SUBJECT:
Kitsap YMCA Concession Amendment
SUMMARY: The City provides access to the Jarstad Aquatic Center for Kitsap YMCA member during
public hours as part of their current concession agreement. Reductions in 2009 part-time labor expense
have resulted in elimination of weekend hours at the facility. Representatives from the YMCA have been in
contact with the City to develop an agreement that would restore weekend pool access for YMCA members
and the general public. Under the proposed agreement, the YMCA would pay the City the net cost for
staffing the pool on weekends during 2009. In exchange, the YMCA would receive future credit through a
partial reduction in the annual CPI adjustment identified in the City-YMCA Concession Agreement. The
proposed Concession Modification Agreement would amend Section 8a of the concession agreement that
addresses the annual concession fee paid to the City. The proposed amendment would allow the City to
waive the CPI inflator until such time that the proposed payment from the YMCA is reimbursed.

YMCA members and the general public. Under the proposed agreement, the YMCA would pay the City the
net cost for staffmg the pool on weekends during 2009. In exchange, the YMCA would receive future credit
through a partial reduction in the annual CPI adjustment identified in the City-YMCA Concession
Agreement.

SUMMARY: In 2007 the City Council adopted the Westpark Sub-Area Plan - this plan
implemented the vision established in the 2004 Comprehensive Plan for the Westpark site. Since the
time of plan adoption, Bremerton Housing Authority (BHA) has continued to evaluate the site's
opportunities and physical constraints, along with changing economic and market conditions, and
financial requirements for redevelopment, and has determined that modifications to the adopted sub-
area plan and development regulations are required to enable redevelopment to be economically
viable. These sub-area plan changes will require amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan. In
September 2008, BHA received a 20-million dollar HOPE VI grant from HUD to support
redevelopment of the Westpark (now called "Bay Vista") site, and the conditions of that grant require
that all redevelopment activities be completed, inclusive of all permitting and construction, within 54
months of grant award. The Director of Community Development recommends that the City Council
declare an emergency, pursuant to BMC 20.10.050(e), to allow an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan outside of the annual cycle to allow updates to the Bay Vista Sub-Area Plan. This declaration is
necessary because any delay, loss of funding, and continuation of blighted conditions at this site
would be contrary to the public health and safety and to the best interests of the City's citizens.

A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Bremerton,
Washington, finding that an emcrgcncy cxists pursuant to BMC
20.1 O.050( e) requiring an immediate amendment to the City of
Bremerton Comprchcnsive Plan outside of the annual process regarding
the Bay Vista (formerly calkd "Westpark") Sub-Area Plan.
WHEREAS, the City passed Resolution Nos. 1730 and 2117 and Ordinance No. 4830
designating blightcd areas, and made findings that redevelopment of these areas are necessary in the
interest of public health, safety, morals and welfare of the residents of Bremerton; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted Ordinance No. 4873 designating Westpark as a blighted'
area and reaffirmed the City's community renewal program; and
WHEREAS, the City reaffirmed its intention to cooperate with and assist the Housing
Authority of the City of Bremerton (BHA) in redevelopment of the Westpark site, and to provide a
framework for redevelopment in the City's Comprehensive Pla,n and zoning reb'1llations; and
WHEREAS, the City passed Ordinance No.4917 designating the Westpark site as a
Public Sector Redevelopment Site (PSRS) in the 2004 Comprehensive Plan major update which indicated
that the site possessed significant potential for redevelopment and that it provides a unique opportunity to
benefit the community; and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan requires that a sub-area plan be prepared for PSRS-
designated properties, which plan must involve the community in its preparation, be consistent with
Comprehensive Plan goals and policies, and contain development standards and design guidelines; and
WHEREAS, in 2007, following extensive community involvement, public hearings and
environmental review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEP A) and the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEP A), the City Council passed Ordinance No. 4998 adopting a sub-area plan
for the Westpark site which amended the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the BHA has renamed the site and proposed redevelopment project Bay
V ista; and
WHEREAS, the BHA has continued to evaluate the site's opportunities and physical
constraints, along with changing economic and market conditions, and financial requirements for

Emergency Comprehem;;ve Plan Amendment
WHEREAS, consistent with the Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A130(2)(b)), the
City has adopted development regulations which limit amendment of the Comprehensive Plan to one time
per year, except when an emergency is found to exist or in other limited circumstances (B1\IIC
20.10.OSO(e)); and
WlnIERE:AS, delay in amending the sub-area plan would extend review and permitting of
redcvelopment and commencement of construction, which would threaten the viability of the Bay Vista
redevelopment,jcopardize the availability of the HOPE VI grant funds, and perpetuate the blighted
conditions that effect ~he site and the neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, such delay, loss offunding, and continuation of blighted conditions would
be contrary to the public health, safety, and welfare and such delay would not be in the best interests of
the citizens of the City of Bremerton, therefore constituting an emergency situation pursuant to BMC

Bay Vista site. Immediate action by the City is required to avoid significant threats to the viability of

conditions that affect the site. This emergency warrants an out of cycle amendment of the City's
Comprehensive Plan, consistent with the Growth Management Act and adopted City reb'Ulations pursuant
to BMC 20.1 0.050( e). The,: City Council therefore authorizes the processing of an out of cycle
Comprehensive Plan amendment for Bay Vista.

MEMORANDUM
To: City Council
From: Lindsey Sehmel, Long Range Planner
Date: December 10, 2008
Re: Fire Station #2 Rezone
This action is to rezone the 1.4 acres of land located at 5005 Arsenal Way (a City Fire Station
adjacent to the Westpark Development) from "City Utility Land" (CUL) to "Master Development" (MD).
This action is required to make the City's Zoning fully consistent with the recently changed
Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the site to "Public Sector Redevelopment Site"
(PSRS). The Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) "Comprehensive Plan / Zoning Consistency" table in
Figure 20.40(b) lists the zoning districts that are consistent with the PSRS designation. The three
consistent zoning districts are:
· Low Density Residential (R-1 0), or
· Master Development (MD), or
. Institutional (INST)
As you will see from the above list the current zoning of the site of CUL is not consistent with the land
use designation of PSRS and a rezone is required to be fully compliant with the Comprehensive
Plan. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan amendment docket, passed by City Council on October 15,
2008 by Ordinance No. 5062, contained the land use designation change for this site and therefore
created this inconsistency. City staff has initiated this rezone action to resolve the inconsistency
within as short a time period as possible since the adoption of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan
Amendment docket.
Rezone actions are classified by the BMC as a "Type IV City Council Decision" whereby the City's
Hearing Examiner holds the open-record public hearing, creates the official public record for the
rezone, and provides a recommendation to the City Council. The Hearing Examiner conducted the
public hearing on November 24, 2008 and issued a recommendation of rezone to MD on December
9, 2008 (see Exhibit A of the proposed ordinance for the Examiner's recommendation, findings and
conclusions). MD zoning is the preferred designation for this subject property because of its
adjacency to the Westpark (now called "Bay Vista") redevelopment site which also is zoned MD and
has the comprehensive plan land use designation of PSRS.
Staff recommends that the Council conduct a closed-record public hearing, consider the record and
recommendation prepared by the Hearing Examiner, and approve the rezone to MD for the property
located at 5005 Arsenal Way.

FINDINGS
1. Lindsey Sehmel, on behalf of the City of Bremerton Department of Community
Development (Applicant), requests a rezone of 1.4 acres zoned City Utility Lands
(CUL) to Master Development (MD). The property subject to the rezone request
is located at 5005 West Arsenal Way2 in Bremerton, Washington,3 Exhibit 3;
Exhibit 12, Staff Analysis, page 1.
2. The City of Bremerton (City) determined the application was complete on October 21,
2008. On October 24,2008, the City gave combined notice of the application and the
open record hearing associated with the application by mailing notice to departments,
agencies, and owners of property within 300 feet of the subject property, and by posting
the combined notice on the subject propeliy.4 The City published notice of the public
hearing in the Kitsap Sun on November 5, 2008. Exhibit 8, Exhibit 9, Exhibit 11, Exhibit
12, Staff Analysis, page 2.
3. The City acted as lead agency and analyzed the environmental impact of the proposed
rezone request under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A). The City prepared a
Detennination of Non significance (DNS), dated August 16,2008, on the Comprehensive
Plan amendment for the Fire Station #2 parcel. The City determined that the
Comprehensive Plan amendment would have no impact on the environment. On October
24, 2008, the City adopted this DNS as the environmental document for the rezone
2 The Staff Analysis references the location as 5005 Arsenal Way. Lindsey Sehmel, City Long Range
Planner, testified that the location would more accurately be referenced as 5005 West Arsenal Way.
Testimony a/Ms. SehmeJ.
3 The subject property is identified by tax parcel number 162401-4-007-2004. Exhibit 3; Exhibit 12, Staff
Report, page 1. A legal description may be found in Exhibit 12, Staff Report, page I.

request. 5 The adopted DNS was not appealed. Exhibit 10; Exhibit 12, Staff Analysis,
page 1.
4. The property is an approximately 1.4-acre triangle-shaped parcel bounded by Kitsap Way
on the north, State Highway 3 on the west and West Arsenal Way running southwest to
northeast ofthe subject property. Exhibit 6; Exhibit 12, Staff Analysis, page 1. Lindsey
Sebmel, City Long Range Planner, testified that the project subject to the rezone request
contains Fire Station No.2, which was constructed in the 1970s. Testimony of Ms.
Sehmel.
5. The City Planning Commission recommended that the City Council change the City's
comprehensive plan designation of the parcel from Transportation, Utilities and Public
Facilities (TUPF) to Public Sector Redevelopment Site (PSRS) in order to meet Land Use
(LU) goals by integrating edge areas in the planning of neighborhoods, provide for
essential services, and improve pedestrian access to commercial services. Exhibit 1. In
October, 2008 the City Council approved Ordinance No. 5062, effective October 30,
2008, which changed the comprehensive plan land use designation of the parcel from
TUPF to PSRS. Exhibit 3.
6. Adjacent property to the east is currently designated PSRS under the City Comprehensive
Plan. The area to the north across Kitsap Way is designated and zoned Freeway
Commercial and contains a Dairy Queen and a Denny's. The area to the west and south
across State Highway 3 is designated Public Sector Redevelopment Site\West Park SAP
by the Comprehensive Plan and zoned Master Development - West Park Subarea Plan.
Exhibit 6; Exhibit 12, Staff Analysis, page 1.
7. Zoning classifications must be consistent with City Comprehensive Plan land use
designations. RCW Chapter 36. 70A; Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) 20.40.170. Ms.
Sehmel, testified that the parcel had mistakenly been zoned City Utility Land. The intent
of the CUL zone is to preserve resource-related functions of land, and to protect
watersheds and timberlands. The CUL zone is also intended to ensure healthy forest
cover and provide habitat for wildlife. BMC 20.96.010. Under the City's land use code,
a CUL zone is not allowed in the Comprehensive Plan's PSRS designation. Chapter
BMC 20.40, Figure 20.40(b); Exhibit 4. Due to the City Council's Comprehensive Plan
designation amendment of the parcel to PSRS, the current zoning is no longer consistent
with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Exhibit 2. The intent of the Master Development
zone is to provide large scale development by public entities that provide a clear
community benefit and for innovative development meeting unique community needs.
The MD zone is allowed in the Comprehensive Plan's PSRS designation. Testimony of
Ms. Sehmel; Chapter BMC 20.40} Figure 20.40(b); BMC 20.80.010; Exhibit 4; Exhibit
12, Staff Analysis, page 2.
5 Adoption of existing environmental documents is done under the provisions ofW AC 197-11-630.

Exhibit A
CONCLUSIONS
Jurisdiction
The Hearing Examiner has authority to conduct an open record hearing on a rezone request and
to issue a recommendation on the request to the Bremerton City Council. Bremerton Municipal
Code (BMC) 2.13.070; BMC 2.13.080(3); BMC Chapter 20.02, Table 040.
Critelia for Review
The Hearing Examiner holds the open record hearing on the rezone request and provides a
recommendation to the City Council. BMC Chapter 20.02, Table 040,' BMC 20.58.040(b). The
City may grant a site-specific rezone only if it finds that:
(1) The rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;
(2) The rezone will advance the public health, safety, or welfare, and will not have
adverse impacts on adjacent properties;
(3) The rezone is necessary because either:
(i) Conditions in the immediate vicinity or neighborhood have so markedly
changed that it is in the public interest to approve the rezone; or
(ii) The rezone will correct a zone classification or zone boundary that was
inappropriate when established; and
(4) The rezone is in the public interest.
BMC 20.58.040(d).
Conclusions Based on Findings
1. The proposed rezone would be consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan. The
City Council amended the Comprehensive Plan and changed the land use designation for
the property at 5005 West Arsenal Way from Transportation, Utilities Public Facilities
(TUPF) to Public Sector Redevelopment Site (PSRS). The parcel was previously zoned
City Utility Land by mistake. This zoning designation is not allowed under the current
Comprehensive Plan PSRS designation. The Applicant's request to change the zoning
from CUL to Master Development (MD) would be consistent with the City
Comprehensive Plan, as amended by the City Council. Findings 1-7.
2. The proposed rezone would advance the public health, safety, or welfare, and would
not have adverse impacts on adjacent properties. The City provided adequate public
notice and opportunity for comment on the rezone request. The City previously analyzed
the environmental impact of amending the property's land use designation and issued a
DNS as part of the Comprehensive Plan amendment process. The City determined that
the proposed rezone would not have a probable significant adverse impact on the
environment and adopted this existing DNS. The proposal would allow the continued use
of Fire Station #2 in a zone that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The
continued presence of the fire station is important to the public health, safety and welfare
of the sun'oUDding community. Findings 1, 4, 6-7.
Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation

Exhibit A
3. The proposed rezone is necessary because conditions in the immediate vicinity have
so markedly changed that it is in the public interest to approve the rezone. Proof of
changed conditions is not required for a rezone if the proposed rezone implements
policies contained in the comprehensive plan. Bjarnson v. Kitsap County, 78 Wn. App.
840 (Div. I, 1995); Henderson v. Kittitas County, 124 Wn. App. 747 (Div. III, 2004).
The City Council determined that a change in the Comprehensive Plan designation from
TUPT to PSFS for the parcel was necessary and in the public interest. As a result, the
parcel's existing land use zoning of CUL is no longer consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan. The proposed zoning amendment from CUL to MD is necessary and in the public
interest to bring the zoning district into compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
designation. The intent of the Master Development zone is to provide large scale
development by public entities that provide a clear community benefit and for innovative
development meeting unique community needs. The MD zone is allowed in the
Comprehensive Plan's PSRS designation. Findings 1,5, 7.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the preceding Findings and Conclusions, the Hearing Examiner recommends that the
City Council GRANT the request to rezone 1.4 acres at 5005 West Arsenal Way from City
Utility Lands (CUL) to Master Development (MD).
