeting was Frontage Roads and Access Control. Commissioner Streissguth wanted to know how viable a frontage road would be in the long run in the event WSDOT condemned the frontage setback to make room to make Wheaton Way six- lanes wide. Geoff Wentlandt explained that WSDOT realized that, although their goal is to have a six-lane route. from Bremerton to Silverdale, budget restraints dictate that this type of improvement would have to be accomplished in phases over time. WSDOT has a level of comfort with the proposed sub-area plan's design for a frontage road with larger setbacks. Commissioner Streissguth expressed concern with WSDOT's response, especially the possibility that the frontage road could be condemned to make way for another state route lane shortly after the improvements to Wheaton Way had been completed. Mike Mecham explained that WSDOT is aware that budgeting for a major improvement like widening a state route can take ten to twenty years and therefore are comfortable with the frontage road concept to mitigate the potential increase in traffic as a result of additional commercial and residential development. Geoff added that the design would ensure an ample sidewalk area in front of the businesses even if WSDOT were to condemn the frontage road for additional traffic lanes. He explained that the Planning Commission Meeting April 17, 2007 Page 2 of 5 DRAFT FOR APPROVAL ON 9/18/07 frontage roads were not intended to mitigate traffic; the commercial buildings can be accessed from the interior of the development, thus reducing the amount of traffic entering and exiting in front of the buildings. Andrea Spencer, Director of Community Development, added that the frontage roads were included into the development design with the prior knowledge that WSDOT plans on increasing the number of lanes along that stretch of Wheaton Way, but would not be able to implement that improvement for many years; the frontage roads would act as a place holder for that future development. Commissioner Cockburn asked why parking for the Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) was not included in the parking plan. Geoff acknowledged that the parking ratio was on the low side, but explained that the plan for this development was to be proactive in encouraging the residents and customers to own fewer vehicles and to use public transportation or other forms oftransportation. He used urban areas such as Capitol Hill in Seattle as an example of multi-unit residential structures with no off-street parking. . Commissioner Streissguth expressed concern regarding the language in a report from Kitsap Transit outlining their plan for future bus service ts>the Wheaton/Riddell arear, Qeoff pointed out a clause in the City Villa's development plan outllr}ing the ability for the develop)r1e.(lt to convert area set aside for townhomes to surface parking if the need ~rises during a phased~'construction. The City can also the development to provide m~r~ Rark,ihg'lf it becomes apparent that the parking ratio is too low. This would be a condition ofth~)uilding permits for future phases of the development. . Commissioner Kosusko asked about pedestrian access across. Wheaton Way if no signal is installed midway between Riddell Road and Hollis Street. Geoffexplained that there would be signals at both Riddell and Hollis and proposed induding a note in the plan regarding a pedestrian crossing near.the mid-block point.; Mike Mec.ham spoke on the possibility of using overpasses or underPasses, but explained th~t the cost could be prohibitive as well as how a crossing at mid-block could ini~rrupt the flow of traffic. Commissioner Streiss~uth ~S~t::q ~taff is the !egal department had seen a letter written by an attornex n::pres~nting a.lifopeity ow~er()n, the east edge of the development. There was concern regarding ~the development standards, specifically required buffering, in the proposed sub-area plan. Staff met with the property owner, Carl Zarelli of Merit Corporation, after the draft of the ,stllJ-area plan was r(;::l~(lsed. Merit Corporation's application for development was submitted . . before any changes were made to the zoning and is therefore vested under a different set of developplent standards btJt will still have to have their POO go through a review process and be approved~y the Hearing~xaminer and City Council. Chairman Cockburn asked, since the east side of Wheaton Way used to be a marsh, were there any water problems, and if so, were they resolved? Paul Eberharter explained that when the existing building was originally built, the stream that flowed into the marsh was redirected into a two-foot diameter culvert and moved downhill toward the bay. Currently, there are stormwater measures in place. Chairman Cockburn's concerns stemmed from a recent development in Northgate (North Seattle) where the developer is being pressured to reopen a stream that had been covered by a past development. Commissioner Streissguth asked why a Determination of Non-significance was issued if the increased traffic could affect the surrounding neighborhoods. Geoff explained that the sub-area plan used the Comprehensive Plan's projection of acceptable increased traffic for that area. A SEP A will be required when a plat plan is submitted for permitting. Planning Commission Meeting April 17, 2007 Page 3 of 5 ~' DRAFT FOR APPROVAL ON 9/1 8/07 Chairman Cockburn commented that several citizens had expressed concern at the Open House for this sub-area plan regarding the traffic that will increase on Riddell Road. Mike Mecham said that it would be addressed at the time of permitting with a traffic analysis. GeotI said that a traffic study had already been completed and was included with the sub-area plan and it called for an additional left-hand inbound lane from Riddell Road into the development. Echoing Chainnan Cockburn's concerns, Commissioner Streissguth stressed the importance of traftic mitigation. Commissioner Wheeler suggested looking at other jurisdictions that may have had the same situation with the need for additional pedestrian crossings in a redevelopment area. Paul Eberharter and several commissioners agreed that pedestrian crossings are an integral part of the success of this redevelopment. Andrea suggested additional language in the motion to address the need for pedestrian connectivity in the sub-area plan. A motion was made by Commissioner Kennedy and seconded by Commissioner Kosusko for the Planning Commission to approve the Findings & Conclusjons presented in Attachment III; to recommend to City Council to add the WheatonlRid~dl' Sub-Area Plan as, ~n element of the Comprehensive Plan per Attachment I; to amend:i;oning code Chapter 2(t8cq:to activate the development regulations of the WheatonlRiddell Sub;Area Plan p~r Attachment lI(to ~IDphasize in the plan that there is a long term need for a capitid iDfp~oveme~t project for ped~strian crossing between district center halves and have that pedestrian crossi.ilg be located somewhere between Riddell Road and Hollis Street; and to correct items #3 and #7 on Section II page 13. Called for a vote: Commissioner Hoell: Yes; Commissioner Kennedy:'Yes; Commissioner Kosusko: Yes; Commissioner Mosiman: Yes; Commissioner Streissguth: Yes; Comilii~sioner Wheeler: Yes; Chairman Cockburn: Yes.
