Comprehensive Plan Amendments
MDR (Medium Density Residential)
Purpose/Intent
To create a designation that recognizes the existing built environment of medium density -type
development and encourages redevelopment opportunities. This designation will be for neighborhoods
which are primarily developed with duplexes and similar uses.
Location
Neighborhoods that consist primarily of duplex type structures as mapped.
Land Uses
Single family dwelling units (attached or detached), duplexes, and townhomes. Low intensity compatible
uses such as churches, schools, senior housing, and parks.
Intensity/Density
• 40 18 dwelling units per acre
• Three to four stories
Character
The designation consists of neighborhoods that are currently developed predominantly with duplexes.
As many of these duplexes were constructed from the World War II boom, much of this area could
benefit from redevelopment. By outrightly allowing duplexes, single family homes, and townhouses, this
area may be able to be revitalized and continue to provide a wide variety of housing types.
developMeRt is
Medium Density Residential Specific Policies
LU1: Plan for Growth
LU1-MDR(A): Provide wider variety in residential designations throughout the city to achieve a greater
diversity of housing.
LU2: Encourage Economic Development
LU2-MDR(A): Encourage adaptive reuse and preservation of existing commercial spaces that are
compatible with surrounding community.
LU3: Protect the Environment
LU3-MDR(A): Encourage clustering to reduce total site footprint and help maintain natural hydrologic
characteristics of the site.
LU4: Promote Community Health
LU4-MDR(A): Promote neighborhoods that foster interaction among residents, contribute to well-being
of citizenry, and create and sustain a sense of community and personal safety.
LU4-MDR(8): Develop pedestrian connections between residential areas and neighborhood services.

Purpose/Intent
To create new and support existing single family neighborhoods.
Location
Residential neighborhoods located throughout the city as mapped.
Land Uses
Single family residential homes, duplexes and townhouses, and low intensity compatible uses such as
churches, schools, senior housing, and parks. Accessory dwelling units are encouraged.
Intensity/Density
• 5 to 10 dwelling units per acre
• Three stories and conditionally allowed uses may be four stories
Character
The City's residential neighborhoods are characterized by single-family homes on traditional urban lots.
There are some existing small-scale commercial structures with LDR, which should be encouraged to be
redeveloped by adaptive reuses to provide services to the neighborhood.
Low Density Residential Specific Policies
LU1: Plan for Growth
LU1-LDR(A): Promote neighborhoods that foster interaction among residents, contribute to well-being of
citizenry, and create and sustain a sense of community and personal safety.

LU2: Encourage Economic Development
LU2-LDR(A): Encourage adaptive reuse and preservation of existing commercial structures that are
compatible with surrounding community.
LU2-LDR(B): Support mineral extraction in limited areas on larger undeveloped parcels as long as there
are no adverse effects on other environmental resources or living systems, or on public health, safety,
and welfare.
Discussion: A Mineral Resource Overlay allows for mineral extraction in areas where the grading
could prep a site for future residential development, including areas in West Bremerton.
Ordinance 5363: Exhibit A
GC (General Commercial)
To provide locations for general commercial uses serving the entire community while buffering impacts
to adjacent residential areas. The designation accommodates access to businesses by automobile while
also creating a pedestrian -friendly, transit -supporting corridor.
Location
Along high traffic corridors/primary arterials as mapped such as Kitsap Way and Wheaton Way. Also
includes area near 15th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, Perry Avenue, and Olympus.
Land Uses
Commercial uses, Mixed-use, and stand-alone residential if it is located away from major arterials.
Intensity/Density
• 30 units peF aNo residential density requirement
• Three to five stories
Character
The General Commercial designation provides for intense commercial activities. It focuses growth along
transportation corridors and is intended to provide appropriate locations for activities that require high
levels of access by automobile traffic. Design considerations include encouraging multistory buildings
near the street frontage, with street trees, attractive landscaping, benches, and frequent transit stops.
Transit -oriented residential uses are appropriate on second or third floors near the street and transit
stops. Office uses may also be appropriate near the street frontage. Uses in areas away from the street
include parking and more intense retail uses. Special design provisions should be utilized to provide
adequate buffering and transitions to less intense land uses in adjacent areas. Parking for larger
commercial operations is encouraged to be located behind or beside street -fronting structures. Sites
should include adequate landscaping, architectural standards, and other site design considerations to
assure compatibility with neighboring uses. Stand-alone residential uses are encouraged provided they
are not located on a major arterial.
General Commercial Specific Policy
LU1: Plan for Growth
LU1-GC(A): Encourage the formation and continuance of a compatible and economically healthy
environment for uses which benefit from being located in close proximity to each other; and to
discourage any encroachment by uses capable of adversely affecting the basic commercial character of
the district.

PSIC Subarea Plan C-16 Adopted August 1, 2012; Ordinance 5188
Ordinance 5363: Exhibit C
2. An issued site development permit or a building permit with associated parking is
required for the establishment of a gravel parking lot or driveway. At no time shall a
gravel parking lot or driveway be installed without a permit approval.
3. The gravel paved areas are intended to run with the land regardless if the property
or business is sold or re -occupied. However, for the life of the project, any on-site
changes to the occupancy, business or use that utilize the gravel
"paving" that violates any portion of this code, will require the gravel "paving"
to be paved with an all-weather surface.
4. The property owner provides a letter of request, provides a site plan (to scale) that
clearly indicates where gravel or other pervious surfacing area will be placed,
quantification of the area and can demonstrate that the gravel or other pervious
surfacing areas are designed and will be maintained in accordance
with or exceeding the requirements contained in the City currently adopted
Stormwater manual (or as amended);
5. Gravel parking facilities shall be surfaced with no less than three inches of crushed
gravel and shall be maintained on a regular basis;
6. Dust is controlled throughout the site, and control measures are provided and
accepted by the City,
7. Rock and other debris is not tracked off site; and
8. To ensure pollution generating equipment is controlled within the area of
gravel paving, an emergency spill control plan shall be prepared and implemented.
9. Protection of Roads & Trails. To ensure non -bound materials, such as gravel, does
not enter into a lane of travel, the criteria below is applicable.
(a) This requirement is only for those parcels that access directly to a public or
private street. This requirement is not applicable to areas that access a gravel
easement or tract unless there is an approved Site Plan or Planning Document
that identifies that the area is becoming a private or public street.
(b) Driveway and similar road approaches shall be paved with an all-weather
paved surface, from at least 100 feet back from the property line of the paved
right-of-way to ensure gravel or other non -bound material has been removed
from the vehicle and tires.
(c) If the gravel drive lane crosses an existing or under -construction paved
urban trail for pedestrians and/or bicyclist, a minimum of ten (10) feet on both
sides of the trail shall have an all-weather paved surface.
4.050 Landscaping
The purpose of this section is to ensure that site landscaping within PSIC reflects key
goals related to sustainable development and stewardship of critical areas. The
retention of existing trees and vegetation is important to help promote the
utilization of natural systems for environmental benefits, reduce the impacts of
development on the storm drainage system, moderate the urban heat island effect
and provide a better transition between various land uses within the City. The
requirements of BMC Chapter 20.50 shall apply, except as modified or supplemented
in this subsection. Please also see Chapter DA. for recommended design guidelines.
b. Vegetation Preservation
1. To the greatest extent feasible, existing healthy significant trees defined in BMC
20.50.050(d)(4) shall be retained on site.
2. Site design shall attempt to preserve existing trees where feasible. However,
should a proposal include the removal of all or portions of a site's significant
tree cover a certified arborist or professional forester shall be retained by the
applicant to inventory the tree(s) and make recommendations regarding the
protection, retention, preservation, removal and replacement of the tree(s). A
copy of the report and recommendations shall be submitted to the City as part
of the site development process and prior to clearing.
3. If any trees in required landscaped areas are deemed to be hazardous and must
be removed, the following replacement standards are required:

Equivalence Table
As discussed in the previous section of this chapter, the Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) are areas within the
County that the City will be expanding into as the city grows. To assist with that transition of annexation,
the following chart illustrates equivalent Kitsap County Land Use designations to corresponding City
designation for all the City's UGAs. For some of the City's UGAs, we have lead subarea planning efforts,
such as Gorst and Puget Sound Industrial Center— Bremerton (formerly the South Kitsap Industrial
Center). For those areas, their adopted Subarea Plan's designation would become enacted at the point
of annexation.
