SUMMARY:
The Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter 20 04, contains provisions for the City's
implementation of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requirements The City's regulations
were drafted primarily in 1984, and since that time the state legislature has made modifications to
SEPA Staff recommends that Council update the references in the BMC to include new provisions
contained in the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) related to SEPA
The proposed ordinance contains two updates to the SEPA rules
1) Reference is added to BMC 20 04 010 Statutory Authority to include reference to the city's
comprehensive plan, capital facilities plans, and municipal code These references are
important as these policies and regulations and their associated environmental review
documents are often used during the mitigation process for development projects
2) Add a new Section 20 04 205 called "Planned Action " This incorporates the provisions
contained within the WAC 197 -11 164, 197 -11 -168, & 197 -11 -17
