Grandma's Recipe For Fast Weed Control Page 4 of 7 • The vinegar spray without the soap was not as effective as vinegar with soap It was even obvious while spraying that the plain vinegar was not readily staying on the leaves of the weeds, especially not on crabgrass • Not as many of the broadleaf weeds died, and all were slower to show symptoms Those that survived were quicker to recover Control was about half compared to the spray with soap • The crabgrass also recovered more quickly than in the first batch Soap And Water Only • Dishwashing soap was used at 2 oz per gallon • The soapy water alone had no apparent impact at that concentration on weeds or grass • The soap aids the effectiveness of the vinegar but does nothing on its own (at that rate) I used a small sprayer, 1 1 /z quart size, that pumps up pressure This puts out a smaller, softer spray pattern than my larger tank sprayer It allowed me to confine the spray to the desired area much better I also sprayed some weeds in ground cover and had a little bit of overspray The ground cover died where it was hit, but it is the spreading kind and has filled back in The conclusion appears to be that a vinegar weed killer can be effective on some weeds, in some situations However, consider the following information before you decide to try it http / /www garden- counselor - lawn- care.com/vmegar- weed - killer html 11/20/2013 l, i T 1 1 A J r` 1 4 � I Why Mft N(@Gd 2)3(@0 Nature's Tiny Workers Put Food on our Tables For more information Many people think of bees simply as a summertime nuisance.

IN COUNCIL, OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA DEC 16 W7 , 19 PASSED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES- BRUNNER, CHANG, DE LA FUENTE, MILEY, NADEL, REID, RUSSO, SPEES AND PRESIDENT HARRIS --- NOES- J V O ► DE U✓ ABSENT- IV ABSTENTION- � U � � ATTEST • CEDA FLOYD City Clerk and Clerk of the Co X243 tM7y of the City of Oakland Califog a The Case Against Round -Up by Terrence N Ingram Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has been devastating honeybee colonies across much of the country and world during the past few years. There have been many theories about the cause of this calamity. More and more the research is leaning toward insecticides as the cause. Perhaps this is not quite in the right direction to which we should be looking. Perhaps we should be looking at Round -Up, which presently is the most commonly used herbicide in the world The author has been keeping bees for 55 years, with up to 250 colonies in some years, and producing an average high of 200# of honey per colony Through selective breeding 20 years ago, he had produced a Carniolan /Caucasian strain of honeybees, which seemed to be definitely resistant to both mites, wintering well using very little honey, were gentle and very good honey producers, only to have all of these bees decimated by sprays in 1996, when planes were spraying neighboring fields of soybeans every three weeks from Mid -June to the 20th of August Thousands of acres were sprayed over a period of four or five days each time, some of these acres within 1/4 mile of his home yard There were no dead bees in front of the hives to document his losses; the colonies dust collapsed, then would almost recover within three weeks, only to be devastated once more The colonies were all dead before the end of September. The commercial farmer claimed that his planes were only spraying Round -Up, and no insecticides, so there should be no damage to honeybees As far as the author is concerned, Round -Up is causing CCD. It has been the mayor cause of his bee losses for the past 13 years. It has been 13 years since he has enough honey to extract. As he explains what Round -Up does to a bee colony think about how your bees have reacted at different times of the spring and summer during the last few years. Perhaps you have experienced some of the same problems, but never knew what was happening to your bees. Have you lost good young queens right during the middle of a honey flow, or in the spring when the colony was in the midst of really expanding? Have you had colonies which did not expand during the late spring, even though they had lots of brood every time you looked at them? Have your colonies experienced spring dwindling to such a point they either die or abscond? Have you been forced to feed your colonies to keep them alive? Have you looked into your colonies and seen dead sealed brood outside the cluster of bees? Have you lost colonies within a period of dust a few weeks? When these colonies are gone, is there still sealed brood in the center of the area where the cluster was? Have you put new packages of bees into hives with beautiful used brood comb, only to have the bees abscond, or disappear within two weeks after installing them) Do you have an unusually high loss of queens in the spring, either from your packages or from your over wintered hives? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then you may have experienced Round -Up' Twenty years ago by raising his own own queens for years and never bringing in new queens, the author had developed a strain of honeybees which he felt were superior to any he could buy. They were gentle, never having to use smoke to take care of them. They had varroa mites, but lived with them with no chemicals needed. The mites were not an economic problem' The hives wintered over using almost no honey, with many of the hives still having almost a full super of honey left in the spring. They were good workers, bringing in as many as 10 to 12 medium supers of extracted honey or 10 supers of Ross Rounds in one season The bees never swarmed, his having lost no swarms from 250 hives for two years in a row, while producing the above mentioned crops of honey Page 2— Round -Up Before the first aerial spraying in mid -June of 1996 each colony had ten deep frames of brood and a bee population filling two to three supers. A few days after this first flight each hive was left with not enough bees to keep the ten frames of brood warm, so the outer frames on each side of the cluster would chill and die In three weeks enough brood would have hatched, so the colonies would have enough bees to once again cover the ten frames of brood. The chilled frames of brood would be cleaned out and the queen would be once again filling them with eggs and brood. During this time all of the honey in the supers was used to feed the brood. Then in three weeks the colony would be sprayed once more and this time there would only be enough bees left to cover a couple of frames of brood The other eight frames of brood would be chilled, as we had several cold nights in a row, which is sometimes common in our Northern Illinois climate. It seemed that two sprays, which occurred within four weeks, was all it took to kill the whole colony before winter But the plane kept spraying every three weeks all summer The bees never had a chance and all of the hives were dead before winter. Over the years since then the author has tried to find out what insecticides were being responsible for these kills of honeybee colonies. Each spring for the past 13 years the author would purchase new packages only to have them all be killed by fall Many times the farmers insisted that they were not using insecticides, only Round -Up, and yet the bees still disappeared When the author complained to the Illinois Department of Agriculture, inspectors were sent out to inspect his losses. Their final decision was that they could find no illegal use of pesticides. Legal or not legal, his bees were being killed. State bee inspectors came and inspected his colonies and stated that he had foulbrood in all of his hives. The author told the bee inspectors that they did not have to come back until they could tell the difference between foulbrood and chilled brood, and until that time they were doing a disservice to the beekeeping industry Those same hives and equipment have been used ever since with no sign of dead brood until after a spray event has occurred. Observation hives were started using frames from these inspected hives and the observation hives have been alive for three years with not signs of dead brood, except for a short time after a spraying of Round -Up The author has since determined that if Round -up is last used from mid to late August, the hives cannot recover well enough to even make it into the winter, unless they receive lots on feed, sugar syrup and /or honey. The queens may have been killed, and if not, there may not be enough bees left to take care of any brood they do have, especially if there is a cold and wet fall and the colony will die Even if the beekeeper adequately feeds the colonies, the hives may be found empty of bees later in the season. The bees may have dust absconded. In this area Round -up is the mayor cause of spring dwindling Colonies may be strong coming out of the winter, but after Round -up has been applied within one mile of the colonies, their populations will rapidly dwindle and the hand writing is on the wall for those colonies, unless they have plenty of food left over, or are fed an ample amount of food. If the Round -Up is used before the colonies are really flying well, the hives may survive, if they would still have about 40# of honey left over The author put a full super of honey on one surviving hive this last spring and the bees used almost all of this honey getting their population back to the point where it had been when it came out of the winter. Page 3— Round -Up What does Round -up Do? Round up kills the field force or at least makes them so sick they do not come back to the hive, which for a honeybee is the same difference A beekeeper never finds enough dead bees near the hives to send in to be tested How can you walk over 16 square miles looking for dead bees) Many of the field bees are killed almost immediately, depending on how close the field is to where the hives are located. If the field that is sprayed is within one mile of the hives then the hives that were foraging in that direction lose their field force within three days. Other hives will lose their field force more gradually But before a week all colonies will be about the same. The problem is that if they are not killed outright, these workers before they get too sick, will bring back contaminated food to the hive to be used to feed the young If a colony has 20- 40,000 bees in its field force, a lot of contaminated food is brought back and stored in the hive before the field force dies. Something eventually makes the bees sick, and any beekeeper knows that a sick bee will leave its hive so the rest of the colony may remain healthy and other bees do not have to take the time to carry out their dead bodies. It seems that Round -up gets into the royal jelly gland of the workers and the larva that are fed this food, die also. If a queen is really laying eggs, over 3,000 per day, she may be killed by this poisoned royal jelly. The colony then tries to requeen, but because all of the young queens are fed the same poisoned food and they may die in their cells So within two weeks the colony will be queenless, with no young larva and no way to raise a new queen. Such a hive must have a queen added, or it will die very shortly If a hive has little extra food in the hive, the newly hatched bees try to fill the void and become the new field force, so they can get the necessary food for the hives' survival. The problem is that these bees are also dead within a day or two of starting into being field bees. If the hive has plenty of food, the new bees that have just hatched, don't have to leave the hive to find the necessary food, and then the hive may possibly recover But it will be at least three weeks before things will start to get back to semi- normal in the hive When farmers spray Round -Up every three weeks, the hives have just started to get back to normal, when their populations are send into another tail spin. If the colony does not have sufficient food in house and the weather is inclement and /or cold, the hive may be dead within two weeks. The only thing remaining in that hive will be some sealed brood, some of which has hatching bees which have died part way out of their cells, having starved with their tongues hanging out Even if the hive survives there will be dead sealed brood outside the now reduced bee cluster, which have chilled. These cell cappings remain raised and not sunken like is seen with foulbrood. These cappings remain raised for over five years But a bee inspector, who can't tell the difference, will diagnose the hive as having foulbrood. I do not doubt that there may be some foulbrood spores found in this comb, but there are probably many other viruses found there as well, which some University research studies are finding and trying to blame for CCD. These Universities are not looking in the right direction for the true cause of what killed that colony Until Round -up is banned we are going to have to try to live with it. That means we are going to have to watch our hives very closely at all times and watch out for spraying in the vicinity of the hives. This spraying does Page 4— Round -Up not have to be just aerial spraying, it could be tractor or truck spraying, which has the same effect. It may be aggravated by other chemicals, but most of the time the farmers near my hives claim that they have been using nothing other than Round -Up The best colonies will be the ones which lose their queens. The queens don't have to be old. They may be only two months old, but if laying at full speed, over 3,000 eggs per day, they may die from being fed this poisoned royal belly. If this happens, the chances of the colony being able to raise a new queen to replace her is almost nil, for most of the young larva will be fed this same poisoned food Even though the colony survived the author has lost many of his best queens because of this and new queens had to be added. At first the author didn't know what was happening, but after watching very closely and keeping records he have finally put two and two together to determine what actually was happening. His three observation hives in the office have been a real blessing as he has been able to watch what has been occurring in his other hives. Whenever a beekeeper finds the size of his /her hive cluster rapidly reduced to about 1/4 of its original size, be concerned. When almost half of the workers are fuzzy, showing they are freshly hatched, the beekeeper knows that the other half of the bees are dust a few days old. If this is the case, the beekeeper wants to be sure that there is plenty of food available for the hive, so these young bees don't have to leave the hive to find food. In a normal hive, the fuzzy bees account for less than one out of 20 bees, unless the beekeeper is looking in the brood nest where the young bees are hatching, he or she normally doesn't really notice the fuzzy bees. Round -Up doesn't dust get into the honey and /or pollen, but it migrates into the comb Once it is in the comb, the bees don't like to even walk on the comb If there becomes many combs contaminated with this chemical, the bees will actually abscond the hive, leaving fresh brood behind, which will be chilled within a day or two. This may occur in a strong or weak hive, causing what some would call CCD, except I know the cause. It may happen in May, June or even September. The author put a frame of this contaminated dark comb into a two frame observation hive, placing the contaminated comb in the bottom of the hive, with foundation in the frame above it When he placed some new bees and a queen into the hive, the bees tried to keep as far away from this contaminated comb as possible. They started to draw out the foundation in the top frame from the upper two corners and would not even walk on the comb in the lower frame. After about a week when the foundation in the top frame was about 1/2 drawn out, the bees finally decided to leave and absconded the hive, leaving young brood and eggs behind. They had never used a single cell in the contaminated comb So the author took that frame out and scraped this contaminated comb off of the plasticell foundation. Then he coated this plasticell foundation with clean wax and put it back in the hive. When he placed a new queen and workers in the hive they drew out the foundation on both frames and he never saw any more ill effects of the poison that year. Another two frame observation hive was using the bottom frame for brood when Round -Up was applied over 1/2 mile away from the hive in August. The brood away from the reduced cluster died, the smaller cluster of bees continued to raise brood in the top frame and by being fed, they made it through the winter But the next spring when the cluster was expanding they needed both frames for brood. Instead of using this old comb they tore it down and built out new comb on the plasticell foundation. Page 5— Round -Up Even though there was plenty of brood and the cluster should have been expanding, it did not expand while the bees were tearing this comb down. It seemed that the bees which worked on tearing this comb apart died, so there was a constant drain on the population in the hive. This old comb was not removed from the hive, but was dust dropped to the bottom of the hive. There the bees covered it, (comb pieces piled 1/2 inch thick across the whole bottom of the hive) with propolis, like they would a dead mouse. After that was done, then the hive population started to expand and is still going two years later, issuing swarms each summer Two years ago, by closely monitoring the hives which were being used for his beginning beekeeping class, the author was able to gather circumstantial evidence that every time the herbicide Round -Up was used by neighboring farmers his colonies were affected. Different hives were affected differently depending on: how much excess honey had been stored in the hive at the time; how much brood was being raised; how close the sprayed field was to the hives; what target plant was being sprayed, how much time had passed since the last spray, what other blooming plants were near the sprayed fields; and what the weather was like at the time of the spray application. Research must still be done to determine how all of these factors affect the honeybees The colony's field force was lost 1000 of the time. How fast a colony recovered from this loss depended on some of the other factors listed above. Sometimes the queens were killed, as well as some of the brood and field force. Because of this the author believes that there is something that is brought back to the hives in either the honey, or pollen, that gets into the royal belly, which the queen and larva are fed, which is strong enough to kill the recipients of this food. A queen in a strong hive laying from 3,500 to 4,000 eggs per day is fed copious amounts of royal belly from many different bees If enough of them have this chemical in their royal belly, or if this chemical is being concentrated in the royal belly producing gland in the worker's heads, the queen would be the biggest receptor in the hive, and thus would be most affected by such a chemical. A couple of the author's best queens, (most prolific), disappeared from their hives dust a few days after the sprays were used the past two summers. All young unsealed larva would also be killed. We still must determine the answers to several questions: How do 100% the field bees die during the initial spray even if they are not all out in that field at the time of the spray? How do they pick up the spray after the event? Do they accumulate the poison by walking on the sprayed plants, or do they accumulate it from the nectar, or from the pollen of the plants they are working? How many days, or hours, does it take for a worker bee to be unable to fly, or to be unable to find her way back to the hive? Because there is something definitely affecting the brood and queens, some of the workers must be able to make at least one or two trips back to the hive to bring this chemical back to the hive with them. How does the chemical eventually kill the workers that do get back? long does it take after a spray event before the complete field force has disappeared? These are all questions for which we need to get an answer in the future. Living with Round -Up! What Can Be Done? The author recommends that a beekeeper check his or her colonies at least once every week to determine how strong are the populations and how much honey stores are available for the bees. The colony must also be checked to be sure the queen is alright and still laying eggs If the queen has been killed, the Page 6— Round -Up chances are very poor that the colony will be able to raise a new one from any of its own brood. They may try, but the odds are that all of the young queens will die in their cells. A new queen or a sealed queen cell must be introduced, or the colony will die very shortly. Of course, there is no guarantee, for it may die or abscond even then. If the queen is still laying eggs, but there are less than two full frames of sealed honey available for the bees, the colony must be fed immediately. It does not matter whether sugar syrup is fed or frames of sealed honey are used. Feeding must be continued until the colony has at least 6 frames of brood with three frames of food available. Feeding must be done, whether it is spring, summer or fall. Feeding the hive is the only hope that the colony has of surviving. Old combs should not be used if the hives had been exposed to Round -Up previously. Be sure to use fresh foundation to start out your new packages, or when capturing a new swarm, to lessen any problems with contaminated combs If you are using plasti -cell foundation the old comb can be scraped off, but then you need to re -wax the foundation with uncontaminated wax. I urge all of the bee supply companies which are making beeswax foundation to get their beeswax checked for Round -Up residue in their wax. Round -Up contaminated beeswax could possibly be used for candles, but should not be used for foundation Living with Round -Up is not easy. If the farmers use Round -Up more than once during the summer there is almost no way to keep the hives alive. Being exposed to Round -Up once may not kill the hive, but it will reduce the population so much that the bees may not get strong enough to gather excess honey for the beekeeper that season If the only use of Round -Up occurs in early to mid - April, the hive may gather some excess honey, but only if the beekeeper is on top of the situation and feeds the hives very liberally, immediately. If the exposure occurs in Mid -June or later, the beekeeper will be lucky to have the hives alive with adequate stores for going into winter. If the Round -up is used in August there is almost no hope of getting the hive populations strong enough to make it through the winter, even if they are fed very liberally. Some neighboring beekeepers are even considering the possibility of killing off their hives in the fall and starting with packages every spring, for they are losing too many hives, even though they spend a lot of effort and money to feed their hives, both spring and fall Because of his experiences, the author firmly believes that Round -Up is the mayor cause of CCD in honeybees in this country' He would like to receive comments from other beekeepers about their experiences with Round -Up Round -Up should be banned for any use within two miles of honeybees' Roundup Weed Killer Dangerous To Your Health?

Development Director, explained that the City Council passed Ordinance No 5167 on November 2, 2011 suspending expenditures from the One Percent for the Arts Program for the selection, development, and placement of art to January 1, 2014 due to the City's budget constraints The ordinance allows expenditures from the program for the repair, maintenance, and installation of our current One Percent for the Arts collection Additionally, the ordinance also allows the period of suspension to be shortened or lengthened by the City Council by a motion or resolution City Council Mtg Minutes Wednesday, November 6, 2013 Page 3of6 The One Percent for the Arts program is administered by the Department of Community Development In the 2012, the department's staff member that was dedicated to the One Percent for the Arts program was eliminated from the department, and this necessitated the original suspension of the program The department continues to operate without this position, and because of other work priorities such as the Comprehensive Plan mayor update, DCD does not currently have the capacity to administer the program Further, the City has no planned capital improvement projects that will contribute to the One Percent for the Arts program and therefore no opportunities for acquisition of new art in the near future For this reason, the administration is proposing to extend the suspension of the program for an additional two years as established by Ordinance No 5167 There were no questions or comments from the public 06:11:53 Motion was made by Wofford, and seconded by Daugs

hearing is to take comments on the proposed revenue sources for the 2014 Proposed Budget The proposed budget anticipates property and EMS levy increases of the full 1 % allowed by law, leaving the utility taxes /PILOT rates unchanged (but does redistribute how the revenues from these sources are used), leaves commercial parking tax rates unchanged, adjusts the annual $20,000 increase to the B &O tax exemption rate, adjusts anticipated utility rate increases down from what anticipated with the adopted rate model, includes interfund transfers between funds where appropriate, etc Overall, revenue projections throughout all funds remain conservative President Wheeler opened the public hearing With no public comments, President Wheeler then closed the public hearing No action was required or taken 7C — PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 5227 LEVYING PROPERTY TAXES FOR COLLECTION IN 2014 Becky Hasart Financial Services Director, stated that Cities over 10,000 in population are allowed to raise their annual property tax collection by either 1 % or the amount of the July Implicit Price Deflator (IPD), whichever is lower This year, the IPD was 1 314% As presented during the public hearing earlier this evening, the City is requesting the full 1% increase to our general property tax levy over the prior year's collection, as allowed by law This increase, along with the amounts anticipated for new construction, has been included in the 2014 Proposed Budget In addition, we are also requesting the full 1% increase to our EMS levy However, the EMS levy is subject to the $0 50 per $1,000 cap in the levy rate The EMS amount anticipated in the 2014 Proposed Budget reflects this limitation RCW 84 52 020 requires all taxing districts to "certify to the county legislative authority, for the purpose of levying district taxes the amounts to be raised" by property taxes RCW 84 55 120 requires that the certification includes the enabling tax ordinance setting the property

from the KRCC Planning Directors Forum May 28, 2013 Planning Within the Growth Management Act Jurisdictions planning under the WA State Growth Management Act are required to plan for population growth within the WA State Office of Financial Management (OFM) projected growth range (shown in Table 1 below for Kitsap County) as the basis for individual jurisdictions' Comprehensive Planning and Updates The Kitsap adopted growth targets are embodied in the Kitsap Countywide Planning Policies, last updated in 2011 At that time, the countywide 2025 population projection was not changed from the 2004/2007 projections, anticipating that federal Census data would become available in the short-term The next required update for Kitsap jurisdictions' Comprehensive Plans is in 2016 for a 2035 planning horizon The GMA allows counties to select the growth target within the OFM range that best reflects local conditions and policy intentions To date, Kitsap has chosen to plan for the OFM intermediate population growth projection, historically the most accurate throughout the State In 2012, OFM has provided a 2035 population range for Kitsap (244,823 to 408,976) While its intermediate point (311,737) is WA State's best estimate, OFM provides a wide range recognizing that jurisdictions' local circumstances may not be adequately addressed in the OFM Intermediate projection Table 1: WA State OFM Projections for Kitsap Population Growth: Comparison of Current 2012 Projections to 2004 OFM Projections as of: 2004 2012 For Planning Horizon: 2025 2025 2035 Low 268,573 240,939 244,823 Intermediate 331,571 289,265 311,737 High 412,391 1 355,786 408,976 Kitsap Projected Growth: Adopted through CPPY 331,571 Proposed for 2013 CPP Update 331,571 1 As per CPP's adopted November, 2004, no change during 2007, 2011 CPP revisions KRCC Summary of 2013 CPP Updates Page 7 of 17 Proposed Kitsap Approach to Population Distribution The Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council's (KRCC) Planning Directors Forum's recommendation is to extend the adopted 2025 population projection out to 2035 The extension of 331,571 persons from 2025 to 2035 is a 22 3% reduction in the projected annual growth rate for Kitsap (from 144% to 112%), reflecting the severe worldwide economic downturn and its impacts on growth in Kitsap and Washington State Historically, Kitsap has increased the population target between 30,000 and 40,000 people with each 10- year forecast extension Staying with the 2025 projection for 2035 reflects a net decrease in planned population The 331,571 closely achieves the Puget Sound Regional Council's Vision 2040 growth strategy for the region In the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS), Kitsap's 2040 share of the overall regional population is 9% Extending the 331,571 population target to 2035 is consistent with this percentage (further analysis below) Recognizing that the broad OFM range is intended to address the potential uncertainty of OFM's projections due to unforeseen local circumstances, jurisdictions must evaluate data beyond the OFM- provided Intermediate projection to properly analyze the impacts of local circumstances on population projections, which are the foundation for local comprehensive plan development In assessing local circumstances, the substantial impact of military employment and population on Kitsap must be considered This is often difficult to quantify due to the confidential policies of the US Navy Neither OFM nor PSRC can accurately capture these impacts in a specific population projection They do not fully capture the fluid nature of military employment and associated population With the new explosives handling wharf at Bangor and the increased importance of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard as military operations shift to the Pacific, there is substantial reason to expect a potential increase in military population over the next 22 years Additionally, the effects of military retirees returning to the Puget Sound, Kitsap in particular, are not captured in the OFM projections, and would have an increasing effect All of these rationales have been supported by senior US Navy personnel Consistency with the Puget Sound Regional Council's Regional Growth Strategy Kitsap County and the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council (KRCC) have completed a local analysis of growth for the 2010 -2035 planning horizon Based upon several assumptions regarding local circumstances, KRCC staff and its member jurisdictions have proposed extending the 2025 countywide population target (331,517) to 2035 It would require local jurisdictions to plan for 80,438 additional residents over this time period Kitsap County has analyzed the Puget Sound Regional Council's (PSRC) Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) for consistency with the proposed Countywide population projection of 331,571 by 2035 The results show the proposed population projection of 331,571 for 2035 and the growth change of 80,438 (2010 -2035) are consistent with the RGS Kitsap County population growth control total calculation is illustrated below: 1 Began with the Washington Office of Financial Management's (OFM) Growth Management Act County Series (2012 series, intermediate) These numbers are provided for each region to allocate growth KRCC Summary of 2013 CPP Updates Page 8 of 17 targets to Cities and set their unincorporated Urban Growth Area boundaries Additionally, these are the numbers used by PSRC for the regional control total 2 Next, the 2010 US Census data was used as the base year population of the planning horizon and the OFM Intermediate target for the 2035 end year When applied to the four central Puget Sound counties, the calculations for regional total and population change are shown in Table 2 below.

loaded /Back - loaded Growth Assumptions o Overall, we understand that the next set of targets will need to be aggressive in order to meet the current Regional Growth Strategy That said, we believe that the next Vision 2040 Update and RGS should address and account for the "market correction" slow - growth - period from the 2008 recession to now Considering the distribution of projected growth throughout Kitsap County and its communities • Growth in Poulsbo and Port Orchard is front - loaded (although annexing areas that are already developing does not lead to net increase of county population) • Bremerton The City of Bremerton has excess residential capacity for its current needs This chosen strategy supports 15 years of urban re- vitalization /renewal, including extensive re- development in the downtown core (Norm Dicks Government Center, Bremerton Harborside Condominiums and Marina, home ownership support programs, for example) Public investments have led to private investment new residential, entertainment venues, extensive commercial re- development As the economy revives, we are confident that the City will fully realize its urban future Other contributing factors continued Dept of Defense focus on the Naval Base Kitsap complex, South Kitsap Industrial Area build -out, local effects of regional economic development strategies • Silverdale There is currently no plan to expand Silverdale's Urban Growth Boundary Kitsap County staff, working with citizens and elected officials, will be looking at how to densify the community, for a number of reasons, through the 2016 Comp Plan Update • Rural Area Recognizing that the 1992 GMA found Kitsap County distinctly less urbanized (with more growth capacity) than Counties east of Puget Sound, it is no surprise that Kitsap's existing development pattern is different than King, Snohomish, and Pierce - Kitsap's urban communities have had to mature into their GMA role, in a manner that retains and actually enhances their unique community characters Thus, there is a lag time between Kitsap's growth and that of the other Counties The process is well - underway, despite five years of the slow - growth economy As part of the Buildable Lands Report, Kitsap County will highlight the rural lot supply in comparison to urban, to evaluate the relative rate of development Further, the Kitsap Countywide Planning Policies include a policy commitment to re- calibrate targeted growth to the rural area in response to demonstrated success in urban growth and densification Sincerely, Mary McClure Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council KRCC Summary of 2013 CPP Updates Page 16 of 17 Puget Sound Regional Council August 6, 2013 Mary McClure Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council P O Box 1934 Kingston, WA 98346 Dear Mary Thank you for your July 31, 2013 letter that responded to our comments on Kitsap's Initial Proposed Population Targets This letter represents our formal comments on the proposed revisions to Appendix B Countywide Population Distribution to 2035 Population Targets On May 24, 2013, PSRC transmitted a letter with our Preliminary Comments on the Initial Proposed Kitsap County 2010 -2035 Growth Targets The letter noted that the baseline expectation is a demonstration of substantive good faith effort to begin bending local growth trends towards the numeric goals established in the Regional Growth Strategy To that end, we indicated the "effect of holding the horizon year totals consistent with the previous round of targets is that the proposed targets for four of the regional geographies (Metro, Core, Smaller, and Rural) represent a notable shift toward bending historical trends to align with the Regional Growth Strategy " The KRCC June 28 Executive Board Action packet, Appendix B, includes identical population growth targets as previously commented on by PSRC Given thus, PSRC has no additional comments on the population growth targets other than to congratulate you for having successfully moved forward in your process Employment and Housing Unit Targets In its May 24, 2013 letter, PSRC described the VISION 2040 expectation for the adoption of local employment and housing unit targets Since that time, PSRC has worked with KRCC to address questions and comments On July 31, 2013, KRCC transmitted a letter to PSRC discussing the process to be used to develop and use these targets Dialogue between PSRC and KRCC clarified a number of issues I want to express PSRC's support for the proposed "two -step approach" for developing and adopting these targets and acknowledge some of the positive elements expressed in the recent letter Specifically, PSRC highlights the following • The term "policy document" accurately reflects the status of the targets and moves away from the "white paper" concept that was of concern in the April/May timeframe The employment and housing unit targets will have similar status and therefore can be used in a manner comparable to the population targets 1011 Western Avenue, Suite 500 • Seattle, WA 98104 -1035 • (206) 464 -7090 • FAX (206) 587 -4825 • psrc org KRCC Summary of 2013 CPP Updates Page 17 of 17 Mary McClure August 6, 2013 Page 2 • The language indicating "a commitment to use the targets in Comp Plan Updates" addresses questions PSRC had regarding an initial draft letter circulated for comment dated July 22, 2013 PSRC also understands that the employment and housing unit targets policy document will be formally adopted by a resolution of the KRCC Executive Board • The commitment to finish the work on the employment and housing unit targets by the end of 2014, thereby allowing an adequate timeframe for j unsdictions, to use them, is very positive • The "within 5 years" commitment to update the countywide planning policies makes the process for employment and housing unit targets comparable to population targets, albeit with a longer timeframe until full adoption Reasonable Measures & Growth Assumptions The July 31, 2013 KRCC letter also addresses reasonable measures to "bend the trend " We commend KRCC and planning staff for compiling reasonable measures information into a Desktop Manual The letter notes a suggestion from some Kitsap Planning Directors to update the manual during 2014 to support the comprehensive plan updates, buildable lands, and other planning activities PSRC expresses its support for this update Reasonable measures play a critical role under the state Growth Management Act in ensuring that urban land is efficiently used As noted in the KRCC letter, the economic recession has altered the planning landscape in a variety of way, updating the 2008 version of the manual can improve local understanding of which tools and measures have been, and can be, successful in Kitsap jurisdictions PSRC also wants to acknowledge other work done to "Bend the Trend" in terms of platting activity and thinking through front - loaded and back - loaded growth assumptions Some of the efforts noted in the KRCC letter — looking at how to densify Silverdale, highlighting the rural lot supply in comparison to urban in order to evaluate the relative rate of development, and implementing the policy commitment to re- calibrate targeted growth to the rural area in response to demonstrated success in urban growth and densification — are all positive actions and we commend you for addressing them The conversations we had to date on the population targets, and the process to develop the employment and housing unit targets, continue to strengthen the important communication channels needed to move forward together PSRC looks forward to working with KRCC and the Kitsap planning directors on the next stages of this important process Sincerely, Charlie Ho21ntegrated Director of Planni ng cc Mark Gulbranson, PSRC Ivan Miller, PSRC RESOLUTION NO. 3ao8 A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Bremerton, Washington, ratifying amendments to the Kitsap Countywide Planning Policies WHEREAS, the Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) are written policy statements used solely for establishing a countywide framework from which County and City comprehensive plans are developed and adopted to ensure that their comprehensive plans are consistent, and WHEREAS, the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council (KRCC) originally adopted CPPs in 1992 to coordinate countywide planning among local jurisdictions, and WHEREAS, it is necessary and appropriate to update and revise CPPs periodically to assist the coordination of local planning to keep current with changing conditions and expectations, and WHEREAS, the KRCC concluded the 2013 CPP update process with a set of recommended amendments to the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners on September 24, 2013, and WHEREAS, the 2013 CPP amendments can be generally summarized as follows, they clarify the process for siting of essential public facilities to be consistent with the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) and establish the countywide population distribution through the year 2035, and WHEREAS, the Kitsap County Board of County Commissioners is expected to adopt the revised CPPs as recommended by the KRCC with the passage of an ordinance on November 25, 2013, and WHEREAS, under the amendment procedures incorporated in the CPPs, revisions to the CPPs adopted by the Board of County Commissioners do not take effect until ratified by cities and Tribes within Kitsap County, and WHEREAS, the City of Bremerton considers the CPPs as recommended by the KRCC Board on September 24, 2013, to be of benefit to the planning, development and growth interests of the City and County, NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREMERTON, WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS- SECTION L The City of Bremerton approves and ratifies the updated Kitsap Countywide Planning Policies, attached hereto as Exhibit A, as recommended by the KRCC, conditioned upon and subject to adoption by the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners 1 Countywide Planning Policies Radficadon 2013 SECTION 2.

Countywide Growth Pattern The vision for the future of Kitsap County, "seeks to maintain and enhance the quality of life that makes our County a special place to live and work envision a future in which our natural systems are protected, the water quality in our lakes, streams and Puget Sound is enhanced, the village character of some of our smaller towns is preserved, the historical nature of our communities is respected in order to preserve our heritage for future generations, a diversified economic base that supports good jobs, contributes to healthy downtowns in our Cities and affordable housing choices, the rural appearance of our county is perpetuated This vision of the future, shared by citizens and elected officials, includes the following elements a Livable urban communities and neighborhoods, centers for employment, civic activities, housing • Attractive, well designed, bike /pedestnan- friendly and livable urban communities, enhanced by preserved historic properties and neighborhoods, that are supported by efficient and high quality services and facilities, and provide a range of housing choices. • Healthy cities that are the region's centers for employment, affordable housing choices, and civic and cultural activities b Vital diversified economy An economy that provides training, education, and living wage fobs for residents, supported by adequate buildable land for a range of employment uses and that encourages accomplishment of local economic development goals as articulated in the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance's adopted plan, Kitsap 20/20 A Strategy for Sustainable Economic Prosperity C. Efficient multi -modal transportation system Creation of an efficient, clean, and sustainable multi - modal transportation system — including roads and highways, public transportation, ferries, airports, and opportunities for non - motonzed travel — that provides efficient access and mobility for county residents, and supports our land use pattern d Natural systems protection • Protection and enhancement of the natural environment, including wetlands, streams, wildlife habitat, shorelines, water quality, air, climate, and natural resource lands • Creation of a system of open space, trails, parks, and greenbelts that provide opportunities for recreation and that give structure and separation to urban areas e Rural character- Maintenance of the traditional character, appearance, economic and ecological functions, and lifestyles of Kitsap County's rural communities and areas to include the production and distribution of locally grown food f Responsive Government An efficient and responsive government that works in partnership with citizens, governmental entities and Tribes to meet collective needs fairly, and that supports education, environmental protection and human services. A key strategy to accomplish this vision is the intention to encourage future urban growth in areas within incorporated cities and in unincorporated areas that are already characterized by urban growth with existing and planned services and facilities These actions will work to strengthen our natural environment and rural character, and are geared to reduce taxpayer costs by focusing the expenditure of public funds, encouraging concentrated development where appropriate, and increasing our choices for housing and jobs " s Date ofAdoption "' -•°mber 4 2011 CPP RATIFICATION RESOLUTION EXHIBIT A Balancing historical patterns of growth with a preferred vision of the future and legal requirements is an on -going challenge Tradeoffs must be made to balance the costs with the gains, flexibility is necessary to adapt to changing conditions These policies are intended to reflect the long -term goals of the people living, working and doing business here Policies for Countywide Growth Pattern (CW) 1.

The 2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendment docket is summarized as follows On March 27, 2013, Olympic Property Group /West Hills LLC submitted a request for a land use map change The submittal affects two parcels located at 3rd Avenue West and Sinclair Way /West Sunn Ford Lane (tax id #282401 -1- 085- 2001and 282401 -1- 086 -2000) for a total of 36 acres. The parcels are currently designated Industrial Park, and the proposal is to re- designate them to Low Density Residential As shown in ordinance Exhibit B, the site plan identifies the surrounding land use designations to the subject parcels which include City of Bremerton Low Density Residential and Industrial Park, and Kitsap County Urban Reserve, Urban Industrial, and Urban Medium Residential. The surrounding uses include the Sun Ford Apartments, single - family homes, Wright Creek Industrial Park, Water Reservoir, warehouses and undeveloped land Planning Commission has reviewed the submitted Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application, and compliance with BMC 2010 080, Decision Criteria for Comprehensive Plan and has recommended the land use map change which is described in ordinance Exhibit A Once included in the Low Density Residential land designation within the Comprehensive Plan, the two subject parcels will be required to be rezoned to the Low Density (R -10) zoning designation as set forth in BMC 20 60 Attachment 2 Planning Commission Minutes Attachment 2 CITY OF BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING May 21, 2013 CALL TO ORDER Chair Jose called the regular meeting of the Bremerton Planning Commission to order at 5 30 p m ROLL CALL Commissioners Present Staff Present Chair Jose Andrea Spencer, Director, Department of Community Development Vice Chair Tift Allison Daniels, Current Planner, Department of Community Development Commissioner Albright Commissioner Dinkuhn Commissioner Lambert Commissioner Simpson Commissioner Strube Quorum Certified APPROVAL OF AGENDA VICE CHAIR TIFT MOVED TO APPROVE THE AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

Workshop: 2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket Ms. Daniels introduced Elizabeth Wilson and Jon Rose, who were present to speak regarding the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment Attachment 2 Ms. Daniels provided a brief overview of the Comprehensive Plan amendment process She reminded them that the Growth Management Act (GMA) requires all cities in the State to adopt a comprehensive plan, which is a 20 -year plan that guides the City's overall strategy for growth and development The City's Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted in 2004 She advised that the GMA also allows cities to amend their comprehensive plans on an annual basis to reflect current conditions that may not have been addressed prior to the plan's adoption The City's deadline for Comprehensive Amendment applications is April I" of each year, and this year the City only received one application She ieviewed the process for reviewing Comprehensive Plan amendments, which includes a workshop and public hearing before the Planning Commission, a Planning Commission recommendation to the City Council, a workshop and public hearing before the City Council, and a final decision by the City Council She noted that the proposed amendment would change the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map If approved, the applicant would also be required to submit a rezone application. Ms. Daniels advised that a public hearing before the Planning Commission has been tentatively scheduled for September 17` This will provide time for staff to analyze the proposed amendment and provide feedback to the Commission The proposed aiendment will be presented to the City Council for a workshop discussion on October 23 and a public hearing and final decision on November 6 Ms Daniels displayed a section of the City's zoning map, which shows the subject property in red. The applicant, Olympic Property Group (OPG), West Hills LLC, is proposing to change the land -use designation in the Comprehensive Plan Map for the 36 -acre parcel from Industrial Park (iP) to Low- Density Residential (R -10) She noted that the current IP designation limits uses to industrial, and the proposed designation would allow uses such as single - family homes and parks She advised that the subject pioperty is currently undeveloped, with an unpaved access road that is only accessible by bicycles and pedestrians The property was previously considered as Phase i1 of the Wright Creek Business Park, with Phase I being located to the northwest of the site No permits have been submitted for Phase II of the project, and the property was never platted to accommodate the development The property is currently zoned as Industrial Park (IP), as well Ms. Daniels reviewed the uses and zoning that surrounds the subject property She noted that the majority of properties to the northeast are zoned and developed as residential. The property to the southwest of the subject property is also zoned residential but is cuirently undeveloped There is a small 1P zone duectly to the east, which is currently developed as warehouses, and further to the east is the Sunn Fjord apartment complex There is also undeveloped, low - density residential zoning to the east The property directly northeast of the subject property has a city water reservoir on it it will continue to be an industrial park, and is not included in the proposed change She pointed out that only one lot in the Wright Creek Business Park (located to the northwest of the subject property) has been developed to date Ms. Daniels reminded the Commission that when reviewing a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, they must find that it complies with all five decision criteria found in Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) 20 10 080 She reviewed each of the criteria as follows- 1 The amendment is consistent with the Growth Management Act 2 The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Alan and other goals and policies of the City 3 if the amendment was reviewed but not adopted as a part of a previous proposal, circumstances related to the proposed amendment have significantly changed, or the needs of the City have changed, which support an amendment 4 The amendment is compatible with existing or planned land uses and the surrounding development pattern S The amendment will not adversely affect the City's ability to provide urban services at the planned level of service and bears a reasonable relationship to benefiting the public health, safety and welfare Jon Rose, President, Olympic Property Group (OPG), said OPG is the real estate development subsidiary of Pope Resources, whose headquarters is located in Poulsbo, Washington He said OPG has been actively working on the subject property since approximately 1992, when it was acquired via a trade with the City In 1997, OPG owned a total of 270 acres of property, which included 210 acres of residential land that was divided into approximately 600 single - family residential lots and 38 acres of industrial land that was to have been developed in two phases Phase I created nine industiial lots, and Phase 2 was to have created approximately 18 additional industrial lots The site also identified about 22 acres of open space He advised that a master plan for the site was approved in 1997 and included a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Bremerton Planning Commission Minutes May 21, 2013 — Page 2 of 5 Attachment 2 review Also in 1997, the sewer line was extended about V2 mile from the subject property to the wastewater treatment plant In 2000, a development agreement was approved, which provided OPG longer -term vesting, and the residential pioperty was sold to a developer in 2006 In 2007, Phase I of the Wright Creek Business Park was developed with an average lot size between 75 and 1 acre Lot 4 in the business park was sold in 2007 An additional lot was sold, but the deal fell through due to the recession Mr. Rose advised that when the original master plan for the subject property was approved in 1997, the world was very different than it is today Following the recession, there are an incredibly large number of vacant buildings in the City, and building new buildings cannot compete with rehabilitating older buildings There is an enormous amount of built -out inventory In addition, the South Kitsap industrial Area (SKIA) has created a huge industrial base that the City did not have in 1997 He noted there have been no offers or sales of property since 2007, which is a strong indication that things did not turn out quite as OPG had planned He explained that in 1997, OPG had anticipated more build up of navel facilities and activities, which did not occur Mr. Rose said OPG is concerned that their enormous investment in infrastructure is not providing a return He particularly noted the nearly 1 /2 mile of sewer pipe, as well as the roadway and detention pond requited for Phase I of the Wright Creek Business Park There is also a partially- developed roadway and detention pond that would have accommodated Phase lI of the Wright Creek Business Park, All other infrastructure necessary for development has been provided on the site, as well Mr. Rose pointed out that residential development is making a recovery, and this recovery is predicted to continue for the next five years On the other hand, they have seen no movement in the demand for industrial land If the demand surfaces, the SKIA subarea will provide more than enough land to satisfy a generation's worth of industrial demand Vice Chair Tift noted that some industrial capacity would remain on the site Mr. Rose said there are currently eight, unsold lots available in Phase I of the Wright Creek Business Park, and these lots would not be converted to residential as part of the current proposal The current owner of Lot 4 purchased the property with the assumption that the surrounding properties would be developed as industrial, as well The east boundary of Lot 4 abuts industrial zoning that is owned by the military department He summarized that a core of industrial property would remain, but they believe it is time to make a change on the rest of the properties Vice Chair Tit said lie has heard that the Gorst backup creates a problem for the SKIA Subarea, making it difficult to get trucks back at night and into the City in the morning He noted that the Marine View Beverage Company moved out of Bremerton to Poulsbo instead of SKIA because of this situation He commented that where the subject property is situated still presents good industrial capabilities. Mr. Rose agreed that there are still some good opportunities to expand the industrial base He noted that the pressure release valve for the Gorst backup is Third Avenue and Union, which is located right in front of the subject property Commissioner Dinkuhn asked if OPG has plans to develop the subject property if it is rezoned to residential Mr. Rose said their part is to complete the master plan and site layout and then sell the property to different builders Chair Jose said he lives near the subject property He noted that the roadway near Pendergast Park presents a main thoroughfare for accessing the industrial properties He asked if OPG envisions that the residential properties would be accessed by a future road to the south Mr. Rose commented that it is very hard to control vehicular movement, and access will depend on where people are coming from He noted a large area of residentially -zoned property is located to the west of the subject property Regardless of whether the proposed amendment is approved, residential traffic will come through the property Chair Jose said his question was related to the separation of residential and industrial access The way the graphic is currently laid out, this does not appear to be an issue. He commented that the roads are well done and large enough Mr. Rose added that the roadway in the Wright Creek Business Park was built to an industrial standard Commissioner Dinkuhn asked where the subject property falls in proximity to the Gorst Subarea, and in particular, the Gorst Watershed Ms. Daniels pointed out the location of the Gorst Watershed, whose northern most boundary is still some distance from the subject parcels, which are not in the watershed boundary Bremerton Planning Commission Minutes May 21, 2013 — Page 3 of 5 Attachment 2 Chair Jose invited the Commissioners to share their thoughts on how the proposed amendment is or is not consistent with the five decision criteria found in BMC 20 10 080 Ms. Spencer explained that staff has not yet reviewed the application based on the decision criteria She invited the Commissioners to share their thoughts and ideas as staff moves forward with their review in preparation for the public hearing Commissioner Simpson asked if staff sees a problem with the application meeting the five criteria. Ms. Spencer said she does not foresee a problem, but she emphasized that the detailed analysis has not yet been completed Chair Jose encouraged the Commissioners to identify any additional information they would like staff to provide that goes beyond their normal due diligence in reviewing the proposed amendment Ms. Daniels suggested the Commissioners consider what the public concerns might be She reminded them that they could also submit written requests and comments to staff. Commissioner Strube expressed his belief that theie may be some concern about increased traffic He said he lived on Poindexter for about five years He noted that traffic on the street is heavy already, especially when Gorst is backed up, and he cannot see that the proposed change would dramatically impact the situation Vice Chair Tift suggested that residential development could actually improve the situation However, he acknowledged that there are certainly pioblems when Gorst gets backed up. Mr. Rose said the ITE Traffic Manual indicates that residential uses result in less traffic than industrial uses Theoretically, there will be less traffic after the change then there would have been with an industrial park Commissioner Simpson asked how many houses are anticipated for the subject property Ms. Daniels said the applicant is requesting R -10 zoning, which means the site could potentially accommodate about 210 homes, though detailed analysis would be necessary to determine the actual number Chair Jose reminded the Commission that there are other mechanisms for addressing impacts related to development size He noted that there are residential uses located across the street from the subject property, so he does not anticipate concerns about the pioposed amendment being consistent with the character of the neighborhood in addition, the one developed industrial lot is located at the far north end of the Wright Creek Business Park, the furthest away from the proposed residential properties Chair Jose invited members of the public to comment on the proposed amendment No one in the audience indicated a desire to participate BUSINESS MEETING Chair Report Chair Jose referred to an article that Commissioner Dinkuhn shared with him about how the City of Bothell has undergone a Comprehensive Plan update over the last decade that uses the "centers" concept, which is a similar approach as that used by the City of Bremerton He suggested the Commissioners should read the article to help inform their discussions as they move forward with Comprehensive Plan updates this year Director Report Ms. Spencer announced that the City received a National Planning Award for the work that was done for the SK1A Subarea Plan She commented that it is significant for a ,jurisdiction the size of Bremerton to be acknowledged in this way. She provided a copy of the award to each of the Commissioners, who were part of the overall effort Tlie Commissioners congratulated staff Ms. Spencer recalled that, at their last meeting, Mr. Daniels from the Kitsap Public Health District encouraged the City to include provisions in the Comprehensive Plan related to healthy eating She advised that the Health Department conducted an analysis of the City's Comprehensive Plan to see how well it addresses the issue The analysis also identified potential amendments that would allow the Comprehensive Plan to better address the concept She provided a copy of the analysis to each of the Commissioners Bremerton Planning Commission Minutes May 21, 2013 — Page 4 of 5 i Attachment 2 i Ms. Spencer reviewed that the Gorst Subarea Plan is in progress, and a specific website is now available (gorstwatershed com) As documents become available, they will be uploaded to the website She encouraged the Planning Commissioners to visit the site and review the documents She advised that the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and a preliminary draft of the goals and policies of the Gorst Subarea Plan will be released the first part of June Staff will provide an overview of the documents at the Commission's June 18 meeting They will come back to the Commission in July with a summary of all the public comments received related to the EIS At that time, they will invite the Commission to help them craft the preferred alternative Chair Jose reminded the Commission that he is serving as the Commission's representative in the Gorst Subarea Plan process Ms. Spencer announced that a public hearing on the 2013 zoning code amendments (SEPA, drive -thru, and setback requirements) is scheduled for July 16 The Commission does not typically meet during the month of August Ms. Spencer advised that she completed the recruitment process for a recently- opened staff position, which resulted in two excellent candidates from her own department While the choice was difficult, she offered the senior planner position to Nicole Floyd She will start the recruitment process to fill Ms. Floyd's vacated position Mr McIntire's position is still vacant, as well She reported that staff is very busy, and they are tremendously short staffed i Commissioner Tift asked if staff is able to use contracted support Ms. Spencer answered that the City has utilized the services a private contractor who also does contract work for the City of Poulsbo Old Business There was no old business to come before the Commission New Business There was no new business scheduled on the agenda ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 6 08 p m Respectively Submitted by An a pen , CP G 4Cha" Ex utn+e Sec t Planning Commission Bremerton Planning Commission Minutes May 21, 2013 — Page 5 of 5 Attachment 2 CITY OF BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING September 17, 2013 CALL TO ORDER Chair Jose called the regular meeting of the Bremerton Planning Commission to order at 5 30 p m.

PUBLIC MEETING Call to the Public (public comments on any item not on the agenda) Chair Jose asked if there were any comments from citizens Seeing none, he closed the public portion of the meeting Public Hearin — 2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket Ms. Daniels welcomed Elizabeth Wilson and Jon Rose, who were available to answer questions about the proposed amendment She briefly reviewed the process for amendmg the Comprehensive Plan and advised that the City received one application in 2013 requesting a land -use map change The amendment request includes two parcels located at 3r Avenue Attachment 2 West and Sinclair Way/West Sunn Fjord Lane that are currently designated Industrial Park The proposal is to re- designate the two parcels to Low - Density Residential (R -10) Ms. Daniels referred to the Site Location Map (Attachment 1) and an aerial view with zoning (Attachment 2), which were attached to the Staff Report She reviewed that the City granted approval for the West Hills Planned Unit Development, consisting of 210 acres of residential and 60 acres of industrial, in 1997 A development agreement between the property owner, Olympic Property Group (OPG), and the City was approved in 2000 It expires in 2015 The property owner began infrastructure improvements for the Wright Creek Business Park (Phase 1) in 2007 Of the nine lots of Phase 1, only one has been developed The property proposed for land use change was intended to be Phase 2 of the project, but the parcels have remained undeveloped, with partially developed streets and a storm pond The applicant contends that with the recent annexation of the South Kitsap Industrial Area (SKIA), there is a surplus of industrial property available and it is difficult to make the subject property marketable Ms. Daniels pointed out that there are both industrial and residential -zoned areas within the neighborhood of the subject properties and either land use designation would be consistent with the neighborhood Therefore, staff does not believe the proposed amendment would promote spot zoning Ms. Daniels reminded the Commission that any Comprehensive Plan Amendment must be reviewed for compliance with following criteria of approval outlined in Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) 20 10 080 • The amendment is consistent with the Growth Management Act. • The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive plan or other goals or policies of the City • The amendment is compatible with existing or planned land uses and the surrounding development pattern • The amendment will not adversely affect the City's ability to provide urban serves at the planned level of service and bears a reasonable relationship to benefitting the public health, safety and welfare Ms. Daniels concluded that staff has reviewed the criteria of approval (Attachment V) and finds the application to meet the BMC She advised that, at this point, the Commission would typically hold a public hearing, take public comment, consider and deliberate, and then vote on a decision for the subject proposal to recommend to the City Council However, staff received an additional letter from Kitsap County at 4 30 p in , just prior to the meeting, expressmg concern about two unresolved questions and indicating their plan to appeal the City's State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Determination of Non - Significance (DNS) She advised that staff has reviewed the letter and feels confident they can adequately respond to the County's comments and reach an agreement for the appeal Ms. Daniels said the County's primary concern is regarding the development agreement The applicants are aware of the County's concern, and they will be working with the City to amend the development agreement to remove the property that is changing as a result of this Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The County has indicated they would hold the option for a future appeal in case the City decides to retain the development agreement She explained that Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton have a good working relationship, so she is confident they can resolve the concerns The appeal deadline is September 18"' She said staff is recommending the Commission take public comment, consider and deliberate, and then make a motion to continue the hearing to October 15 At the continued hearing on October 15 staff would provide information about the appeal status Commissioner Simpson asked for more information about the comment that was submitted by Kitsap County on September 3' Ms. Daniels said the September 3' letter was similar to the most recent letter and was more related to the development standards Robert Perkins, Bremerton, asked what is meant by the Low - Density Residential designation Ms. Daniels answered that Low - Density Residential means single - family (one house per lot) Greg Bachaud, Bremerton, noted that in the letter from Kitsap County there was reference to a planning proposal that was put forward in 1997 He asked if the 1997 proposal was used as a template because it would be easy to implement, or if there is something about the 1997 proposal that specifically enhances the applicant's present intention. He questioned why the City should use the previous proposal that is based on the 1997 code Ms. Daniels explained that when an application is Bremerton - Planning Commission Minutes September 17, 2013 -- Page 2 of 4 Attachment 2 submitted, it typically vests under the current codes for a period of five years With a development agreement, the vesting time can be expanded beyond five years. The current development agreement between the applicant and the City vests the applicant in the 1997 code standards until 2015 She noted that codes tend to get more restrictive over time, and the intent is to amend the development agreement so the applicant would no longer be vested under the 1997 code for the area under consideration for comprehensive plan change Mr. Bachaud agreed that the code has changed in positive ways, and the applicant should be required to meet the more stringent requirements Ms. Daniels advised that the applicant would have to submit an application to re-plat the area to accommodate residential development. At that point, there would an additional SEPA review, as well as an opportunity for the public to comment The public portion of the hearing was closed Vice Chair Tift reviewed that staff would analyze the County's concerns and report back to the Commission. Ms. Daniels answered that she would provide a response to the County and report back to the Commission on October 15' Vice Chair Tift observed that the County is worried about the reduction of industrial land He asked what percentage of industrial land would be eliminated by the proposed amendment Ms. Daniels said the County is concerned about the reduction of industrial land overall in Kitsap County. Because the City of Bremerton annexed SKIA, its industrial area grew substantially She advised that the issue has been studied, and staff's October 15' analysis will provide further information She also invited the Commissioners to forward additional questions and concerns they would like staff to address on October 15' VICE CHAIR TIFI' MOVED THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2013 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT DOCKET BE CONTINUED TO OCTOBER 15, 2013. COMMISSIONER LAMBERT SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. BUSINESS MEETING Chair Report Chair Jose did not have any items to report Director Report Ms. Floyd reported that the City Council adopted zoning code amendments to allow drive- through uses, increase the SEPA thresholds, and change the setback requirements in commercial zones as recommended by the Planning Commission The City received several positive comments from developers, and the City Council thanked the Commission for working hard on the amendments Vice Chair Tift noted a recent sign on commercial property advertising that drive- through uses would be allowed Commissioner Simpson observed that the County has essentially forced the City to postpone a decision on the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment for another month She asked if the County could continue to use this tactic to delay the City's final determination. Ms. Floyd explained that, technically, the Planning Commission hearing should have been scheduled after the SEPA appeal period ended on September 18 Because it was not, it is necessary to extend the hearing to October so the Commission's decision does not have to be remanded at a later date because of the timelines of the appeal period Commissioner Simpson asked if the Commission's recommendation would have to be postponed beyond October 15" if the County files an appeal Ms. Floyd explained that staff will try to work out a resolution However, the process would be delayed if a SEPA appeal is filed by the County and resolution is not reached The hearing examiner would have to make a decision on the appeal before the proposed amendment is brought back to the Plaimmi Commission for a recommendation Chair Jose noted that delaying the Commission's recommendation to October 15 would not actually delay the process because the City Council's workshop was not scheduled until October 23` Commissioner Simpson noted diet, in its appeal, the County is alleging that 436 acres of industrial land would be converted to other uses She asked how much of the 436 acres is currently undeveloped She questioned how this small amount of property in Bremerton would impact the County's overall ability to develop industrial opportunities Ms. Daniels said City staff plans to include this observation in its response to the County She explained that the land -use capacity analysts that is done every five years should help clear up the confusion. Bremerton Planning Comrrnssion Minutes September 17, 2013 — Page 3 of 4 j Attachment 2 Commissioner Albright expressed concern about the apparent conflict with countywide ratios She knows they are trying to create more open space for the public, and reducing the amount of mdustnal zones overall would impact the County's ability to accomplish this goal Ms. Daniels once again reminded the Commission that the City has a good relationship with the County While the appeal may represent more work for the City, it is an opportunity for more communication Old Business There was no old business to come before the Commission New Business No new business was scheduled on the agenda ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 5 55 p in Respectively Submitted by n a L Spencer A g ose, Cha r Ex utive Sec � Ory Planning Commission 77 Bremerwn Planning Commission lmnutes September 17, 2013 — Page 4 of 4 Attachment 2 APP CITY OF BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING October 15, 2013 CALL TO ORDER Chair Jose called the regular meeting of the Bremerton Planning Commission to order at 5 30 p in ROLL CALL Commissioners Present Staff Present Chair Jose Nicole Floyd, Senior Pl!Tn Department f Community Development Vice Chair Tift Allison Daniels, Long -RQe Planner, Dep t of Community Development Commissioner Albright Commissioner Dinkuhn Others Present Commissioner Lambert Lisa Grueter, Berk Consul i� Commissioner Simpson Commissioner Strube Quorum Certified APPROVAL OF AGENDA VICE CHAIR TIFT MOVED TO-APP R VE THE AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

COMMISSIONER LAMBER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Public Workshop: Gorst Subarea Plan Ms. Daniels explained that the purpose of the workshop is to dikcuss the Watershed Characterization, Gorst Urban Growth Area Subarea Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FE S), reminded the Commission that this has been a collaborative effort between the City of Bremerton and Kitsap Count} �Th�e effort has been primarily funded by a grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA - and is inten� d to result in a consistent land -use plan for the future of Gorst She reminded the Commission that Kitsap �COunty cum a tly.governs the unincorporated Gorst Urban Growth Area (UGA) but has assigned it as a future annexation area to the of Bremerton Ms. Daniels advised that the primary project bject s includ • Prime Gorst for otential redevel'o m` ent P p� • Allow Gorst to become a more complete community • Protect water quality, habi t and fish while fostering economic development • Identify areas for de v lopment, restoration id protection based on science • Implement a long -age capital i rovement plan to provide for future utility services, public services and transportation needs Ms. Daniels referred to the notebooks tha %were provided to Commissioners, which contain three documents The Watershed Characterization and Framework, Subarea Plan and Development Regulations, and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) She noted that the Watershed Characterization and Framework Plan was modified by updating the goals and policies based on Commission comments during the June and July workshops In addition, an appendix was added based on public comment that ultimately resulted in revised watershed boundaries She briefly reviewed the revised boundaries, which are intended to protect the watershed while creating an urban growth area that is primed for redevelopment Ms. Daniels advised that the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was presented to the Commission in June, and was followed by a 45-day comment period that ended July 23' The Final Planned Action Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) addresses the comments that were received and verifies the preferred alternative for the Gorst Subarea Plan She noted that all documents related to the Gorst watershed and subarea plans can be found at the project website www g orstwatershed com Attachment 2 Ms Daniels referred to the draft Subarea Plan and Development Regulation She reviewed that when preparing the draft plan, the following questions and policy issues were considered • Develop an appropriate preferred land -use alternative and associated zoning • Should some zoning and incentives be phased post annexation • How to coordinate shoreline regulations in the City and County, especially on Gorst Creek? At this time, the City's code is much less restrictive on Gorst Creek and more restrictive on the shoreline • How to mitigate stormwater and flooding conditions along Sinclair Inlet and Gorst Creek • How to best manage multimodal travel in Gorst (i a added pedestrian and transit features, managing traffic, and implementing non - motonzed facilities) Ms. Daniels reviewed that, in addition to the 45 -day comment period for SEPA, the City conducted multiple stakeholder meetings and community workshops They also met with the Advisory Committee and project partners At the Gorst Community Workshop in June, citizens favored an alternative that provided a broader range of residential uses They also suggested lower intensity development along the shoreline and Gorst Creek to protect salmon habitat and water quality In addition to the comments received at the community workshop and stakeholder m7tings, the City received comments from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), the Suquamis.ibp? and Sustainable Bremerton • WSDOT expressed concern about cumulative volumes of traffic o�i�tate / ro routes They requested clarification on the County's level of service (LOS) and concurrency standards T�iey also requested an analysis of intersections, links and mitigation at the development stage They expressed desire to redupe� access points and restrict turning movements in Gorst / v • The Suquamish Tribe stated a desire that the City and Co ensure that wetland delineations are performed for planned areas They indicated a need for regular notificat planned actions They stated their support for Alternative 3, with a slight modification to r � B less intens development on streams in headwaters They recommended that the plan limit imperviou41 ce aria throughout the watershed, as per the Department of Ecology's (DOE) Stormwater Management additi on, when pursuing the Gorst Creek Management Overlay, they would like to see that he .4 er M et /is "no touch" They provided recommendations regarding vegetation and trails in the subare \� • Sustainable Bremerton comment @duo the need_to extend protection of Gorst Creek by expanding the Low - Intensity Waterfront zoning -to -the a flood plain They were in favor of restoration as a tool to support the local economy They also su�orted'm o llumprovements Ms. Daniels advised that theommission received a preliminary draft of the Gorst Subarea Plan in June, but the current version provides much more &e il,,as a preferred alternative has been chosen The newest version provides specific development regulations for both the Co Chapter 9) and the City (Chapter 8) She reminded them that the goal is to provide consistency with the jurisdictions . there can be a smooth transition when the City annexes She cautioned that while the City and County codes differ m format, the majority of the information is the same Commissioner Simpson asked why the City did not annex the Gorst Urban Growth Area before the planning process started Doing so would have eliminated the need to collaborate with the County Ms. Daniels responded that the City and County received grant funding to move forward with the subarea plan in 2010 At that time, the City had hoped to proceed with annexation in conjunction with the subarea plan However, staff changes delayed the annexation process, and the grant timeline required the City to move forward This required the City to work with the County to complete the subarea plan now, and the City plans to move forward with the fiscal analysis for the annexation in 2014 Ms. Daniels provided a map to illustrate the preferred alternative and described the various districts as follows • The Low - Intensity Waterfront District would allow commercial uses to serve the traveling public in a development pattern that reduces impervious surfaces, promotes shoreline reclamation and open space, promotes landscape and streetscape improvements, promotes pedestrian safety and comfort, and improves vehicular access Attachment 2 Commercial uses would occur on smaller impervious footprints interspersed by trails, parks and reclaimed shoreline habitat New residential uses would be restricted There are currently two residential homes located in this area She noted that new stormwater and flood plain management requirements already make redevelopment in waterfront areas much more restrictive • The Low - Intensity Mixed Use District promotes a mixture of uses (retail, hotel, office, services, and residential) in horizontal or small -scale vertical patterns It also promotes regional commercial uses designated to maximize shorelme views and allow streamside public access where appropriate A less intensive pattern is found on Gorst Creek and West Belfair Road A new development pattern reduces impervious surfaces, improves vehicular access, and promotes creek restoration, landscape and streetscape improvements, and pedestrian safety and comfort The requirements in this zone reflect comments the City received from WSDOT regarding access to and from state highways • The Gorst Creek Mixed Use District promotes a mixture of uses (retail, hotel, office, services, and residential) in horizontal or small -scale vertical patterns It also promotes regional commercial uses designated to maximize shoreline views and allow streamside public access where appropriate A more intensive development pattern is found in Central Gorst, with a less intensive pattern on West Belfair Road, Sam Christopherson Road West, and West Frontage Road/West Frone Drive At the request of Chair Jose, Ms. Daniels explained that therAreia� o e development regulations in the flood plains Therefore, development regulations in the Low - Intensity / Mixed Use ould be more restrictive than the Gorst Creek Mixed Use Zone • The Neighborhood Mixed Use District promotes low / \ a� (\ d\ medium-density housing, including detached single - family, attached single - family, cottages, townhomes, small -sb le \ats, and accessory dwelling units Development would be accomplished in an environmentall}!tainable pa m such as clustering, low - impact development techniques, energy conservation, and similar methods Small -sc le commercial uses that serve local residences would be allowed, and public /private open spaces would�alk43,e promoted She noted that this designation would apply to the properties that are curr ntlfiden\ified' Mineral Resources and Industrial, and would maintain these designations under the County's plan for the time bei g n She reminded the Commission that it is anticipated that the mine area is going to be reclaimed in 10 years t h �whe mining use is discontinued • The Commercial Corridor District\v�oulld provide Cations for high - intensity commercial uses serving the entire community while presevn g-maitime vl!�ws and forested areas and buffering impacts to adjacent residential areas The corridor would�commodate access \o> businesses by automobile while also creating a pedestnan- friendly, transit - supporting cor�ido\ 1 • The Industrial Distnct w uldda c9mmodate light and heavy industrial uses in locations where there is limited interaction with residential s Uses would include large -scale and/or heavy industries in a manner that reduces impact to the community while meeting industry's needs for easy access, large sites, and locations that do not cause conflicts with residential and other less - intense -use areas Chair Jose noted that that the "Industrial District" should be included as a category in the guide (Figure 17) that was prepared by staff • The Gorst Creek Residential District would apply to low- density residential and large -lot residential areas along Gorst Creek where low- impact development and riparian and wetland zone protection are priorities Clustered development patterns and incentives for stream restoration are promoted in this district • The Open Space/Recreation Designation would allow for active and passive parks, recreation and open space facilities Secondary uses would include accessory commercial such as concessions, recreation equipment rental, and other small -scale facilities that support and enhance public access and recreation Attachment 2 Ms. Daniels emphasized that addressing stormwater issues was a high priority when selecting a preferred alternative The proposed subarea plan includes incentives to reduce impervious surfaces along the shoreline and in flood plains It also encourages and/or requires low - impact development where feasible Chair Jose asked staff to clarify when low - impact development would be required versus encouraged Lisa Grueter, Berk Consulting, explained that the City defers to the DOE's Stormwater Manual for stormwater regulations The DOE's Stormwater Manual requires rather than encourages low - impact development The proposed plan calls out incentives, such as additional height, in exchange for retaining more stormwater on site Ms. Daniels said the plan chronicles specific stormwater issues and proposes planning level design fixes with costs, which is necessary for the City to be eligible for additional state and federal grant funding She provided a map identifying 14 capital facilities projects that are needed in the Gorst Subarea to address known stormwater issues She noted that once the area is annexed, the City will be responsible for developing a funding plan for the public improvements and other items on that list that are on private property will be the responsibility of private property owners Ms Daniels reviewed that the proposed plan also addresses transportation issues It specifically identifies the need to coordinate closely with WSDOT's plans for improvement of the Gorst interchange It calls for pedestrian connectivity between the Gorst shoreline and other Gorst neighborhoods The plan will requtrt.a full traffic review of any large future development that increases trips at peak -hour trips greater than 2% includm .tie of the rock quarry /gravel pit to identify potential impacts which is consistent with City regulations The plan also indo orates regional non - motonzed facilities into the land use pattern Ms. Daniels recalled that the Commission recommended mixed use ,the tnangul\are �t is now shown on the map to be Commercial Corridor She explained that the triangle is surro dedd by higenyays If the roadways are expanded, the area within the triangle will get smaller and smaller Staff is not reco end g that residential development be encouraged in this location Commissioner Simpson noted the locations of the highw�y' hat run.thhr ug„h the Gorst Subarea While the plan talks about encouraging the subarea as a place where people will wa�t�to i me recreate, she would not have chosen to take her children there to play Instead, she would choose another p .such as Evergreen Park, where there is no mayor highway She said she is not trying to discourage the isspn froizmoving the plan forward, but she questioned what percentage of the population would realistically choose'to go to orst whe there are dozens of other parks in the County Ms. Daniels pointed out that when the area ''s\d elope living in the new community will want to have resources in their neighborhood However, shr cinowledge �that the City will need to provide a safe pedestrian access over the highway to the waterfront parks She po`mted out�lt`Jarstad`Park, a very popular park, is already located m the area Char Jose asked if a highway crossme as included ip the Capital Facilities Plan If so, has a cost estimate been attached to the project? Ms. Grueter said the p lan include a policy that supports an overpass, and the map identifies a location for the crossing However, no cost estii been provided at this time Chair Jose said the crossing was discussed by the Advisory Committee, but it is unclea� here the crossing would happen and what it would look like However, the policy is that some type of safe crossing should be.provided Commissioner Simpson observed that the intent is to make the Gorst Subarea a destination where people come to spend their money She asked staff to identify where a business such as a Fred Meyer or Walmart could be developed and supported based on the preferred alternative Ms. Daniels answered that this type of use could be located in the Gorst Creek Mixed Use or Commercial Corridor Districts Ms Grueter added that the proposed plan would not restrict the types of retail allowed, but the developers will have to get creative when developing in the areas that limit pervious surfaces such as packing The big box retailers have been getting more creative with their design, which is becormng less uncommon Commissioner Simpson summarized that commercial uses would be located in the triangle that is anticipated to get smaller as the years go by Ms. Grueter said commercial uses would also be allowed in the Low - Intensity Waterfront, Low - Intensity Mixed Use and Gorst Creek Mixed Use Districts, but more restrictions would apply Commissioner Simpson asked if the proposed plan would allow the Subaru Dealership to convert to a Walmart or Fred Meyer Ms. Grueter answered affirmatively, but explained that restrictions would apply For example, the development would have to be placed further away from the waterfront However, the height restrictions in the various zones recognize the fact that property owners would be required to develop further back from the critical area Commissioner Simpson said it was her Attachment 2 understanding that properties on the water side of the highway would be off limits for any real development Chair Jose said it is not likely that a traditional, one -story box store similar to the one located in East Bremerton, with a sea of parking, could be developed in the Gorst Subarea However, it is important to keep in mind that the use, itself, would not be restricted It would be possible to develop the use with a more modern design Again, Commissioner Simpson questioned how the City would attract families to live, shop and play in the Gorst Subarea if it is easier for them to go to Costco to spend their money rather than a few boutique shops in Gorst On paper, the plan looks great, but she questioned how viable small stores would be for the public who might want to move into the subarea Again, she said she would not take her children to the park by the freeway She questioned where people will park to visit the parks She also pointed out that a large number of parking spaces would be required for a box store that is several stones high She summarized that she does not see how the City can attract the businesses and fobs necessary to implement the proposed plan The plan must be viable in order to sell it to the public Chair Jose said it is important to maximize the uses allowed in the mixed -use districts and let the market determine what works best for each site He acknowledged that there are no large, flat open spaces in the subarea They must work with what they have to maximize opportunities within each of the commercial areas Ms. Daniels pointed out the commercial areas where uses such as Fred Meyer and Walmart could potentially locate Shi'also pointed out the properties that are located within the flood plain where development would be more restricted Cliair Jose observed that there are some large parcels in the southern portion of the subarea </ \\ Ms. Daniels pointed out that, as currently proposed, a City- specific codoould be adbpted for the Gorst Urban Growth Area This code would be consistent with, but not identical to, the proposed County Code A Rdxation would be promoted as part of a holistic, but not immediate, discussion In addition, the Ggisv�Creek hnagement Zone Overlay identifies incentives, such as additional height in exchange for reducing the amount of`i� e iodis surface, to preserve the waterfront while still allowing for reasonable development Commissioner Dinkuhn suggbkted there is conflicting language in the descriptions of the height incentives allowed for each zone For exam fl'e;\he noted th t°the plan calls for preserving view corridors, but allowing greater heights could eliminate some existing views GMs. Grueter said the maximum height allowed vanes, depending on the district and consideration was implemen ed i -lie ght table and zones further back, allow for greater height then such zones as the Low Intensity Waterfront V Ms. Daniels explained that the proposed�lanned Ction O mane would provide a detailed, area -wide environmental analysis that would allow the City to strei mlm e in iroposals If a proposal complies with the Planned Action Ordinance, the Gorst Subarea Plan, and the\nit�gation measures identified in the Final EIS, no additional SEPA review would be required However, sl}e empl�as�ized \hat the project would still have to comply with all applicable City codes, including the Critical Areas Ordi}�a�rice and4horelii Master Program Chair Jose added that one of the greatest benefits of a Planned Action Ordinance i the predictability it provides Developers know what the costs, mitigation measures, etc will be up front He explained that- , to SEPA review, developers have no idea what the mitigation requirements will be This risk tends to scare off develop rs Ms. Daniels advised that threshold to the Planned Action Ordinance After development reaches a certain number of households or commercial square footage, the City may choose to conduct another Environmental Review to continue the benefit of the Planned Action process She handed out a discussion guide that provides more information about the planned action ordinance Ms Grueter referred to the tools identified in the discussion guide related to the preferred alternative and this should hopefully provide guidance for the Planning Commission to consider the Planned Action Ordinance Commissioner Lambert noted that the Planned Action Ordinance would facilitate an increase of a specific number of households She asked if the number is intended to be a target or a maximum She also asked if the number is binding in any way Ms. Grueter answered that it is not necessarily binding It dust means that development below that threshold would be exempt from additional SEPA review Once the threshold is exceeded, the City could review and potentially change the Planned Action Ordinance She explained that the number came out of the environmental review, and the mitigation measures were sized based on the City's assumption for how much growth would occur Attachment 2 Ms. Daniels briefly reviewed the Gorst Creek Watershed Plan Schedule She specifically noted that City and County Planning Commission hearings and meetings will take place this fall, with final public hearings before the City and County Councils in late fall It is anticipated that the plan and accompanying regulations will be adopted by the end of 2013 She encouraged the Commissioners to contact her with additional questions and comments regarding the proposed plan Vice Chair Tift referenced the map that was provided by staff to identify the capital improvement projects needed to address stormwater issues Ms. Daniels explained that all of the red boxes identify problem areas She said the Stormwater Capital Improvement Plan provides a brief description of each issue While the plan does not necessarily provide a solution, it identifies the problems and the estimated costs associated with resolving the problems It is hoped that by identifying the issues and their associated costs, the City will be eligible for grant funding for studies to move the projects forward Vice Chair Tift asked if the proposed study is intended to find solutions to all 14 of the issues Ms. Grueter answered that the purpose of the study is to identify the exact source of the problems and potential solutions Some of the projects would be funded by property owners and others by the City Chair Jose asked if the stormwater issues have been prioritized Ms. Daniels said the capital improvement plan in the back of the Subarea Plan does list the stormwater issues in a prioritized manner / Commissioner Dinkuhn observed that none of the stormwater issues that ha�'d pnonty are being addressed currently on a City budget The costs associated with resolving these issues may come up eq"d termining whether or not the City wants to move forward with annexation Ms. Daniels agreed that would be part lithe d� §qussion Commissioner Simpson asked staff to describe how the City �� benefit from \ anDaniels on Ms. Da advised that annexing the property is a probability in the future as the City pr wo des se // !Aervice to the area She pointed out that areas around the urban growth are already City of Bremerton junsdictio N I addifion, the tax revenue could be a benefit Further fiscal analysis will need to be performed C Commissioner Tift referred to the Gorst Watershed and ro st1J A�VicmJJtyYMap (Figure 1), which appears to show Gorst as an actual city Ms. Daniels said the map was intended o ide jfy C�rst as an Urban Growth Area, but the coloring was bad \ Ms Daniels referred to additional doc g ent�th t were a�ded at the end of the binder that was provided to the Commissioners, these are proposed add en ms to ebarea-P,lan and Watershed Characterization for consideration and are available on the website for public review ](air summarized that the additional items are pending changes to the documents that have not been mt7 �ted�yet Commissioner Simpson ref? the Kit�County Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (Figure 19 1), which appears to designate a lot of the area as I uustnal Ms. 1 Grueter explained that the current growth projections for this area of Krtsap County are very low The County hange the designations on their map until the growth projections have been adjusted accordingly They must c�tidue the Mineral Resource and Industrial designations until their County Wide Planning Policies have been updated as current the residential population for Gorst is lower than the Subarea Plan is allocating The County has committed to the City's overall concept for the subarea plan, but they must phase it to be in compliance with the Countywide Planning Policies population numbers BUSINESS MEETING Chair Report Chair Jose did not have any items to report Director Report Ms. Floyd reported that because of budget meetings, Director Spencer was unable to attending the Commission meeting She announced that

Consistency. Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan shall meet the decision criteria outlined in BMC 20.10.080. The Planning Commission may recommend, and the City Council may adopt or adopt with modifications, an amendment to the comprehensive plan d the criteria outlined below are met 51 BMC 20.10.080(b)(1) The amendment is consistent with the Growth Management Act The amendment has been evaluated with the goals and policies of the Growth Management Act and has been found to be consistent with the Act. Further, the amendment has been evaluated for consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan, which was created to achieve the goals of the GMA 5.2 BMC 20.10.080(b)(2) The amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan or other goals or policies of the City The amendment continues to uphold the objectives and goals of the Comprehensive Plan, and is consistent with the following policies. LU 11B Provide wider variety in residential designations throughout the city to achieve a greater diversity of housing LU20J Regularly monitor the relationship between land supply and demand to ensure that the goals of the Comprehensive Plan are met H3 Provide a vanety of housing types and densities to meet changing needs of Bremerton residents H3C Stimulate the production of new housing for all incomes, ages and family types. H6A Increase opportunities for home ownership with the City of Bremerton EC1C Encourage redevelopment of underutilized land 53 BMC 20.10.080(b)(3) If the amendment was reviewed but not adopted as part of a previous proposal, circumstances related to the proposed amendment have significantly changed, or the needs of the City have changed, which support an amendment. The needs of the City have changed since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, and economic circumstances have significantly changed to meat the change in use from industrial park to residential Since the 2004 adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the supply of industrially zoned land has increased significantly, including the 3400 acres included in the recently approved South Kitsap Industrial Area (SKIA), within the city limits The increase in supply of industrial land, combined with the decrease in demand due to the regional and national economic recession, has resulted in the subject property being vacant and underutilized for well over a decade (the original approval of the subject site for industrial park was in 1997 and a development agreement approved in 2000). The change of use from industrial park to low density residential will facilitate a different market for the undeveloped property, and will thereby, also increase the City's new residential unit supply The conversion is not inconsistent with the existing and adjacent industrial developed property, and will provide a transition between the existing Exhibit A multifamily residential to the east and the underdeveloped residentially zoned property to the west 5.4 BMC 20.10.080(b)(4) The amendment is compatible with existing or planned land uses and the surrounding development pattern. The amendment is compatible with existing land uses and the surrounding development pattern, which includes single family and multi family residential uses adjacent and in the immediate vicinity. 55 BMC 20.10.080(b)(5) The amendment will not adversely affect the City's ability to provide urban services at the planned level of service and bears a reasonable relationship to benefitting the public health, safety and welfare. The amendment will not affect the City's ability to provide urban services, as urban services currently exist at or near the subject property, and all further necessary improvements will occur at the time of project development. Further, facilitating new single family residences will be beneficial to the public health, safety and welfare by increasing the City's new housing stock, providing opportunity for development of vacant and underutilized land, and providing housing units to accommodate the City's population.

We are committed to lift safety and believe the prudent codes can coexist with economic development I was unable to attend the Council's work session on November 13 when Captain Six presented the draft code and related the progress of the stakeholder's group While I was not present, I heard that the Bremerton Fire Department made remarks indicating that the Home Builders were unwilling to accept any offers by the fire service to bt idge the distance between our views I want to assure the entire City Council that the Homc Builders Association came to the meetings looking for common ground and hoping to bt a part of a well crafted, equitable, code that would meet the safety needs of the community while avoiding the creation of unnecessary barriers to affordable ho-S] fig It is disappointing the Fire Department holds their view, but from our perspeLtive the process was a valuable exchange Overall, we generally support Proposed Ordinance 5234 However, we do have soinc specific comments, cautions and edits we would like you to carefully consider bk torc adopting this code 18 02 20 FIRE CODE — ADOPTED (found on page 2) Bremerton Code includes this One (1) copy of the International Fire code is on file with the City's Fire Code Ofticial ® NMB 5251 Auto Center Way • Bremerton, WA 98312 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (360) 479 -5778 • (800) 200 -5778 • Fax (360) 479 -0313 OF HONE BUILDERS BUILDING INDUSTRY info @KitsapHBA com • www KilsapHBA com ASSOCIATION OF WASHINGTON You might want to consider this RCW 35 21 180 Ordinances — Adoption of codes by reference PROVIDED, HOWEVER, That not less than one copy of such statute, code or compilation and amendments and additions thereto adopted by reference shall be filed for use and examination by the public, in the office of the city or town clerk of said city, We suggested last summer, and reiterate now, that we believe the BMC is proposing a violation of the RCW 18 02 040 AMENDMENTS TO THE IFC — ADMINISRATION (found on page 3) (f) Violation Penalties Sec 109 3 — It is unclear why the words, "or inconsistent with" are being added This is vague and the magnitude of this is unknown To summarize this IFC section, it spells out that you can't violate a) approved documents, b) a directive of the Fire Code Official, or c) a permit or its provisions as issued under the code The addition of the words, "inconsistent with" seem unnecessary and are likely to expand the authority of the Fire Code Official If that is your intent, then the term "inconsistent" should be clarified in the same way "violation" is by using a, b, and c (g) General Definitions FIRE CODE OFFICIAL (found on page 4) The last time the stakeholders' group met was in early July At that time this definition was as follows Fire Code Official shall mean the city of Bremerton Fire Marshal or other city official designated by the City of Bremerton Fire chief who shall be the formal administrator of the City Fire Code The current draft has additional language that was not discussed by the stakeholders' group and has been included without any explanation It is this additional sentence The Fire Code Official is authorized to enforce the provision of the fire code and its adopted reference document to the fullest extent of the law. (bold emphasis added). We are very concerned about this and do not know where this authority comes from, how it would be utilized, and why the City would elect to put a fire department employee in such a position Is the Fire Marshal a commissioned peace officer? Will he have the authority to ticket and arrest? This is new language that we are unfamiliar with and would encourage disclosure of the genesis of this authority in Washington State Statute 18 02 060 AMENDMENTS TO THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE — CHAPTER 5, FIRE SERVICE FEATURES (found on page 6) (b) Sec 503 2 1 Dimensions (2) This is unclear and possibly unnecessary We were unable to find similar language elsewhere and while it may be that due to the type of equipment the fire service may need to bring to a fire where the building's height is greater than 28 feet, the way this is worded is difficult to determine where the road can be in relation to 2 the buildings Further, it is important to remember that set -back requirements are determined by the building code What is proposed is a local amendment, and not in the IFC, and we wonder if the requirement is consistent with the Bremerton Building Code Please note that RCW 19 27 090 — Local jurisdictions reserved, states this Local land use and zoning requirements, building setbacks, side and rear -yard requirements, site development, property line requirement, requirements adopted by counties or cities pursuant to chapter 58 17 RCW, and local fire zones are specifically reserved to local jurisdictions notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter e) 503 7 Residential Driveway/Private Road Access and Sprinkler Requirements (found on page 8) During the stakeholder's meetings a great deal of time was spent on this issue Various drafts were discussed and tried out for consideration If no changes are going to be made, then reverting to the City's current code, as is proposed in tonight's draft, is better than the alternative presented to Council last week by the Fire Department However, this is a missed opportunity The City's Comprehensive Plan is reliant on a revitalization of the City, including its residential options Homes are where fobs go at night and if you don't have a construction and fire code that encourages those homes to be built, you are working at cross purposes with your goals This language makes it very difficult to "infill" where lots exist because of the "private" road prohibition created in this language The language in 503 7 focuses on the road being private without any justification We do not understand why a private road is more problematic than any other road We do not understand why a driveway shared by 3 homes is inherently unsafe In early July Captain Six had committed that he would look at whether a special "access width" could be written where the new construction is occurring on an existing road with 2 or more homes already on it We never saw language that attempted that That would have potentially been a compromise all could have worked with m) 507 8 Building permit requirements (found on page 13) In this section the Fire Code Official is proposing to add the words "combustible" and "permitted " However, since this section is about when a "permit" is required and in the first sentence it reads "No building permit shall be issued until all plans required by this section have been submitted and approved " It is unclear if the staking of the word, "allowed" and the insertion of the word "permitted" in its place is truly to suggest a physical "permit" is expected or is it intended to say that you aren't "allowed" to have any combustible construction beyond the foundation without all the hydrants and mains as required? 18 02 070 AMENDMENTS TO THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE — SECTION 901, GENERAL 3 Sec I 6 2 Records This section isn't well worded First of all, the sentence that appears at the bottom should be incorporated into the rest of the text This might be a possible approach Records of all system inspection, tests, and maintenance required by the referenced standards shall be maintained in a three -ring binder or other organized method and kept at the fire alarm main panel or other approved location A copy of each inspection, test, or maintenance record shall be forwarded to the Fire Code official, by an approved method of delivery within (10) business days of the date the inspection, test, or maintenance occurred All fire protection systems taken off line or out of service, and subsequently returned to service shall be reported to the fire code Official's office by an approved method of delivery We would like to know where the list of approved methods will be listed We do not agree that all such reports must be submitted electronically but do agree that electronic should be one of the options 18 02 090 AMENDMENTS TO THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE- SECTION 907, FIRE ALARM AND DETECION SYSTEMS g) (found on page 29) Sec 907 9 1 Testing Prerequisites In this section the reference is made to "two weeks" and in other sections the use of (10) business days has been used I would recommend consistency whenever possible Again, thank you for the opportunity to address you about the fire code Working with the Fire Chief, Captain Six and the rest of the stakeholders was a valuable use of time We encourage the City to expect such outreach on complicated code matters and look forward to working on access issues with Building and Planning Director Spencer as the Council directed at the study session on November 13, 2013 Sincerely, Teresa Osinski Executive Vice President Cc Each Member of the Bremerton City Council The Honorable Mayor Lent Captain Mike Six, City of Bremerton Fire Code Official 4 AMENDING MOTION: Eliminate: Add New Section: 503.1.4 Residential access. ft , u- Any development of Group R -3 occupancies accessed from a fire apparatus access road that does not meet specifications set forth in Section 503 and Appendix D, an automatic fire sprinkler system is required in compliance with BMC 18.02.080(n).
