AGENDA BILL CITY OF BREMERTON CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: 2013 Property Insurance Renewal Study Session Date: Dec. 12, 2012 COUNCIL MEETING Date: Dec. 19, 2012 Department: City Attorney’s Office Presenter: Thelma Swem Phone: 360-473-5302 SUMMARY: The Bremerton Municipal Code authorizes the Risk Management Specialist, with the approval of the City Attorney, to bind property insurance coverage on City assets and requires City Council approval for the continuation of the bound coverage. Property insurance coverage for 2013 has been bound with Lexington Insurance Company. The annual premium for 2013 is $274,660.23. Coverage is subject to a $100,000 deductible for most losses. Earthquake and flood insurance is only provided for the Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Harborside Conference Center, the Harborside Sculptures and Fountains, and PSNS Memorial Plaza. ATTACHMENTS: Summary of Quotes FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the Risk Management Fund for this expenditure for 2013. STUDY SESSION AGENDA: ☒ No Discussion ☐ Full Presentation STUDY SESSION ACTION: ☐ Consent Agenda ☐ General Business ☐ Public Hearing RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve continuation of property insurance bound with Lexington Insurance Company for 2013. COUNCIL ACTION: Approve Deny Table Continue No Action Form Updated 11/02/12 AGENDA BILL CITY OF BREMERTON CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Purchase of Sensus Water Meter Transceiver Units (MXU’s) Study Session Date: December 12, 2012 COUNCIL MEETING Date: December 19, 2012 Department: PW&U Presenter: Chal Martin Phone: 473-5315 SUMMARY: Due to failing batteries and poor internal wiring of old water meter transmitters, Public Works staff began replacing water meter transceivers with more reliable models two years ago. The City now has almost 1,900 of the new transceivers in service, out of 18,246 in the system. The new transceivers have a 15-year minimum battery life (vs. 6 years for the old transceivers), and improved transceiver range. A sole source upgrade / exchange program has been established with Ferguson Waterworks in Tacoma (Ferguson is the authorized distributor) to purchase new transceivers, with a credit if the purchase is made prior to the end of January, 2013. We have accumulated 1,882 of the old transceivers to turn in for credit. Purchase price for 1,882 new transceivers is $253,637.14, including the credit and including sales tax. ATTACHMENTS: 1. General Information Sheet 2. Transmitter (MXU) upgrade/exchange unit pricing sheet 3. Sole Source Determination 4. Warranty (For information) FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): The 2012 Water Utility O&M expense budget is $13,492,749. With this purchase, final 2012 expenditures are projected to be $12,962,880, which is about $100,000 below our previous end-of-year projection for 2013 budget formulation (good). STUDY SESSION AGENDA: ☒ No Discussion ☐ Full Presentation STUDY SESSION ACTION: ☐ Consent Agenda ☐ General Business ☐ Public Hearing RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the purchase of water meter transceivers from Ferguson Waterworks and authorize the Mayor to finalize and execute the purchase with substantially the same terms and conditions as presented.

The City has a requirement to replace aging transmitters on over 18,000 meters in its system. For efficiency of maintenance operations, and for reasons of compatibility with existing meter reading systems, the City chose the Sensus 520R transceiver as its standard for replacement. Establishing a standard enables the City to save money through reduced inventory, and save money and staff time by virtue of reduced maintenance complications that ensue from operating a system with multiple brands and repair parts. Over the past two years, the City has installed approximately 1,900 of the transceiver units, and experience to date indicates the units are of high quality and are exceeding the Utility’s expectations for reliability and performance. Sensus Metering Systems, the manufacturer, contracts with regional suppliers who are the only authorized distributors of the product. Therefore, the only source for the particular transceiver units required by the City, are the regional distributors. Any request for bids would only receive a single bid from the regional distributor. Because the City of Bremerton is a large customer, the regional distributor for this area, Ferguson Waterworks, has agreed to provide a credit for the old meters. Public Works staff has determined that Ferguson’s pricing is reasonable. Therefore, it is my determination that sole source purchase of Sensus 520R water meter transceiver units is justified for this procurement. Sensus Limited Warranty I.

In 2009 a Federal Regulation (Red Flag Identity Theft) went into effect which required Harris to upgrade their software to incorporate better identity security and encryption. The requested council action is upgrade/replacement of the InHance software to a new format called ICIS. The ICIS software uses a different technology (.NET, a windows environment) that includes faster processing, faster debugging mechanisms, enhanced reporting and a better internal security structure. It is important that we do this upgrade since Harris has indicated they will no longer support the older InHance software in the future. Our original purchase of the InHance software allowed for upgrades at no cost; however, change to the new .NET technology will require in-house training and programming of our custom forms. The cost of this Agenda Item is limited to training, programming and installation. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Proposal FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): The cost of the software upgrade, training, and programming is $22,950. Additional costs may accrue during software installation; however, these costs are expected to be minimal. The 2012 budgeted amount for this software upgrade was $20,000 -- $10,000 from the Water Utility and $10,000 from the Sewer Utility. This request exceeds the 2012 budgeted amount but will not cause either fund to exceed our previously-projected year-end balances; therefore, no budget amendment is needed. STUDY SESSION AGENDA: ☒ No Discussion ☐ Full Presentation STUDY SESSION ACTION: ☒ Consent Agenda ☐ General Business ☐ Public Hearing RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve an agreement with Harris Computer Systems for upgrade of the City’s utility billing software, and authorize the Mayor to finalize and execute the agreement with substantially the same terms and conditions as presented.

Study Session Date: December 12, 2012 COUNCIL MEETING Date: December 19, 2012 Department: Financial Services Presenter: Becky Hasart Phone: 360-473-5722 SUMMARY: The current Information Technology (IT) Manager will be retiring at the end of December after having been with the City for over 29 ½ years. The Director of Financial Services has been working with the IT Manager on identifying those within existing IT staff that could be groomed to become a replacement for when the retirement would become effective (succession planning). As such, our current Network Administrator, Kevin Matthew, is being appointed to the IT Manager position effective January 1, 2013. Mr. Matthew has been employed by the City of Bremerton for 23 years including 2 years as a Computer Programmer Analyst and 21 years as the Network Administrator. Over the last six months, Mr. Matthew has shown he has the knowledge and experience to be able to perform the manager’s job and can step into this new role with minimal disruption to City services. The IT Manager’s pay band is non-represented pay band 16. Step 1 would only increase Mr. Matthew’s salary by $142 per month. To acknowledge the promotion and to have the pay be more commiserate with the increase in responsibility and duties, it is recommended that Mr. Matthew be placed at pay band 16, step 2. Per BMC 2.50.032(a), City Council must approve the initial salary of a newly hired person if the starting salary exceeds step 1. ATTACHMENTS: Letter of engagement and Mr. Matthew’s resume.

COUNCIL ACTION: Approve Deny Table Continue No Action Form Updated 11/02/12 Attachment 1 From: Doug McIntyre, City Planner; Allison Daniels, City Planner Date: November 28, 2012 Re: 2012 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff and the Planning Commission are pleased to present the proposed 2012 Comprehensive Plan Amendment docket for Council consideration. State and City statutes allow the Comprehensive Plan to be amended a maximum of once per year (not including adoption of new Subarea Plans). Each of the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments must show consistency with the criteria contained in BMC 20.10.080. The Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on the amendments and recommends the Council adopt the changes. The Commission has passed findings and conclusions (See Ordinance Exhibit A) that demonstrate the consistency with the criteria outlined in BMC 20.10.080, and includes policies in the Comprehensive Plan to support the proposed changes. The 2012 Docket includes two amendments as follows: DOCKET ITEMS 1. On April 2, 2012, Rice Fergus Miller Inc., acting as agent for the property owner, submitted a request for land use change. Three parcels, located at 1008, 1016, and 1018 Burwell Street (at the corner of Burwell Street and Warren Avenue, see Attachment I), currently designated Low‐Density Residential, are proposed to be included in the Downtown Regional Center boundaries. Development in the Downtown Regional Center is guided by the Downtown Regional Center Subarea Plan (adopted on December 19, 2007 by Ordinance 5034). The Downtown Regional Center Subarea Plan directs focused, mixed growth according to the City's Comprehensive Plan vision for downtown as the "Metropolitan Center of the West Puget Sound." The Subarea Plan includes design standards, zoning, and streetscape standards for the greater downtown area. DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM Attachment 1 The development of the Downtown Regional Center Subarea Plan included a focus on the Warren Avenue Corridor, located along the west edge of the center. This corridor was envisioned to provide a commercial district of medium intensity to transition to lower scaled uses outside of the downtown, as specified by the Warren Avenue Corridor zone (WC zone). However, implementation of this vision is difficult with the existing boundaries because the western side of the Warren Avenue Corridor is only one parcel deep, inhibiting, in many cases, the ability to build medium density uses as specified by the WC zone. To better implement what was envisioned for this area, a proposal to add three parcels to the Downtown Regional Center boundaries would allow ample space to accommodate development intended to occur under the original Subarea Plan. The three parcels are currently developed with vacant multi‐family residential units and the current zoning designation is R‐10; the Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation is Low‐Density Residential. The underutilized nature of the properties presents an opportunity, if re‐designated, to revitalize the edge of the downtown core by allowing a redevelopment pattern to occur that the current Low Density Residential designation does not allow. Impacts on neighboring parcels along Burwell Street are anticipated to be minimal, due to the sparse nature of development on the block as well as the mix of existing uses, including single‐family, multi‐family, parking, and undeveloped lots. Additionally, the WC Zone is intended to provide a commercial district of medium intensity to transition to lower‐scaled uses outside of the downtown core, which will ensure that development on the subject parcels will be done in a manner that minimizes impacts on the surroundings. Once included in the Downtown Regional Center Subarea Plan, these three parcels will be eligible for rezoning to the WC zoning designation as set forth in the Subarea Plan. See Ordinance Exhibit B. 2. The second amendment to this docket is the revisions to the Bay Vista Subarea Plan. Originally this plan was called the West Park Subarea Plan and was adopted in 2007. In 2009, the applicant, the Bremerton Housing Authority (BHA), revised the subarea plan and is now known as the Bay Vista Subarea Plan. The Bay Vista Subarea Plan was created in consultation with stakeholders, residents, and neighbors. It used an intensive design charette process and numerous community meetings. Development of the Subarea Plan also used environmental analysis, including preparation of a SEPA/NEPA environmental Impact Statement (EIS), and an EIS addendum, to inform master planning of the site consistent with environmental constraints and opportunities. However, as the site is being developed, market conditions and site constraints have made the regulations of the existing Subarea Plan difficult to implement. BHA is proposing amendments to the Bay Vista Subarea Plan that includes: reallocation of Attachment 1 Village Commercial and multi‐family locations, revise permitted land uses to reflect land use zones that are being condensed, revise complex Code requirements in Subarea Plan to more resemble the City of Bremerton Zoning Code, and alter landscaping, signage and parking requirements which will still comply with overall policies and goals of the existing Bay Vista Subarea Plan. The revised and updated Bay Vista Plan is contained in the proposed Ordinance Exhibit C.

The existing Westpark public housing community was built in 1941 and is owned and operated by the Bremerton Housing Authority (BHA). The community is the remnant of a larger World War II – era housing project that was built as temporary housing for shipyard workers. The site currently contains 631 residential units, primarily one-story duplex and four-plex in design, and a 60-unit apartment building for elderly and disabled residents. Ninety percent or more of existing units are for low-income families and individuals. The site also provides community functions (a community center, senior center, teen center, and head start facility) and some local services (laundry, storage facilities, maintenance shop, and administrative offices. A new 72-unit assisted living facility (Bay Vista Commons) was constructed and opened in December of 2007. The surrounding neighborhood contains a mix of residential, commercial and industrial land uses, including auto-oriented and larger retail uses along Kitsap Way. Kitsap Way in this area serves as a “gateway” to the City of Bremerton, though it is currently lacking in definition. B. suB-area Plan Vision The Westpark Sub-Area Plan was originally adopted in 2007. The Bremerton Housing Authority (BHA) voted to change the name of the site and master plan to Bay Vista in 2008. Consequently, the name of the Sub-Area Plan has also been changed to Bay Vista as part of the 2009 amendment to this plan. The vision and Sub-Area Plan for Bay Vista, including the 2009 amendments, was created in consultation with stakeholders, residents and neighbors. It used an intensive design charrette process and numerous community meetings, which are summarized in Section II. Development of the Sub-Area Plan also used environmental analysis, including preparation of a SEPA/NEPA environmental impact statement (EIS), and two EIS addenda, to inform master planning of the site consistent with environmental constraints and opportunities. The Sub-Area Plan concept is built upon six major goals: 1. Promoting a mixed-use, mixed-income traditional neighborhood. 2. Creating a pedestrian-oriented environment. 3. Maintaining/enhancing view corridors and landscaping. 4. Enhancing the civic realm and creating more usable public open space. 5. Promoting economic development through provision of commercial activities and services on-site and in the adjacent Neighborhood Center. 6. Integrating low impact development (LID) approaches into the Master Plan. The new Bay Vista is envisioned as an urban mixed-use, mixed-income, pedestrian-oriented community. It will be characterized by a variety of types and styles of housing to meet the needs of a range of income groups. Accommodating these groups will help to de-concentrate low-income housing in Bremerton. Retail and commercial uses will provide for some of the everyday shopping needs of residents, as well as provide job opportunities for residents. The retail center will provide financial support i - introduction 2 section I : INTRODUCTIONNovember 2012 for implementation of the master plan, including construction of new infrastructure. Bay Vista's on-site population will also provide support for additional commercial activity in the future Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center. The site will be sensitively designed to maintain significant open space and existing trees, to preserve and enhance views, and to carefully manage stormwater and other natural features. New parks, civic spaces and outdoor amenities will be created. Proposed development standards and Design Standards, and covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs), will establish high standards for the quality of redevelopment, yet provide flexibility to respond to market changes and opportunities. The plan will provide high quality infrastructure and services to residents. The Bay Vista site will relate to the surrounding neighborhood in terms of activities and scale, and provide a catalyst and model for future redevelopment. C. organization of suB-area Plan The Sub-Area Plan is organized in four major sections. Following this introduction, Section II describes the major objectives of the Plan, and its planning regulatory context within which it has been created. Section II also delineates the public/stakeholder process and SEPA/NEPA compliance for the plan are also described. Section III describes existing site conditions, and the vision, goals and objectives for redevelopment of Bay Vista. The major elements of the Sub-Area Plan–land use, housing, parks and open space, roads and infrastructure–are described in narrative and graphics. This section has been adopted by the City as an element of the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan. Section IV contains the zoning and development standards that will apply to Bay Vista, including regulations for uses, density, building heights, setbacks and similar components of development. bay vista 3 section I : INTRODUCTIONVICINITY MAP 4 November 2012Section II : purpose, process & consistencyThe Bay Vista Sub-Area Plan is intended to provide a road map for future redevelopment of the site. It articulates the vision, goals and objectives for redevelopment of Bay Vista, and embodies the policies of the City of Bremerton Comprehensive Plan, which it supplements. The Plan also establishes zoning standards which will guide the preparation of future site development plans, subdivisions and building permits by applicants; installation of infrastructure by the Bremerton Housing Authority (BHA) and individual developers; and review of these plans by the City of Bremerton (City) and the Bay Vista Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The Sub-Area Plan reflects the Redevelopment Master Plan for Bay Vista prepared by the Bremerton Housing Authority. It is also responsive to environmental impacts identified in Bay Vista environmental documents, to financial constraints, and to changing market conditions. The Westpark Sub-Area Plan was initially adopted in 2007. Following additional community involvement, public hearings and environmental review, amendments were proposed to reflect the BHA's ongoing planning, as well as updated information about site constraints and market conditions. In fall 2008, the BHA received a HOPE VI grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Conditions of the grant include a maximum 54-month schedule for completion of construction. The Sub-Area Plan was amended by the City Council in 2009 to reflect this constraint and other changed conditions noted previously. a. loC al Planning framework OVERVIEW The Bay Vista site has been the subject of several City legislative actions over the past few years and was also addressed specifically in the City’s recent adoption of its updated Comprehensive Plan and zoning code in 2004. These actions have provided a framework for planning redevelopment of the site. In September 2003, the City amended its Community Renewal Plan, pursuant to the state Community Renewal Law (RCW 35.81), to incorporate the site as a “blighted” area for purposes of community renewal efforts (Ordinance No. 4830 and 4870). The designation was supported by findings that the site was isolated from adjacent areas that building size and design were deficient, and that physical deterioration was a contributing factor to disinvestment in the area. These actions also reaffirmed the City’s intent to cooperate and assist the Bremerton Housing Authority in the redevelopment of the site, (pursuant to RCW 35.83), and to provide a framework for redevelopment in the Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulations. This framework is described below. PUBLIC SECtOR REDEVELOPMENt SItE (PSRS) The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates Westpark (now Bay Vista) as a Public Sector Redevelopment Site (PSRS). These are special, large-scale sites with high potential for development that is innovative or that meets a unique community need. They should be developed consistent with specific district planning efforts that address the site, compatibility with surrounding uses, and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. A PSRS must have a clearly defined community benefit, such as meeting a public housing need. They may include mixed type residential development with an open space component and secondary commercial or office development. ii - BAy VistA suB-AreA pLAn purpose, process, and consistency with the comprehensive plan bay vista 5 Section II : purpose, process & consistencyOyStER BAy NEIGHBORHOOD CENtER The Comprehensive Plan designates a future Neighborhood Center for the Oyster Bay Area adjacent to the Bay Vista site, located on both sides of Kitsap Way. This 37-acre center is projected to redevelop over time in conjunction with, but slower than, Bay Vista, and to transition into an urban, pedestrian-friendly area connected with the surrounding area by trails, open space, and access to the shoreline. The Center will include a core, with mixed-use (residential and commercial) buildings. The Center will receive economic support from the surrounding neighborhood, including Bay Vista’s residents and workers; land uses in Bay Vista are expected to complement redevelopment of Oyster Bay. A Sub-Area Plan will be prepared for the Oyster Bay Center; however, the timing of this planning effort is uncertain. SPECIFIC AREA PLANS The Comprehensive Plan anticipates that more detailed area-specific plans will be developed to implement Public Sector Redevelopment Sites, such as Bay Vista. Key aspects of these plans include: a process that involves the community, consistency with the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies, and inclusion of development standards and design standards. The Bay Vista Sub-Area Plan is such a specific area plan and has been developed to meet these requirements. The relationship to the Comprehensive Plan goals is discussed below. Revision of the Bay Vista Sub-Area Plan follows the City's established process for amending the Comprehensive Plan. This process includes public involvement, environmental review, and public hearings by the Planning Commission and City Council. In cooperation with the City, the BHA sponsored eight community meetings and workshops in the fall of 2008 to gain input on proposed changes to the Sub-Area Plan. An addendum to the Westpark EIS was also prepared to address the proposed changes. The revisions were adopted following public hearings by the Planning Commission and the City Council. B. ConsistenCy of tHe suB- area Plan witH Bremerton’s ComPreHensiVe Plan BREMERtON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - CENtERS CONCEPt The city’s updated Comprehensive Plan is based on a “Centers” concept, in which a significant portion of the City’s future growth will be guided to numerous Centers designated throughout the City. Centers vary in scale, function and character, and each is intended to be a distinct district or “village” with a unique character. Designated centers range from the City Center, which provides a wide range of activities that serve the entire City and the region, to smaller neighborhood centers, which provide goods and services, and amenities to residents within a neighborhood. In general, centers are intended to be mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly, well-designed areas with open space, public gathering places, access to transit, and adequate infrastructure. SHAPING BREMERtON tHEMES 1. Distinctive Growth, with Viable Neighborhoods and Centers that Provide Greater Choice and Convenience. Redevelopment of Bay Vista will help to revitalize an existing neighborhood that is characterized by outdated, deteriorated housing and infrastructure, and has been designated as “blighted.” The new Bay Vista neighborhood will be characterized by mixed-use development, a wide range of housing options affordable to a mix of income groups, ample open space and amenities, pedestrian accessibility, quality design, improved infrastructure and enhanced environmental resources. Everyday goods and services, and local employment opportunities, will be provided on-site. 2. Enticing New Development, with a Focus on the Downtown Regional Center. The Bremerton Housing Authority has been working closely with the City and the broader community to shape a plan for Bay Vista that fits the site and is responsive to the City’s requirements and needs, including economic development, housing 6 November 2012Section II : purpose, process & consistencyopportunities and population support for the future Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center. The City’s updated Comprehensive Plan and development regulations provide guidance and flexibility for large public parcel development proposals like Bay Vista. 3. Supportive transportation, with Seamless, Efficient and Varied Choices. Regional transportation facilities bounding the Bay Vista site include State Route (SR) 3, Kitsap Way and Oyster Bay Avenue. Access to the site is provided by Oyster Bay Avenue, Sinclair Drive, Arsenal Way and Sand Dollar Drive. Kitsap Transit provides public transit service to the City of Bremerton. Routes No. 24 and 26 serve the Bay Vista site, with stops along Kitsap Way (Route 24) and at the Firs Apartments on Oyster Bay Avenue (Route 26). Kitsap Way has a designated bicycle lane, wide shoulders, raised sidewalks on both sides, and painted crosswalks with pedestrian call buttons. The City of Bremerton has recently upgraded or added new accessible ramps at various intersections along Kitsap Way. A mid-block pedestrian crossing is located east of Oyster Bay Avenue. Oyster Bay Avenue includes raised sidewalks on one side of the street. Levels of service at major intersections will meet City of Bremerton standards. 4. Improved Accessibility, especially for the Pedestrian. The Bay Vista site is being planned to support multiple transportation modes, including vehicles (through adequate access and parking); transit (through higher urban densities and access to the regional road system); and pedestrians (by integrating trails and pedestrian amenities in a mixed-use development pattern). 5. Quality Housing, with Broader Choices. Existing housing on the site is old and deficient; the Comprehensive Plan and several City ordinances have identified the site’s housing as substandard and in need of revitalization. The redeveloped Bay Vista will provide approximately 875 housing units in a variety of types and styles, including single-family attached and detached (duplexes, townhouses, clustered cottages) and apartments. Units will be for-sale and for-rent, market-rate apartments and public housing. All existing public housing units will be replaced either on-site (190 units) or off-site, which will be consistent with the City’s desire to disperse public housing. 6. Business Support, with Increased Opportunity. Bay Vista will provide local jobs and goods and services for residents of Bay Vista and the surrounding neighborhood. Bay Vista’s residents will also provide market support for existing and new commercial development in the Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center. 7. Environmental Management, Integrating Natural Systems. The plans for Bay Vista include approximately 15 acres of parks and open space, and retain the existing preserve park; with the exception of this preserve, most of the site and existing vegetation will be disturbed or removed in conjunction with site grading and construction. When complete, Bay Vista will exhibit ample landscaping and open space. This open space and vegetation will provide habitat for species of urban wildlife, as well as recreational opportunities for local residents. Environmentally critical areas located on and adjacent to the site (such as wetlands) will be protected consistent with City regulations. Stormwater will be controlled and treated consistent with City requirements. 8. Community Service, Focusing on Assets Bay Vista will install new infrastructure on the site; facilities will be provided concurrent with development. The Bay Vista EIS documents evaluated the service demands of the new population to help ensure that any adverse impacts were identified and addressed. 9. Design Review: Advancing Quality Urban Development. The Bay Vista Sub-Area plan includes development standards that will apply to all future development on the site. These standards, and City review of future applications, will ensure that future development is of high quality and meets expectations. The BHA has developed Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that apply detailed design requirements to land and buildings throughout the site. bay vista 7 Section II : purpose, process & consistencyCOMMUNIty CHARACtER GOALS CC1 ..Demonstrate excellent urban design qualities in new development. Redevelopment of the site will replace old, substandard housing with modern dwelling units, mixed-use buildings and a village retail center. The Sub-Area Plan contains design standards that are intended to set high standard for site and building design. CC2 ..Assure that new development relates to surrounding uses and provides for urban livability. The Bay Vista site is being master planned and will provide compatibility between land uses through careful siting, use of open space and buffering, and transitions between uses of different intensity. Bay Vista will function as a traditional community, with a mix of activities that meet the needs of daily life, connected by streets and trails, and enhanced open space, urban amenities and high quality design. The Master Plan also considers land use and scale relationships to the surrounding community, including the future Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center. CC3 ..Provide for a safe, pleasant and rich pedestrian experience. Bay Vista will contain approximately 30,000 linear feet of pedestrian walkways and trails. Streets are designed to accommodate pedestrians and to make walking safe, pleasant and convenient. Pedestrian amenities include landscaping, benches, open space, pocket parks and lighting. CC4 ..Promote the development of areas of special character, encouraging a diversity of communities within the city. Bay Vista is a large site that presents unique redevelopment opportunities. Its history and status as a 1940s-era public housing project with aging and substandard facilities sets the stage for its transformation into a modern, well-designed urban mixed-use community located at a major entrance to the City. LAND USE GOALS LU1 ..Identify and enhance distinctive neighborhoods, communities and centers throughout the City. As noted above, Bay Vista will be transformed into a modern, well-designed urban mixed-use community. It will be distinct in appearance and character in the City’s existing fabric. It will also provide long-term population support for future development of the Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center. LU2 ..Integrate an open space system into the land use pattern that increases the amount of open space, protects. Bremerton’s natural resources, and provides a source of beauty and enjoyment for all residents. The Bay Vista plan includes approximately 15 acres of parks and open space that is integrated into the land use pattern. Significant trees will be retained to the greatest extent feasible or replaced. The open space plan includes areas for active recreation – including ball-fields, pocket parks, tot lots and gathering places – and for gathering and passive enjoyment. A management plan will be prepared and implemented for the Preserve, a large natural area. Residents will be involved in overseeing preservation of this area. LU4 ..Provide for walkability throughout Centers and neighborhoods. Bay Vista is intended to be a walkable community, and has integrated the needs of the pedestrian into its land use pattern and transportation system. The plan includes approximately 30,000 linear feet of pedestrian paths and trails, connecting areas of the site with one another and with the surrounding neighborhood. LU5 ..Designate neighborhood, district, and employment Centers on the Land Use Map that provide mixed-use environments which serve as the primary focus for growth. The Comprehensive Plan anticipates that retail and service uses will be provided in Bay Vista as well as in the future Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center. Bay Vista will provide a residential population that will support commercial uses planned on-site and in the Neighborhood Center. LU7 ..In order to encourage new development to occur in locations and patterns consistent with the Vision(s), Goals and Policies of this Plan – specifically in Centers – remove or revise existing land use designations that would sit multi-family uses in locations that do not support the Centers Concept. 8 November 2012Section II : purpose, process & consistencyBay Vista includes a mix of multi-family and single-family housing. The proposed location of multi- family housing adjacent to Kitsap Way will support commercial activities anticipated on-site and in the Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center. LU11 Provide for the viability of communities, neighborhoods, and Centers through strategic land use designations and infrastructure provisions. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates Westpark (now Bay Vista) as a Public Sector Redevelopment Site (PSRS). This designation recognizes its public ownership and the public interest in innovative redevelopment that meets community needs. The master plan has been developed through a Sub-Area Planning process, will be compatible with adjacent uses, and will provide a variety of housing types and ownership options that will meet a variety of housing needs. LU12 Support community-wide access to amenities and services. Bay Vista will provide open space and recreational amenities that are available to all community residents. The site has also been planned to maintain and enhance views of the water. LU17 Adopt and implement appropriate standards and regulations for stormwater management. the City of Bremerton should adopt and implement regional plans, strategies, and standards as appropriate, including but not limited to the Seattle/King County Storm Water Manual, FEMA maps, and the Puget Sound Action team’s 2000 Water Quality Plan. Stormwater will be managed in a manner consistent with city standards. C. PuBliC/stakeHolder ProCess The Bay Vista Sub Area Plan reflects the efforts of many people, including: city leaders and staff, the many citizens and Bay Vista residents who turned out for an initial program of public community meetings and a week-long design charrette, urban designers, architects, traffic planners, civil engineers, environmental specialists, and market consultants, to name a few. A second round of meetings and forums were held to discuss revisions to the Sub-Area Plan based on updated information about the site and market conditions. Community meetings were advertised through a combination of mailed and published notices, posted signs, and newsletters. Bay Vista residents, neighbors within 300 feet, and the community at large were invited to participate in the process. All residents of Bay Vista and within 300 feet of the site received written notices and invitations The public process conducted for the initial adoption of the Sub Area Plan included the following outreach efforts and comment opportunities: Four public community meetings: • March 16, 2006• May 12, 2006• June 22, 2006 (EIS scoping included) • September 14, 2006 A week-long design charrette: • May 8-12, 2006 two stakeholder’s meetings: • April 19, 2006 • July 13, 2006 SEPA/NEPA scoping meetings and EIS meetings: • June 22, 2006 Bremerton Planning Commission workshops and public hearings: • October 17, 2006 • November 21, 2006 Bremerton City Council public hearings and meetings: • January 24, 2007• February 7, 2007 bay vista 9 Section II : purpose, process & consistency At each of the meetings, the current status of the design process was presented, and attendees were invited to comment on the design, and to ask questions about the project and the process. The goal of the stakeholder process was to create a vibrant neighborhood that reflects multiple public objectives, with the participation and support of the community as a whole. The content of the public meetings were as follows: Community Meeting #1: March 16, 2006 West Hills Elementary School Gymnasium This meeting included presentation of the existing conditions on the Bay Vista site, along with the proposed process for redeveloping the site. Goals and possibilities for the site were presented, and an invitation for the public to participate in the process of creating the Sub-Area Plan document. The timeline and process for the project were presented, and a question and answer session followed. Questions from attendees, mostly existing Westpark residents, were focused on the relocation plan, demolition, and future rent levels for the replaced subsidized housing. Stakeholder’s Meeting #1: April 19, 2006 Westpark Community Center This meeting included presentation of the existing conditions on the Westpark site, along with the proposed process for redeveloping the site specifically geared toward those neighboring businesses and agencies affected by the Westpark redevelopment. Retail and commercial components of the project were presented, with a discussion of potential impact to surrounding businesses. The timeline, process and current status of the project were also presented, with a question and answer session following. Questions from the stakeholders included the following topics: project financing; whether land will be sold as a large block or in individual lots; the anticipated income of future residents; use of design standards; ability to rent units, housing for residents not returning to Westpark; and the type of retail development that will face Oyster Bay Avenue. Community Meeting #2 (Design Charrette): May 8-12, 2006 – Westpark Community Center At the Design Charrette, the public had the opportunity to interact directly with the design team over the course of a week while the design was in process, allowing true public input. Each night (with the exception of Thursday) during the charrette there was a presentation and question and answer session, outlining the day’s progress. On the final evening, all of the drawings were presented, including the preferred site plan, which was generated through input from each of the agencies and stakeholders involved, along with the many members of the local community that participated. This final presentation served as the “official” public meeting component of the charrette, and was followed by a question and answer session. Questions raised at the meeting addressed the following topics: replacement of existing streets; density of housing; noise; availability of units for the disabled; phasing of construction; grading of the site; storm water management; sale of lots to individuals. Community Meeting #3: June 22, 2006 Westpark Community Center This meeting included presentation of the EIS process, along with the proposed process for the environmental approval process. A question-and-answer session specific to the EIS was held, followed by an update of the overall design process for the site. There was an additional opportunity for questions and answers after the design process update. Questions and comments addressed the following topics: fill proposed for the existing ball field and potential seismic event; timing of construction; communication with residents about project progress; impacts on existing wildlife; questions about the 10 November 2012Section II : purpose, process & consistencyrelocation process; kinds of future businesses; lighting; water features; BHA ownership of housing; whether there will be multiple builders for the for-sale housing; and name of the new community. Stakeholder’s Meeting #2: July 13, 2006 Westpark Community Center This meeting was geared toward the stakeholders and included an update on the design process for redeveloping the site. Timelines for relocation of the current Westpark residents and construction were presented, with a question- and-answer session following. Questions from the stakeholders included the status of the grading design; and status of the stormwater system. An additional series of informational meetings and forums was held in September-October 2008 in connection with proposed revisions to the Sub-Area Plan. Community Meeting #1: September 25, 2008 – Westpark Community Center The kick-off meeting included a summary of the plan revision process, the topics and schedule of subsequent community meetings, and major changes being considered to the sub-area plan/master plan. The recently awarded HOPE VI grant was also described. As summarized, the basic concepts of the master plan for the community, recently renamed Bay Vista, would remain the same: a mixed-use, mixed-income, pedestrian oriented community, with ample open space and landscaping, modern infrastructure and high quality design. Proposed changes to the master plan are motivated primarily by changing real estate market conditions, and project financing needs. Major changes to the master plan being discussed include the following: • a slight increase in the number of housing units, but the same number of low income units dispersed throughout the community; • an expansion and intensification of the retail center, potentially incorporating the existing fire station site; • demolition of the existing community center and development of a smaller community center on a corner of the ball field; • the same amount of parks and open space; • noise mitigation walls adjacent to SR 3; and • investigation of additional low impact design techniques for stormwater management. Based on conditions of the HOPE VI grant, construction will need to be completed by 2013 (54 month maximum from grant award). A question and answer session followed the presentation. Questions addressed the following topics: location of a new fire station; whether the fire station site be used as a maintenance facility rather than for commercial use; how secure the HOPE VI grant funds are in view of recent national economic events; what the HOPE VI funds can be used for; whether there will be a homeownership program; whether off-site property will be condemned by the City; the new phasing program; tree preservation; the design and character of the new commercial center; and numerous questions related to the on-going tenant relocation program. Community Meeting #2: October 2, 2008 – Westpark Community Center The second meeting of the series focused on the changes to the commercial piece of the redevelopment known as Sector 5. Mel Maertz from Olympic Associates made a power point presentation which showed the conceptual sketches of what the new commercial could look like. Slides also showed possible elevations for a grocery, an inn and residential. Two community members and a potential commercial tenant attended this meeting. Community Meeting #3: October 9. 2008 – Westpark Community Center The third meeting was a discussion of the civil engineering changes. The outline for this meeting was: 1. Introduction a.

Next Steps Justin Goroch from BCRA Engineering was the featured speaker. Questions were fielded from the audience with most of the questions centering on our use of Low Impact Development. Community Meeting #4: October 16, 2008 – Westpark Community Center The fourth meeting was a presentation of what the new replacement housing in the new Bay Vista will look like. Presentations were made by Tonkin Hoyne complete with a power point presentation of what the replacement public housing would look like and Ross Deckman + Associates with schematics of what the multifamily apartment and manor houses would look like. The tenants in the audience asked questions such as what amenities would the units have. Responses comparing and contrasting the current housing with the new housing were well received. Community Meeting #5: October 23, 2008 – Westpark Community Center The following agenda was used for this meeting: Guest Introduction: Greg Brower; Landscape Architect of Berger Partnership Mel Maertz; Architect of Olympic Associates Company Sub- Area Plan: Landscaping & Site Amenities A. Streetscape B. Parks C. Open Space D. Club House E. Residential Landscape The presenters showed visuals of what the new parks and open spaces would look like. They also showed a schematic design of a new community club house. Audience comments were primarily about the use of existing trees and new plantings. Community Meeting #6: October 30, 2008 – Westpark Community Center This final meeting was a wrap up and summary of the previous 5 meetings. We reviewed the contents of the previous weeks’ presentations and fielded any audience questions that may have come up over the course of the 6 weeks. No issues were left outstanding and no official comments have been received. More detailed documentation of the public process is on file with the City of Bremerton. Stakeholder Meeting: June 21, 2012 – Summit at Bay Vista Tenants and community partners were present to review the proposed changes to the Sub Area Plan. Responses were all supportive of the plan. Stakeholder Meeting: June 25, 2012 – BHA Administrative Offices BHA staff was present to provide an overview of proposed changes to the Sub Area Plan. There were no other attendees at the meeting. 12 November 2012Section II : purpose, process & consistencyd. sePa/nePa enVironmental reView The review process for the proposed re-development of Westpark, and the initial adoption of the Sub-Area Plan, included preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The City also prepared an EIS Addendum for the initial adoption of the Sub-Area Plan. The purpose of an EIS is to present information about the environmental consequences of proposals, including redevelopment projects, to consider alternative courses of action, and to mitigate environmental impacts that are avoidable. This analysis helps ensure that decision makers are aware of impacts to the natural and human environments, and that they consider opportunities to mitigate impacts. The process also provides opportunities for interested agencies, tribes and citizens to comment on proposals and to be involved in their consideration. A single EIS was prepared to satisfy NEPA and SEPA requirements. The City of Bremerton, designated as the Responsible Entity (RE) for NEPA compliance, served as the NEPA lead agency. Compliance with NEPA was required because the project involved federal action, by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to use federal funds in redeveloping the site. The Bremerton Housing Authority acted as the lead agency for SEPA compliance. Scoping occurred in June 2006. A Draft SEPA/NEPA EIS was published in March 2007. Public meetings on the Draft EIS were held in April 2007. A Final EIS, responding to public and agency comment, was published in May 2007. All meetings were advertised consistent with state and federal requirements. Notices of the publication of EIS documents were similarly published consistent with SEPA and NEPA requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) was prepared to comply with NEPA and is on file with the City of Bremerton. An addendum to the EIS was prepared in 2008 to address changes to the Sub-Area Plan. e. Bay Vista arCHiteCtural reView Committee All new development proposals will adhere to the development review, permitting and design approval processes of the City of Bremerton and the Bay Vista Architectural Review Committee (ARC). ARC planning and design standards are identified in the Sub-Area Plan. Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R’s) will also apply to all property on the site that is sold for redevelopment, to help ensure that all proposals meet relevant requirements. The Bremerton Housing Authority has contracted with a development consultant who is responsible for all development within the boundaries of the project site. The development consultant will assemble an ARC responsible for the review and approval of all permit applications prior to their submittal to the City of Bremerton. Upon approval the ARC will issue a certificate that will be required to be included with the submittal to the City. Permit applications will not be accepted by the City without the approval of the ARC. The City will maintain its primary authority to review and approve plans for consistency with zoning and development standards, and building requirements, as required by law. In particular, the Architectural Review Committee will ensure that proposed development is consistent with the intent and specifics of CC&R’s adopted for the Bay Vista site. bay vista 13 section III : Sub-Area planiii - BAy VistA suB-AreA pLAn a. existing site Conditions DRAINAGE Stormwater within the site is conveyed by overland flow and through a rudimentary system of open ditches and enclosed drainage pipes. Outside of the project area, stormwater is conveyed away from the site in open ditches and enclosed drainage systems. Stormwater from the on-site area combines with stormwater from off-site areas in the conveyance systems outside of the project area. There are no known sources of off-site stormwater that is routed through the existing drainage system. There are no known existing water quality treatment facilities within the Bay Vista site. Stormwater treatment for the redeveloped conditions on the overall site will be provided in accordance with Title 15.04.042 of the City’s municipal code. Water quality treatment and flow control facilities will be designed in accordance with the City of Bremerton Public Works and Utilities Standards, using Department of Ecology (Ecology) hydrologic simulation software to calculate flow rates and volumes Currently, most of the site discharges through two existing outfalls into Oyster Bay. Small portions in the Southeast and Northwest corners of the site discharge to existing Washington State Department of Transportation storm drainage systems ultimately flowing to the Sinclair Inlet and Ostrich Bay Creek. Low Impact Development (LID) techniques, including, but not limited to, pervious pavement, raingardens, bioswales, and roof drain dispersion will be utilized to the greatest extent feasible to treat stormwater and help control flows from the site. tRANSPORtAtION Regional transportation facilities bounding the Bay Vista site include SR 3, Kitsap Way and Oyster Bay Avenue. SR 3 is a four-lane, north-south freeway serving Central Kitsap County. Kitsap Way is a five-to-seven lane, limited access, principal arterial that connects West Bremerton to Central Kitsap County (via SR 3). SR 3 and Kitsap Way intersect just northwest of the Bay Vista site. Access to the site is provided by Oyster Bay Avenue, Sinclair Drive, Arsenal Way and Sand Dollar Drive. Kitsap Transit provides public transit service to the City of Bremerton. Routes No. 24 and 26 serve the Bay Vista site, with stops along Kitsap Way (Route 24), at the Firs Apartments on Russell Road (Route 26) and within the Bay Vista site. Service on both routes has one-hour headways. Kitsap Way has a designated bicycle lane, wide shoulders, raised sidewalks on both sides, and painted crosswalks with pedestrian call buttons. The City of Bremerton has recently upgraded or added new accessible ramps at various intersections along Kitsap Way. A mid-block pedestrian crossing is located east of Oyster Bay Avenue. Oyster Bay Avenue includes raised sidewalks on one side of the street. Two intersections of Kitsap Way – at Oyster Bay Avenue and Pershing Avenue – have relatively high accident rates (based on the last three-year average) Existing levels of service at major intersections meet City of Bremerton standards. Those experiencing the highest delays are Kitsap Way at Marine Drive, and Kitsap Way at the SR 3 southbound ramps. CRItICAL AREAS The Bay Vista site does not contain wetlands or streams, based on preliminary analysis. These resources are presently adjacent to the site, however, and on-site activities (e.g., stormwater runoff) will need to be managed to protect off-site water quality and habitat. The site’s trees and vegetation provide a valuable environmental and visual amenity, but do not provide habitat for designated threatened, endangered or sensitive species. Critical aquifer recharge areas are not present. Some steep slopes do occur and will be addressed through site planning consistent with City requirements. 14 November 2012section III : Sub-Area planSUMMARy OF OPPORtUNItIES AND CONStRAINtS Based on natural features, site location and expressed public and private planning objectives, the Bay Vista site possesses significant opportunities for redevelopment. There are also a number of constraints that will be addressed through the sub-area planning and master planning processes. • The site’s topography is varied and dramatic. Three high points within the site will most likely create beautiful views towards Oyster Bay. • Bay Vista is bounded by State Road 3 and Kitsap Way. These two primary roads carry high volumes of traffic, which creates a perceptible level of noise within the site. • A five-minute walking distance (quarter-mile radius) is often used as a benchmark for planning traditional neighborhoods. Most of the site, and portions of the planned Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center commercial area (along Kitsap Way), are within convenient walking distance and are accessible from the surrounding community. Bay Vista residents will provide economic support for on-site and off-site services. • The site is not significantly constrained by critical areas (e.g., wetlands, streams, fish and wildlife habitat, aquifer recharge areas). It does contain some steep slope areas that will need to be stabilized and carefully engineered. Figure 2 – Opportunities and Constraints Diagram bay vista 15 section III : Sub-Area plan• Some mature landscaping and significant trees are present on the site in the Preserve. These features are valuable amenities and provide opportunities for integration into a system of parks and open space. B. suB-area Plan Vision, goals and oBjeCtiVes The vision of the Bay Vista Sub-Area Plan is to provide a modern, mixed-use, mixed-income, pedestrian- friendly and amenity-rich neighborhood for residents, neighbors and visitors. Redevelopment will create a particular kind of place, one that provides space for the community to gather and interact. Streets, plazas and other public spaces will all be designed with the care and attention to detail required to make them function as outdoor public “living rooms” of the new Bay Vista. The pedestrian-oriented design is reflected in a clearly defined “main street”, small-scaled blocks, and pedestrian-scale buildings on landscaped streets. Public art parks, and stands of significant trees also contribute to this definition. The Sub-Area Plan’s overall goals and objectives include the following: 1. Promote a Mixed-use, Mixed-income Neighborhood • Promote a livable, walkable community through traditional neighborhood-making principles • Provide a varied set of housing and lot types to promote a mixed-income neighborhood • Encourage development of new neighborhood retail along Arsenal Way and at the intersection of Kitsap Way and Oyster Bay Avenue • Connect to and re-use existing infrastructure where appropriate 2. Create a Pedestrian-oriented Environment • Conceal retail parking to enhance the public realm for pedestrians along the street • Improve pedestrian and bicycle connections within and outside of the Bay Vista site • Encourage the use of public transit • Provide and enhance trails through existing wooded and landscaped areas 3. Maintain and enhance existing view landscape and corridors • Take advantage of views north to Oyster Bay • Maintain and enhance trees and landscape along the south side of Kitsap Way and in the Preserve • Develop public neighborhood parks and greens adjacent to existing landscape features and views 16 November 2012section III : Sub-Area plan4. Enhance the civic realm and create more usable public open spaces. • Provide outdoor amenities • Create smaller pocket parks throughout the neighborhood to promote walkability and security • Improve and create parks and civic spaces 5. Promote economic development through provision of commercial activities and services. • Develop a Village Center that will provide local jobs, help finance redevelopment of the site, and generate revenue to the City. • Provide a full range of services to meet the everyday needs of local residents. 6. Integrate low impact development approaches into the site master plan where possible and practical. • Reduce street widths where appropriate to help reduce impervious surfaces • Maintain and integrate open space into the site plan • Investigate stormwater design that uses bioswales and infiltrates stormwater where appropriate • Use pervious asphalt where soil conditions permit OPEN SPACE GOALS • Create parks that enhance the community and encourage and support social interaction. • Create open spaces easily accessible to residents. • Create parks that appeal to a wide range of age groups. A diversity of park types should be established to offer a diversity of passive and active uses. • Use the ‘eyes-on-the-park’ to create safe active environments. Lighting, layout and visibility are key factors in the design of active parks. Provide trash and recycling bins for the parks that meet the needs of the users. • Use resilient materials that reduce maintenance costs. • Increase community participation through direct access for residents from their homes to adjacent parks. • Create public viewing areas. • Provide for an urban trail through the natural area and along Kitsap Way. • Provide for wildlife through preservation and enhancement of the natural area. Bay Vista’s landscape will also serve to enhance the site’s architecture and relate to the local environment. The topography of the site allows for varied relationships of architecture and landscape, which will help distinguish sub-neighborhoods from each other. Open and accessible outdoor spaces and convenient seating will encourage human interaction and create a safe and visible environment for children. Pedestrian bay vista 17 section III : Sub-Area planscale lighting will enhance the streetscape, alleys and parks. Narrower streets will calm traffic and protect pedestrians. C. suB-area Plan elements The Bay Vista Sub-Area Plan addresses the following elements: 1. Land Use, including the master site plan map and identification of major land uses. 2. Housing, including the expected number of for-sale, rental, market-rate and low-income units; and planned densities. 3 Open Space, landscaping and amenities. 4. Roads and Infrastructure, including vehicular and non-vehicular circulation systems, storm water management, and site utilities. Bay Vista will be a mixed-use, mixed-income community drawing on the best of traditional neighborhood design and the rich history of Bremerton, while employing modern amenities and taking advantage of the topography, landscape and views. The intent is to build a warm community, where neighbors interact and walk on beautiful tree-lined residential streets, and where pedestrian circulation is emphasized. The areas of the site where retail is proposed will be designed to be lively and energized. The Land Use Plan is loosely based upon a grid of interconnected streets that provide multiple routes to any destination. This configuration allows easy pedestrian and vehicular circulation throughout the neighborhood by spreading out traffic loads. Sidewalks, street trees, and appropriately scaled street lights and furniture will provide richly detailed streetscapes. A unique sense of place will be created through the arrangement of vibrant public spaces, a clear hierarchy of pedestrian-friendly streets, a balanced program of residences, retail services, offices, community buildings and spaces, as well as an architecture that responds to the northwest vernacular. Buildings that line public spaces will enclose and frame the public realm, and connect to one another at the scale of the pedestrian. Foremost, Bay Vista will be a residential community, offering numerous types, styles and sizes of residential units types, at varying densities, to meet the community’s housing needs and to accommodate a spectrum of income groups. The heart and center of the community will be the Bay Vista Preserve, a large open space that will provide opportunities for active recreation and passive enjoyment of significant vegetation. Residential neighborhoods will line the park. Smaller parks and open spaces will be located throughout Bay Vista’s neighborhoods and plazas, and more “urban” spaces will be co-located. Different land uses will be arranged compatibly in distinct neighborhoods, and in mixed-use buildings, some of which will have plazas and other urban open spaces. The site’s more intensive land uses including larger high density residential buildings, and a retail/ commercial village – will be located along the site’s outer edges, closer to (but buffered from) major arterials. All of the site’s activities, however, will be within a convenient walk or bike ride via Bay Vista’s system of paths and trails. 1. LANd USE The general arrangement and location of land uses in Bay Vista are shown in Figure 4, which indicates the planned, general locations of proposed land uses. Mix of Land Uses The planned mix of land uses will create a vibrant, attractive and functional community. Residential uses including single-family attached and detached in a variety of designs, and multi-family will predominate. Retail and service uses will also be provided to meet the everyday needs of residents; these activities will support the more diverse, larger scale commercial activities occurring along Kitsap Way, in the designated Oyster Bay Neighborhood Center. Retail/commercial and residential may occur in mixed- use buildings. More intensive and larger-scale land uses (retail, commercial, and larger multi-family buildings) will generally be located closer to the site’s boundaries, transitioning to residential and open space uses in more central portions of the site. Density The allowable gross density based on preliminary 18 November 2012section III : Sub-Area planVILLAGE COMMERCIAL MULTI-FAMILY/ SENIOR HOUSING OPEN SPACE PARKS MULTI-FAMILY/MIXED USE LOW OR MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FIGURE 4 - LAND USE PLAN LEGEND Figure 4 – Land Use Plan bay vista 19 section III : Sub-Area planplat approval is approximately 12 dwelling units per acre. Individual projects must be within the range that is specified for the type of residential unit in the Sub-Area Plan’s development standards. Variations in density are anticipated throughout the site, subject to the limits in the development standards. 2. HOUSING Housing Program Bay Vista will include a mix of for-sale and rental units, and market-rate and public/low-income units. Low-income units will be developed at Bay Vista and will include a mix of residential housing types. 3. OPEN SPACE ANd PARkS Approximately 15 acres of the Bay Vista site will be devoted to various types of parks and open space. As shown on Figure 4, open space and parks will be distributed across the site. Together, they express Bay Vista’s environmental sensitivity, its desire to enrich the health of the community and the individual, and to establish the character of the neighborhood. Landscaping and preservation efforts also offer opportunities for education. School and conservation programs, community work parties and stewardship opportunities will involve residents in preservation and enhancement of their natural environment. Native wildlife will also provide a vital connection with the environment. The Bay Vista Preserve is an approximately 10 acre natural open space that will be preserved in a natural condition. The BHA has conducted a tree survey to identify all significant trees. Low impact trails and limited improvements will also be considered. 4. ROADS AND INFRAStRUCtURE Roads & Pedestrian Circulation Bay Vista’s thoroughfare system – streets, sidewalks and pedestrian paths, shown in Figure 4, is a fundamental element in site design, and will connect areas of the community to each other and to the surrounding neighborhood. The street design promotes pedestrian circulation, while maintaining automobile access for residents and visitors. The street layout provides multiple paths to each home and business, and reduces congestion by distributing traffic across the site. The design and dimensions of major types of streets are addressed in Section IV of the plan, "Zoning & Development Standards." In general, streets utilize narrower widths to reduce impervious area and to slow vehicle speed. Alleys are used for access to private parking for automobiles to preserve the desired pedestrian-orientation of the streetscape and front façades of residential structures. Basic streets types include the following: Neighborhood Streets – One-lane or two-lane roads (varying among neighborhoods) with on-street parallel parking. Sidewalks of varying width are provided on both sides of the street. These streets are lined with trees and include landscaping between the street and Table 1 – Bay Vista Land Use Land Use Zone Area (acres)Maximum Density Multi-family/Mixed Use 11 Up to 65 d.u./acre Multi-family/Senior Housing 6 Up to 65 d.u./acre Village Commercial 14 N/A Open Space 15 N/A Residential 21 Up to 38 d.u./acre Streets 16 N/A t O tAL 83 Up to 12 d.u./acre Notes: (1) See table A-1 for density and dimensional standards. 20 November 2012section III : Sub-Area planthe sidewalk. Bay Vista Boulevard – Provides access to the regional transportation system, is designed as a wider, tree-lined street with two traffic lanes, on-street parking and sidewalks on both sides. Alleys – Provides access to garages for parking and for deliveries and services for Single- Family Attached, Single-family Detached, and other unit types. Pedestrian Paths and “Green Streets” – These are separate from vehicle traffic and provide pedestrian- only between Bay Vista streets, connections between Bay Vista neighborhoods, parks and open spaces, retail activities and services. These paths will also connect to the off-site regional trail system. Infrastructure Bay Vista will be redeveloped with all new utilities and infrastructure, including sewer and water systems and stormwater management. Stormwater systems will include water quality treatment, which is not currently provided on the site. Low Impact Development (LID) approaches for stormwater management, including the use of pervious pavement in some street sections are being pursued in preliminary engineering and design. If feasible economically and geotechnically, this approach could increase infiltration of stormwater, recharge of groundwater, and could potentially reduce runoff below existing levels. Upgrading of the existing Oyster Bay outfall may not be necessary, in this case, to accommodate flows from Bay Vista. d. future CHanges to tHe suB area Plan The Bay Vista Master Plan and Sub-Area Plan are evolving documents and will change incrementally over time in response to changing regional economic conditions, and to ongoing planning, design, environmental review, public involvement and local decision-making. A degree of flexibility is inherent in large-scale, phased master plans; this flexibility is desirable to provide the ability to respond to changes in demographic, economic and market patterns over time. The initial Sub-Area Plan map, adopted in 2007, reflected the conceptual master plan for the site at that time and stage of planning. Some proposed land use designations allowed flexibility in uses, and contemplated that changes could be proposed in the future. For example, it was recognized that Bay Vista’s on-site population and financial requirements could support and/or require additional compatible retail development on the Bay Vista site. Additional retail development was incorporated in the revised Master Plan and Sub-Area Plan. Any significant changes to the conceptual land use map requires thorough consideration through a public review process, including review and action by the Planning Commission and City Council to amend the Comprehensive Plan. Appropriate environmental analysis is also required. Any changes also need to be consistent with the Sub-Area Plan’s goals and development standards. Such changes were proposed in 2008 to modify the Sub-Area Plan's boundaries, increase the number of residential units slightly, and to increase the size and intensity of on-site commercial uses. bay vista 21 section IV : ZONING & DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONSa. land use zones This section of the Sub-Area Plan contains the zoning and development standards that will guide the redevelopment of Bay Vista and will implement the requirements of the site’s zoning designation. The standards address the following elements: Land uses/zones, including density, height, setbacks, building coverage and impervious surface coverage; • General development standards; • Building design; • Streets, sidewalks and driveways; • Parking; • Landscaping; • Parks and open space; • Signs. Design standards are reviewed for conformity by the ARC, as discussed in Sec. III. The current zoning classification for the Bay Vista site is Master Development (MD) [Chapter 20.80 BMC]. The MD zone is applied to sites envisioned for large- scale planned development. These proposals must meet a public need and provide a community benefit, such as redeveloping “blighted” areas or providing affordable housing opportunities. Projects may be proposed by public entities or public-private partnerships, and should result in innovative development. Proposals in the MD zone are required to prepare a Master Development Plan (MDP), which includes standards for development of the site, including uses, density, setbacks, lot coverage and heights. Other required components of an MDP, which are addressed in these regulations, include the following: • An open space plan that protects natural resources and provides recreational opportunities; • Site edge design that is compatible with adjacent uses and densities; • Streetscapes that include amenities, (street trees, planting strips, benches, street lighting, etc.) and other design features that make streets interactive, walkable and enjoyable; • A general landscape plan, including preservation of significant trees where possible; • Adequate off-street parking, which may modify standard requirements if a parking study demonstrates no impact on adjacent properties. 1.

Early in the last century, communities were much more pedestrian-friendly and socially connected. In a traditional neighborhood, one will see residential and commercial uses mixed, or in close proximity to each other. Newer communities, however, have segregated these uses, requiring residents to use their automobiles to do anything outside of their homes. The goal at Bay Vista is to encourage resident interaction by making the streets and buildings as pedestrian-oriented as possible, and to provide mixed uses that allow residents to walk down the street to purchase some basic needs, rather than leaving the community and driving to a retail destination for every need. The look and feel of the community should enhance the pedestrian experience, and the design concept of a varied and interesting village that has evolved and built up over time is a design objective. Large buildings should be designed such that their facades have the appearance of several smaller buildings, using varied colors and materials and modulation, to reduce their apparent scale. Houses and individual townhouse units should be designed to appear as unique buildings grouped together, rather than repetitions of the same façade. Commercial and retail buildings should enhance the window shopping experience, and create a sense of liveliness and quality through the use of varying materials, colors, signage and awnings. Commercial streets should contribute to this effect with enhanced paving materials and the use of street trees, street furnishings and pedestrian-scaled lighting. Commercial and mixed-use buildings should have a timeless character, and a northwestern look and feel. This section will work in tandem with Section IV Zoning and Development Standards. The Design Standards are not City regulations, but will be adopted as Covenants, Conditions, & restrictions (CC&R's) applicable to all property within Bay Vista.
