R:\LEGAL\Ordinances\Community Development\2005 Zoning Code Amendment\Chapter 20.66 and 20.70 Ordinance.doc 11 Zoning Code-Chapters 20.66 and 20. 70 Bremerton City Council, April 27, 2005 Staff Report/Briefing Second Initial Zoning Package Following a public hearing on February 15, 2005, the Bremerton Planning Commission recommends for Council consideration the following new chapters of the city zoning code. The recommended zone chapters represent initial implementation of the 2004 Comprehensive Plan as regards both the core portions of neighborhood centers and district centers. The following sections of this staff report summarize the draft zone code amendments. Neighborhood Center Core Zone (NCC) (20.66 BMC) The Neighborhood Center Core Zone is intended to be a temporary zone employed to limit the possibility of development forms that would preclude or otherwise damage the potential for full centers development at a later date. It would be employed within a designated core area of each neighborhood center. Final adoption ofthe chapter would be accompanied by a zoning map amendment that indicates the boundaries of the core area of each center. This zone will serve to operate until more detailed sub-area planning in each center makes it possible to adopt specific zoning for that center implementing more specific standards, and guidelines as desired by local residents. It should be noted that The NCC zone forms part of a strategy for initial neighborhood center zoning that includes designating the remainder of each center RIO (Low density Residential). The RIO zone, previously considered by the Planning Commission, included special density provisions that would be applicable within portions of neighborhood centers initially zoned RIO. The following sections of this staff report summarize several sections of the NCC chapter. Section 20.66.020 Permitted uses The permitted uses list is a simple list providing for retail, residential, service, public, financial uses along with supporting transportation and public administration uses. The section establishes that such uses shall be designed and scaled to be consistent with the mixed-use pedestrian orientation of the neighborhood center. These expressions of intent are located at the beginning of each section of similar permitted uses, but supported primarily by the subsequent chapter sections on dimensional standards and architectural and site design guidelines. Of particular note is the treatment of residential uses. Residential uses are allowed only on upper floors of mixed use structures. Section 20.66.050 Dimensional Standards The dimensional standards section sets forth setbacks, building coverage standards, and standards for building height. Building coverage and site coverage may be increased if specified incentive options are employed. (20.66.050(d)). These incentives are set-forth so as to encourage mixed-use structures, multi-story buildings, projects with pedestrian amenities, and parking underground or within structures. Section 20.66.060 Architectural and Site Design Guidelines. Simple architectural guidelines apply to mixed-use, commercial, and multi-family structures. These are intended to be simple initial guidelines that serve to encourage development that does not damage the potential for more fully realized centers-style development in the future. It is assumed that more specific guidelines could be developed after "neighborhood planning" efforts conducted at a future date. Many standards can be satisfied by employing one or more listed options. (20.66.060). A section on site design requires that new structures be built at or near the street edge. It should be noted that they are not required to be mixed-use structures at this time. Incentives provided in the previous section encourage mixed-use through incentives. Section 20.66.070 Parking There is no minimum parking requirement applied in the NCC zone. The section does establish a maximum parking standard at I space per 300 square feet of floor area of non-residential use. This ratio is the existing ration for many common retail uses today. This provision simply caps parking for uses that have been required to employ more intense ratio's than this approximate average ration (from current code). In addition this section requires that parking shall be to the rear of buildings facing an arterial. This is supports the trend toward a pedestrian design ethic encouraged by this chapter. Initial District Center zone (DCC) (20.70) The District Center Core Zone is intended to be a temporary zone employed to limit the possibility of development forms that would preclude or otherwise damage the potential for full centers development at a later date. It would be employed within a designated core area of each district center. Final adoption of the chapter would be accompanied by a zoning map amendment that indicates the boundaries of the core area of each center. This zone will serve to operate until more detailed sub-area planning in each center makes it possible to adopt specific zoning for that center implementing more specific standards, and guidelines as desired by local residents. It should be noted that The DCC zone forms part of a strategy for initial neighborhood center zoning that includes designating the remainder of each center RIO (Low density Residential). The RIO zone, previously considered by the Planning Commission, included special density provisions that would be applicable within portions of neighborhood centers initially zoned RIO. --I The DCC zone is similar to the NCC zone discussed in the previous section of this staff report. For this reason, the following sections of this staff report summarize only instances in which the two chapters differ. Section 20.70.020 Permitted Uses The permitted uses list is a simple list providing for retail, residential, service, public, financial uses along with supporting transportation and public administration uses. The list includes more intense uses that those found in the Neighborhood Center Core zone. Of note are the addition of hotels and lodging places, motion picture theaters, and several types of residential care facilities. Section 20.70.060 Dimensional Standards Similarly to the equivalent section in the NCe zone, this section of the Dee zone sets forth setbacks and incentive based standards for building coverage and lot coverage. Height is increased to 50 feet - as compared to the NCC zone limit of 35 feet. Section 20.70.060 Architectural and Site Design guidelines. This section is also very similar to the equivalent section in the NCC zone. However, there is a feature in subsection B (site Design) not found in the neighborhood center core zone. At this time mixed-use structures at the core of the center are not required. However, at least 30% of commercial structures on the site must be built within 10 feet of a public right-of-way. In addition these street fronting commercial buildings must be capable structurally of having at least two additional floors of residential use added in the future (see 20.70.060(b) (1). This provision is intended to prevent construction of significant new commercial structures away from the street edge and their related parking areas at the street edge. Such re-development would significantly harm the potential for development under a true "centers" design approach for many years to come. Section 20.70.070 Parking Parking requirements are the same as in the NCC chapter described above. Staff report prepared by Paul Rogerson, Planning Manager 4/19/05 attachments; Draft chapter 20.66 and 20.70 BMC Draft chapter 20.70 BMC Draft revised "table of contents" Title 20 BMC Minutes for Planning Commission Regular Meeting February 15,2005 I. Call to Order The meeting was called to order by Commissioner Streissguth at 5:31 p.m. II. Roll Call Those present were: Commissioner Kennedy, Commissioner Kosusko, Commissioner Cockburn, Commissioner Nelson, Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf, Commissioner Hoell, and Commissioner Streissguth. Quorum certified. III. Approval of Agenda Commissioner Streissguth introduced the agenda. A motion was made by Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf and seconded by Commissioner Nelson to approve the agenda as presented.

A motion was made by Commissioner Kosusko and seconded by Commissioner Kennedy to approve the Regular Meeting Minutes of January 18, 2005, as presented. Called for a vote: Cockburn: Yes; Hoell: Yes; Kennedy: Yes; Kosusko: Yes; Nelson: Yes; Streissguth: Yes; and Friedberg-Nerf; Yes. The motion carried. V. PUBLIC MEETING A. Call To The Public (public comments on any item not on tonight's agenda). Commissioner Streissguth asked if there were any comments from citizens. Seeing none, she closed this portion ofthe meeting. B. Public Hearin2: Paul Rogerson, Planning Manager, gave an overview of the staff report which had been distributed to the Commissioners prior to the meeting. He highlighted items in the Initial Neighborhood Center Core (!NCC) chapter such as Permitted Uses, Dimensional Standards, and Architectural and Site Design Guidelines. For Parking, staff suggested substituting a new parking section that is identical to the parking section for the IDC. Planning Commission Meeting February 15, 2005 Page 1 of6 Paul then covered the Initial District Center (IDC) zone chapter which in many regards is the same as the INCC chapter with the following exceptions: In the Permitted Uses section there is the addition of hotels and lodging places, motion picture theaters, and several types of residential care facilities; in Dimensional Standards, the height limit is increased to 50 feet; in Architectural and Site Design Guidelines, there is a subsection outlining requirements of commercial structures in the zone; in Parking, staff suggested having both the INCC and the IDC read: "For non-residential uses, the minimum required parking is one space per employee plus one handicapped accessible space. On- site parking for non-residential uses shall not exceed one parking space per 300 square feet of floor area. Parking for residential uses shall not exceed two spaces per residential unit. On-site parking shall be to the rear of buildings facing the arterial street. Access to parking may be from adjacent non-arterial streets, or from driveways off of the arterial. Driveways providing access to parking area shall be well marked. On-street parking shall be allowed to help satisfy parking needs provided paved street widths provide adequate room pursuant to city standards for on-street parking:" Paul then read directly from a handout for additional language to be included to both chapters. The intent is to not set up a situation where the parking requirement prevents adaptive reuse of an existing building in either center. Chris Hugo further explained that the change in parking requirements for the core zones was intended to stimulate growth for small businesses that may not meet the current parking requirements but would be an asset to the neighborhood. Commissioner Streissguth asked for comments from the public. Seeing none, she closed this portion of the meeting and moved on to Commission statements. Chris reminded the Commissioners that the Centers Core zones can accommodate buildings up to 20,000 square feet; without having appropriate parking requirements in place, a larger business could potentially not have suitable parking. Commissioner Kosusko asked for clarification on what the maximum or minimum of setback is. Paul responded that it is in the definitions section; generally, it is measured to the portion of the building nearest to the street or sidewalk. There was brief discussion regarding minimum setback requirements for commercial structures in District Centers. With setbacks clarified, the dialogue moved to how structures with limited lot space be accessed. Paul suggested reversing the terms so that there is no maximum rear yard setback, and the minimum will be 20 feet. There was discussion regarding the minimum of 30% of commercial structures fronting the street in the Initial District Center Core must be within ten feet of the street. Paul explained that it would be 30% of new construction and not 30% of all structures, noting that this is a very modest number. The intent was for lineal feet and it was acknowledged that additional work on the language was needed. The dialogue moved to Permitted Uses, especially the topic of similar uses. Paul explained that the, Director can approve a use not listed if it is determined that it is similar to uses listed. Alluding to the recent event involving a funerary facility in Kitsap County's jurisdiction, it was decided that funeral services would be removed from the list Planning Commission Meeting February 15,2005 Page 20f6 of permitted uses In the Initial Neighborhood Center Core zone, g20.66.020(3)(a), Personal Services. . Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf asked about the omission of hotels, motels, and other lodging from the list of permitted uses in the Oyster Bay Neighborhood, her concern being that there are currently several hotel/motels in that area and the possibility of putting them in a non-conforming status. Paul assured Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf that a property in a legal, non-conforming status does not affect the value or insurability of that property; improvements can be made to existing property, but the size of the building's footprint cannot be enlarged. Leaving this item off the list of permitted uses will only prevent additional lodging structures from being built. Chris noted that there is no reference to density in the Initial Neighborhood Center Core zones and proposed adding the sentence, "... Any residential density shall be allowed to the limits of the dimensional standards in g20.66.050 and the site guidelines in ~20.66.060." Commissioner Streissguth wondered if this was an appropriate time to include incentives to prompt low-impact development guidelines. She thought the best location would be within the Building Code. This is an item Commissioner Streissguth feels the Commission should be aware of as other bodies of work are moved forward. She believes the City of Bremerton may be participating in a pilot project with Kitsap County to come up with recommendations for what will work in terms of incentives to generate interest in low-impact development. Chris suggested including this item in the middle section of the Zoning & Land Use chapter which covers land use development regulations. There was discussion regarding whether a multi-family residential structure could be allowed [in the Center Cores] because of the requirement that residential uses only be on the upper floors of mixed use buildings. It was decided to remove multi-family residential structures from the list. Paul moved on to amendments recommended by staff. In ~20.66.060(A)(7)(b), Architectural Guidelines, regarding variations in building heights. It was proposed that the sentence read, "The inclusion of a building element, the height of which varies from the remainder ofthe building by at least ten per cent." Commissioner Kosusko asked for clarification of the statement, ".. . Building fa~ades shall not present a blank fa9ade to view", wanting to know if that means the side, back, street side, etc. Paul replied that the intent was to address the fa~ades other that those that face the street. He suggested language be added such as, to view from a public right of way, common parking area, or adjacent residential property, or by employing other architectural devices. Commissioner Nelson suggested defining what those architectural devices would be. Commissioner Kosusko recommended replacing the word "Standards" with "Guidelines" in g22.66.060. Planning Commission Meeting February 15,2005 Page 30f6 Paul continued with the suggested amendments with S20.66.060(A)(6). Staff proposed rewriting tQ read, "One tree for every twenty-five linear feet (25') of street frontage shall be planted . along a street, and shall be spaced a maximum of thirty-five feet (35') on center. However, trees may be spaced irregularly in natural groupings rather than uniformly spaced except as noted elsewhere in this chapter." It was agreed upon by the Commissioners use staff s recommendation and defer to the neighborhood process. [Chris Hugo left the meeting at this time.] Staff then proposed that in ~20.66.060(B)(1), the term "residential uses" be replaced with "residential or office uses". There was much discussion regarding this item. Paul revisited the section dealing with Parking. He read directly from his list of proposed amendments, explaining points where clarification was needed [copy is located in the meeting file]. There was discussion of how parking could be accessed from an alley, given the nature of alleys in Bremerton. The narrowness of an alley could be mitigated though the use of one-way traffic. Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf asked if alleys are public right-of-ways; Paul said they are. Paul noted that comments he had received for the Initial District Center Core were identical to the comments for the Initial Neighborhood Center Core and suggested the proposed amendments for the- IDCC be applied to the INeC as well. Commissioner Kosusko suggested adding language to limit building footprint size in the IDCe. Paul replied that the Jack of a. maximum building siz~ requirement in this section was intentional, noting that the intent to control building size was lot coverage. It was agreed upon by the Commissioners to add language clarifying building size to ~20.70.050(A), Dimensional Standards. Commissioner Streissguth asked for staff to read back the list of proposed amendments. They are: Neighborhood Center- 1. Amend g20.66.050(3) to read, "No maximum rear yard setback. The minimum setback shall be twenty feet." 2. Remove the phrase "funeral services" from g20.66.020(3)(a). 3. Rewrite g20.66.060(A)(7)(b) to read: "The inclusion of a building element, the height of which varies from the remainder ofthe building by at least ten per cent." 4. Rewrite g20.66.020(7) to read: "Density shall be allowed per standards and guidelines found in g20.66.050 and g20.66.060". 5. Amend g20.66.060(B), replacing the word "regulations" with "guidelines". 6. In g20.66.060, strike the term "multi-family residential" from the first sentence. 7. In g20.66.060(B)(I), add the phrase "or office" after "residential" each time it is used. Also, add language stating that such office or residential uses would be a vested use. 8. Amend 20.66.060(2) to include public art, public display case or board. 9. Rewrite g20.66.060(B)(2) to make a reference to the current tree standards in the Landscape code. 10. Add to g20.66.060(A)(6) the language, "... the view from right-of-ways or common parking areas" as well as the phrase, "other architectural devices" at the end of the section. 11. Parking section to be amended to make it identical to the District Center. Planning Commission Meeting. February 15,2005 Page 4 of6 District Center - 1. Same changes where possible as the Neighborhood Center. 2. Add new ,subsection (A) to 920.70.050 that states building size will be based on sections '. 3. Change parking section in the !NCC and the IDCe to include the following: "6. Reduction in number of required parking spaces. 'The Director may reduce the number of required parking spaces on a site by up to ten when a remodel, expansion, alteration, or change in the use or tenancy of an existing building occurs, provided: a. For sites with multiple uses or structures, the reduction shall be applied to the entire site and not to individual uses. b. When a use is non-conforming to the required number of off-street parking spaces, it shall not be allowed to reduce the number of existing spaces." 4. Amend g20.70.060(B)(l) to read, "No less than thirty per cent of the lineal frontage foot of a site shall be occupied by commercial structures that are set back no less than ten feet from the public right-of-way." Commissioner Streissguth reminded staff of typographical errors that need correction as well. A motion was made by Commissioner Kennedy and seconded by Commissioner Friedberg-Nerf to recommend moving forward for Council action Chapter 20.66 and Chapter 20.70, including the amendments as read by staff. Called for discussion. A motion was made by Commissioner' Kosusko and seconded by Commissioner Cockburn to amend the original motion changing ~20.66.050(3) to read "There are no setback requirements except where abutting residential uses in which a twenty foot minimum setback is required." This motion passed unanimously. The amended original motion was called for a vote: Cockburn: Yes; Hoell: Yes; Kennedy: Yes; Kosusko: Yes; Nelson: Yes; Streissguth: Yes; Friedberg-Nerf: Yes. The motion carried. Dri Ralph, Environmental Planner, gave an update on the Critical Areas Ordinance. The first meeting on the Critical Areas Ordinance will be on Thursday, February 17 at 5:30 in the Mayor's Conference Room. Representatives from the Department of Ecology, the Department of Natural Resources, the Tribe, as well as City of Bremerton Forestry will be at the meeting.
