FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Project Description . The Manette Sub Area Plan covers 34 acres on the Manette Peninsula. The Sub Area Plan includes two primary components: 1) an amendment to the 2004 Bremerton Comprehensive Plan adding the Manette Neighborhood Center Sub Area Plan and, 2) development regulations for the Manette Neighborhood Center that will function as zoning upon Plan adoption. The Manette Neighborhood Center was designated in the City's 2004 Comprehensive Plan. While the Comprehensive Plan calls for Manette to become a neighborhood center, an urban design strategy for the neighborhood had not been developed at the time of the 2005 zoning code adoption, in the interim a 'stopgap' zoning scenario was put in place for the neighborhood. City Council funded work on a Manette Sub Area Plan in the 2008 budget to ensure that future redevelopment of the neighborhood is coordinated and well designed. The Manette Sub Area Plan is a detailed planning document that fits within the framework of the 2004 Comprehensive Plan. This is the most established and already- developed neighborhoods designated as a "Neighborhood Center" in the Comprehensive Plan and expected to have a Sub-Area plan developed for it. The Sub Area Plan meets many goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and implements the vision laid out within it. 2. Procedural History A public participation process for the Manette Neighborhood Center Sub Area Plan has been ongoing since late summer of 2008. The Sub Area Plan includes documentation of the public participation process (Part II). In summary, four public open houses were held and a wide range of community meetings were held. Key Communicators were utilized to help present the needs and goals of the Sub Area Plan. Additionally, the Plan was presented and discussed at Planning Commission. Extensive Community input is integrated throughout the plan, meeting and exceeding state requirements. Public Meetings: 2a.1 January 12, 2009 - General Open House 2a.2 January 26, 2009 - Needs Assessment Charrette 2a.3 February 23,2009 - Geographic Application Charrette 2a.4 March 16, 2009 - Development Standards & Street Charrette 2a.5 March 30, 2009 - Draft Plan Review Procedural Notices: 2b.1 On March 31,2009 staff notified the Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development of the intent to adopt amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.

SITE LOCATION Manette is a Bremerton neighborhood east of the Port Washington Narrows. The Manette peninsula is characterized by single-family residential neighborhoods with a distinct small- scale commercial district that enjoy spectacular views to the Narrows, Sinclair Inlet, downtown Bremerton and other scenic points. The plan boundary area encompasses approximately 34 acres B. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONTEXT Bremerton's 2004 Comprehensive Plan established the "Centers Concept" for the future growth of the city, and designated an area of the Manette community as a "Neighborhood Center." It is envisioned that this area will include mixed-use structures, pedestrian-oriented design, varied housing types, and neighborhood scale commercial, professional, and community services. The services that are provided in a center of this type are intended to serve the territory within approximately 1/2 mile radius surrounding the center. Neighborhood centers have an identifiable central (or "core") area with building heights of two or three stories with retail or office uses at ground level VICINITY MAP and residential above. The density of housing is lower as distance from the core area increases. Away from the core area, residential uses will predominate. SUB-AREA PLAN BOUNDARY MAP Manette's citizens worked cooperatively with the City in the development of this sub-area plan. The purpose of this plan is to establish the overall plan vision for the center, demonstrate the plan's consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, and establish the design and development standards for the center. This plan has been developed to show how the area can provide living environments attractive to a growing segment of society that desires a more active, stimulating setting, offering the ability to access key amenities and conveniences without driving. Citizen Recommended Manette Sub-Area Plan ~ Planning Commission Hearing Draft ~ April 21,2009 A. A CITIZEN DEVELOPED PLAN The Manette neighborhood has a well- established group of community leaders and actively engaged citizens. The process for this plan's development included utilizing citizens for outreach communication efforts within their neighborhood and to develop the plan principles and goals that shaped the regulations that are contained within this document. This approach proved very successful, and without the considerable time and effort that this community put into public participation the development of this plan would have not been a success. The plan was developed through the use of two very important public outreach tools: "Key Communicators," and open public meetings where participants worked through many exercises that shaped the plan elements. KEY COMMUNICATORS The City worked with a group of Manette residents who were willing to commit additional time to the sub-area planning effort - this group was called the "Key Communicators." The purpose ofthis group was to work closely with staff to develop materials to share important information with the public about the sub-area planning effort and to communicate the importance of public participation. The ideas behind the Key Communicators were that Manette residents would likely be more willing to talk with their neighbors about neighborhood planning than they would be with city staff, and that the Key Communicators would serve as an excellent conduit for sharing information that wouldn't otherwise exist without their participation. City staff developed a "Meeting in a Binder" for use by the Key Communicators. This "meeting" was created to help the Communicators share information about the Growth Management Act, the City's Comprehensive Plan, how the sub area planning process works, details of existing conditions within the Manette neighborhood, Alternate Exhibit B and what the area's growth expectations are. During November & December 2008, the Key Communicators took these "meetings" out to the public and held informal information-sharing sessions within the plan area at local businesses, dinner parties, and their own homes. The outcome of these community meetings helped define the goals, visions, and expectations of the plan. PUBLIC MEETINGS A series of open public meetings were held at the Norm Dicks Government Center to gather input from the citizens regarding the sub-area plan. The meetings are summarized as follows: · January 12, 2009 General open house · January 26, 2009 Needs assessment charrette · February 23, 2009 Geographic application charrette · March 16, 2009 Deyelopment standards & streets charrette · March 30, 2009 Draft plan review · April 21,2009 Planning Commission Hearing & Recommendation · May 2009 to June 2009 Anticipated City Council adoption Citizen Recommended Manette Sub-Area Plan - Planning Commission Hearing Draft - April 21,2009 B. PLAN VISIONS, GOALS & EXPECTATIONllternate Exhibit B Community outreach efforts focused on information-sharing and collaborative steps towards defining the 20-year vision for Manette. Surveys, questionnaires and roundtable discussions were the primary methods used to gather information regarding the citizen's goals and expectations for growth. In the development of this plan, the citizens developed a number of key principles to follow. The principles were categorized into three groups - "Community Character," "Places for People," and "Vibrant Community Core." The following describes in detail the goals and policies that will guide growth within the Manette Neighborhood Center: i. COMMUNITY CHARACTER (CC) GUIDING PRINCIPLE AND OVERALL GOAL: Preservation of a unique and charming neighborhood where significant consideration should be given to the scale, size, quality, and compatibility of future development.

MANETTE LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (R-10) INTENT & PURPOSE Inclusion of an area designated Low Density Residential (R-10) within the Manette sub-area plan was considered an important aspect of the plan. The R-10 area is closely related to the core yet contains a cohesive neighborhood that the community felt was not appropriate for additional density or commercial development. The area was included in the plan boundary for the purpose of analyzing traffic flow and consideration of overall street improvements only.

STREET STANDARDS ROADWAY EXPECTATIONS The street standards section of the sub-area plan describes the community expectations within the streetscapes of Manette. The map on the left facing page depicts the commu- nity's vision for the improvements needed to make this neighborhood center more pedestrian friendly. Details of each street designation are contained within the following pages. EXISTING CONDITIONS Manette currently experiences a high volume tran- siting the bridge through East 11 th Street. Residents have expressed the desire for right-of-way improve- ments that will calm the traffic and ease pedestrian movement throughout the neighborhood. Current right-of-way widths within the commercial core vary from 54 feet to 60 feet. These widths are consistent for a neighborhood center and are suffi- cient for the improvements envisioned for the plan. Right-of-way widths for the neighborhood streets average 40 feet. The center's current amenities include 5-foot side- walks and parallel parking throughout the neighbor- hood.

Corner bulb-out; either a partial or full extension of the line of the curb into the vehicular right of way or parking lane. The bulb-out can be placed on one side or both sides of the intersection. This feature is primarily used to reduce the width of street at pedestrian crossings and to improve the visibility between pedestrians and drivers. Bulb-outs should be implemented generously on pedestrian primary streets such as E 11 th Street, and Harkins. D. STREET STANDARDS - TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES Some areas of Manette may require the use of traffic calming features. The intent of this section is to identify the measures that are supported by the neighborhood. Traffic calming measures should be utilized where Neighborhood Streets connect with Multimodal Streets and the Community Boulevard. A mid-block crossing combined with a bulb-out can reduce jaywalking activities and pedestrian contact with traffic by having a narrowed street width at the crossing. They also slow oncoming traffic through the crosswalk, increasing pedestrian and driver visibility.
