Memorandum
To: City Council
Mayor Greg Wheeler
From: Caroline Tompson, Budget Analyst
Re: 2019 Mid-Year Budget Amendment, Ordinance No. 5367
Date: May 22, 2019
The City adopted the 2019 budget by Ordinance No. 5360 on November 20, 2018. Each year the City
assesses its current fiscal year budget and addresses any needed adjustments that have come to the
attention of the staff in Financial Services. Adjustments for both revenue and expenditures are brought
forward for the following reasons: to adjust the estimated beginning fund balances to actual, to account
for subsequent unanticipated/unexpected conditions, to account for previously approved projects that
were underway in 2018 that were not concluded and require carryover expenditure authority, to reallocate
revenue and expenditure line items within budget control categories with zero net increase, and to
formally account for various council motions/resolutions previously approved to date during 2019.
Enclosed is the mid-year budget amendment ordinance and detailed supporting schedules. Noteworthy
items not previously approved by Council, and/or are significant, are as follows:
General Fund
The actual beginning fund balance was higher than anticipated by $1,977,883. The additional
reserves came from $699,174 in additional revenue and a $1,278,709 savings in expenditures
throughout all departments within the General Fund.
The Financial Services budget includes a $25,000 increase in supplies for additional banking fees
associated with an increase in credit card transactions.
The professional services line item in Legal requires a budget adjustment in the amount of
$75,000 for ongoing expenditures associated with the EPA CERCLA and additional outside legal
counsel.
A $250,000 transfer from the General Fund Non-Departmental budget to the Information
Technology Fund is included in this amendment as a set-a-side for the anticipated Police I-Leads
replacement software. The existing system is no longer supported and will be replaced in 2020
with an estimated cost of $2 million shared between six entities. The City’s cost share is
estimated between $300,000 and $400,000 in 2020. Information Technology will be coordinating
the transition to the new system.
2
The Non-Departmental Budget includes an additional $97,100 transfer-out to the Street Fund.
The additional funding is necessary to cover the cost of the February snow and ice removal and
subsequent street and sidewalk clean-up.
The 2019 Non-Departmental budget included $456,000 in set-a-side personnel costs for pending
labor negotiations. The budget amendment reallocates $301,000 of that set-a-side to various
departments within the General Fund.
Other Funds
As mentioned above, the Street Fund includes a $97,100 increase in both personnel and supplies
for the costs associated with snow and ice removal. The expenditure is funded by a transfer-in
from the General Fund.
Due to an increase in available funding, the transfer-out from CDBG to the Transportation Capital
Projects Fund was increase by $32,505 for the ADA Curb Ramps and Sidewalk Project.
The Risk Management Fund includes an additional $50,000 in expenditure appropriations due to
unforeseen and unexpected medical expenses.
Similar to the General Fund, a total adjustment of $325,700 in personnel is budgeted throughout
nine funds to account for additional negotiated labor costs.
Budget adjustments are necessary to properly reflect the nature and extent of revenues and expenditures
of the various City funds and departments. The attached ordinance and supporting schedules (by fund)
include adjustments by budget control category for both revenues and expenditures with a City-wide
appropriation, including fund balance, of $179,394,258.

Per the City's Financial Goals and Policies, the target ending fund balance is 8.5% of annual expenditures excluding
capital. The target fund balance for the 2019 budget, as amended, is $3,844,910. The actual ending fund balance after
the proposed amendments is $9,304,461 which is higher than the target amount by $5,459,551. The 2019 budget as
proposed, includes an ending fund balance which exceeds the target, and is increased from the previously adopted
budget by $1,508,501. The financial planning goal is to maintain an ending fund balance recommended by the
Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of 16.67%, or $7,540,548. The proposed budget with amendments,
meets this recommendation.

Replacement Project
COUNCIL MEETING Date: June 5, 2019
Department: PW&U
Presenter: Tom Knuckey, P.E.
Phone: (360) 473-2376
SUMMARY: Sewer Pump Station CW -4, located at the end of Ohio Avenue, sits on the edge of a
bluff. The pump station and the contributing sewer and laterals are difficult to access and maintain.
The pump station will be relocated upland to the street and the gravity sewer infrastructure on the
beach will be decommissioned. The pump station will be connected to an 8-inch force main on Ohio
Avenue and pump to the Crosstown Pipeline at 13th Street and Navel Avenue, allowing the City to
abandon the sewer beach force main. Additional work includes installation of 6 individual grinder
pumps at residences, an 800-foot 6-inch force main along 17th Street, and a triplex pump station at
18th Street and Chester Avenue.
There was one (1) bid submitted from Pape & Sons, Construction, Inc. in the amount of $2,016,500
(which includes sales tax).
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Agreement; 2) Bid Tabulation; and 3) Vicinity Map
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): The project was included in the 2019 CIP at
$1,800,000. The construction bid received was approximately $400,000 higher than the engineer’s
estimate; total project costs are currently estimated at $2,385,000. No budget adjustment is required
since total expenditures under the Wastewater Capital budget will not be exceeded.

Dear Bill and Peter:
NOVA Contracting, Inc. (NOVA) is writing regarding the above referenced project. NOVA submitted a bid for
the above referenced project but was late. NOVA apologizes for being late, but it was not entirely our fault.
NOVA submission was late due to last minute electrical bid proposals and confusion as to where to submit the
bid proposal to the City.
The electrical bid portion of the project was very important. Multiple electrical work locations, generators,
pumps and controls, etc. made the electrical work portion of the project a critical aspect. Only two electrical
quotations were received with the last quotation received past NOVA’s necessary departure time. NOVA made
the decision to delay departure so that the City would receive a more competitive bid proposal for this project.
Addendum No.2 dated May 10, 2019, requested bids to be submitted to “Suite 600.” However, upon NOVA’s
arrival to Suite 600, they were requested to turn in the bid to “Suite 100.” NOVA would have been on time if
there was not a confusion as to where to submit our bid.
It has come to our attention that the only bidder for the project was $2,016,500. NOVA’s late bid proposal was
for $1,906,083. NOVA suggests that the City rebid the project and save $50,000 – 100,000. NOVA is
confident through experience with the City’s staff that the project start date would not be jeopardized in
addition to saving the City $50,000 – 100,000. We are aware that to rebid the project would cost the City more
time and money but in the end the savings would be well worth it.
Thank you for your consideration. Please call me
Very Truly Yours:

Subject:Re: Proposed Ban on Single-Use Plastic Bags
Date:Friday, May 17, 2019 1:35:59 PM
Great question! I have researched the single-use plastic bag issue, and I think the following
article does a good job of explaining the difference between different types of bags (i.e.,
“traditional”, “degradable”, “biodegradable”, or “compostable”):
https://www.1millionwomen.com.au/blog/plastic-bags-whats-difference-between-degradable-
compostable-and-biodegradable/
From what I have read, it sounds like “compostable” bags are more expensive than traditional
bags. Accordingly, most stores are unlikely to spend more to provide compostable bags to
customers, unless a law is in place to require or adequately incentivize it.
I have also researched the issue of plastic bag bans with carryout bag fees versus plastic bag
bans without carryout bag fees. Here are a couple of articles that address this issue well:
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/why-carryout-bag-fees-are-better-than-plastic-bag-
bans_us_588187ace4b08f5134b61f79
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/11/13/the-surprising-reason-why-
those-5-cent-charges-for-plastic-bags-actually-work/?utm_term=.f207d4529c62
The data indicate that the carryout bag fee is the most important component of the law in
terms of changing consumer behavior, so that the majority of consumers bring their own
reusable bags rather than accepting carryout bags. Without the bag fee, most consumers will
continue to accept whatever carryout bags are provided for free.
Why should we discourage customers from taking free paper bags by imposing a bag fee after
banning plastic bags? Paper bags have nonrenewable fossil fuel embedded costs (extraction of
raw materials, manufacturing, and lots of transport to various facilities and ultimately to
individual stores - note that paper bags are heavier than plastic bags, thus requiring more fuel
to transport to the retailers). Hence, both plastic bags and paper bags have a high embedded
cost of nonrenewable fossil fuels. Properly incentivizing people, with a bag fee, to bring their
own reusable bags is the best alternative.

Plastic Bags: What’s The
Difference Between
Degradable, Compostable
and Biodegradable?
Jul 11, 2016
The other weekend I asked my partner to run out and grab some groceries I needed for dinner. I
noticed him leaving, sans re-usable bag so yelled, "don't forget this!" and chucked a cotton bag
his way. He grabbed the bag and said "it's okay if I forget a bag anyway, they (our local grocery
shop) use biodegradable bags!" as he headed out the door.
It seems to be a common misconception that degradable o r biodegradable bags are a suitable
alternative to plastic bags, but they're great in theory and environmentally destructive in reality.
Recently, a senate enquiry into the threat of marine plastic pollution in Australia found that the
degradable bag option is equally as bad for the environment as regular plastic bags.
The report based on the senate findings stated that:
"WHILE CONSUMERS MIGHT FEEL THEY ARE 'DOING THE RIGHT THING' BY CHOOSING
BIODEGRADABLE OR DEGRADABLE PLASTIC, THESE PRODUCTS SIMPLY
DISINTEGRATE INTO SMALLER AND SMALLER PIECES TO BECOME MICROPLASTIC."
The inquiry also found that there is some serious confusion amongst the community surrounding
the difference between bag types. It can be difficult to navigate the minefield of planet -friendly
options, so here's our handy guide to help you separate what's truly eco from what to veto.
Traditional plastic bags
How are traditional plastic bags detrimental to our environment? Let me count the ways. Single-
use plastic bags have an average life span of 12 minutes, and worldwide we are using 2 million
of these every sixty seconds.
Polyethene bags are made from a non-renewable resource, and are incredibly harmful to the
marine environment as they never biodegrade. Instead, they will simply break into smaller and
smaller pieces over hundreds of years, inflicting untold amounts of damage to natural
ecosystems.

Biodegradable plastic bags
To put it simply, something is biodegradable when living things, like fungi or bacteria, can break
it down. Biodegradable bags are made from plant-based materials like corn and wheat starch
rather than petroleum. However when it comes to this kind of plastic, there are certain
conditions required for the bag to begin to biodegrade.
Firstly, temperatures need to reach 50 degrees Celsius. Secondly, the bag needs to be exposed
to UV light. In an oceanic environment, you'd be hard pressed to meet either of these criteria.
Plus, if biodegradable bags are sent to landfill, they break down without oxygen to produce
methane, a greenhouse gas with a warming capacity 21 times more powerful than carbon
dioxide.
Degradable or 'oxo-degradable' plastic bags
Degradable items don't have living organisms as a crucial part of the breakdown process.
Degradable bags cannot be classed as biodegradable or compostable. Instead, chemical
additives used in the plastic allow the bag to break down quicker than a standard plastic bag
usually would.
Essentially bags touted as 'degradable' are definitely not beneficial, and can even be worse for
the environment! Degradable bags that disintegrate just become tinier and tinier pieces of
microplastic quicker, and still pose serious threats to marine life. Microplastics enter the food
chain lower down, getting eaten by smaller species and then continuing to make their way up
the food chain as these smaller species are consumed.
Professor Tony Underwood from the University of Sydney described degradable plastic bags as
"not a solution to anything much, unless we are quite happy to shift it all into particle -sized
plastics rather than plastic bag-sized plastic."
"NOT A SOLUTION TO ANYTHING MUCH, UNLESS WE ARE QUITE HAPPY TO SHIFT IT
ALL INTO PARTICLE-SIZED PLASTICS RATHER THAN PLASTIC BAG-SIZED PLASTIC." -
PROFESSOR TONY UNDERWOOD ON DEGRADABLE BAGS
Compostable plastic bags
The word 'compostable' is incredibly misleading for the average consumer. You'd think a bag
labeled 'compostable' would mean you could throw it in your backyard compost alongside your
fruit and vegie scraps, right? Wrong. Compostable bags biodegrade, but only under certain
conditions.
Compostable bags need to be composted in a specific composting facility, of which there are
very few of in Australia. Compostable bags are generally made from plant material that return to
base organic components when processed by these facilities, but the problem lies in the fact
there are thus far only 150 of these facilities Australia wide.
Can I recycle plastic bags?
Plastic bags, biodegradable, degradable and compostable bags cannot be placed in your
standard recycling bin at home. They can severely interfere with the recycling process if they
are.
However, your local supermarket may offer plastic bag recycling. Some supermarkets can also
recycle 'green bags' that are torn or no longer used.
Which is the best bag to use?
BYO bag is the best option. The labeling on plastic bags can be confusing and misleading, so
bringing your own bag along will avoid disposing of a plastic bag incorrectly.
Invest in a sturdy canvas bag, or a small cotton bag that you can throw in your handbag and use
when you get some last minute groceries.
We need to transition from relying on items of convenience, and instead focus on small actions
that show care for the world we live in. Ditching single-use plastic bags of all kinds is the first
step.

Why Carryout Bag Fees Are More Effective
Than Plastic Bag Bans
“Would you like to purchase a bag for that?” 01/20/2017 12:13 am ET Updated Feb 15, 2017
As New York City moves forward with implementation of its carryout bag fee law,
many people are asking why a fee is being pursued instead of a ban. Plastic bag
“bans” sound like an ultimate sweeping policy choice, in part because “bag ban” is a
term that has entered the American lexicon as shorthand for bag laws generally.
However, the fee component is the policy element that’s by far the most effective way
to change consumer behavior and reduce carryout bag consumption.
A “straight” plastic bag ban in the U.S. generally means that thin plastic bags are
banned and paper and reusable bags are still available for free; this style of
ordinance is sometimes called a “first generation” plastic bag ban. Straight bans often
result in consumers taking whichever alternatives are still available for free, meaning
that consumption of free paper and thicker plastic bags that qualify as a “reusable
bag” (2.25 mils thick under most laws) often increases to some extent as
consumption of thin single-use plastic bag use decreases.
Straight plastic bag bans implemented in Chicago and Hawaii in recent years resulted
in many stores, including Walmart, simply upping the thickness of their plastic bags to
2.25 mils to cross the threshold that separates “single-use” plastic from “reusable”
plastic bags under many bag laws. In response to seeing that a straight plastic bag
ban did not work as intended, Chicago recently scrapped its plastic ban in favor of a
7-cent fee on all carryout bags.
Underlying all of this is that the plastics industry, and to a lesser extent the grocers’
industry, have a history of threatening to sue any jurisdiction that moves forward with
straight plastic bag bans. Plastic bag manufacturers have an obvious interest in
protecting an unregulated marketplace for their product and plastics industry trade
groups have been lobbying against bag bans and fees practically since the idea was
first articulated. Plastic bag manufacturers have also found that litigation - suing cities
to stop adoption or implementation of bans and fees - to be incredibly effective in
slowing down the speed at which bag laws are adopted. The plastics industry’s best
argument against bans has been an environmental one, that if plastic bags are
banned then people will just use paper (or whatever is free) and therefore the
outcome of bans could be worse for the environment.
Grocers’ industry groups have a different motivation for not wanting straight bans, the
main reason being that paper bags cost significantly more than plastic: thin plastic
bags cost 1-3 cents and paper bags with handles and recycled content cost around
8-10 cents. In practice, laws that ban plastic and don’t mandate a charge on paper
bags often result in stores providing paper for free, since stores want to make sure
consumers purchase as much as possible and most grocery stores don’t want to run
the risk of offending customers by charging for paper bags when a charge is not
mandated. The cost of supplying for free the more expensive paper bags cuts into the
grocers’ profit. As a result, grocery store associations often oppose straight plastic
bag bans and sometimes file lawsuits (including one in New York state) using many
of the same arguments that plastics industry groups do.
These plastics industry and grocer lawsuits concentrate on weighting the merits of
plastic versus paper and various types of reusable bags in exhausting detail, down to
things like comparing the greenhouse gas emissions for paper bags versus plastic
because paper takes up more space in trucks and additional trucks idling in front of
stores due to increased paper bag consumption could possibly contribute more
overall diesel emissions. Many cities have spent years in court battling these lawsuits
regarding straight bans, with mixed results.
In response to the lack of real change in consumer behavior resulting from straight
bans as well as threatened lawsuits from industry groups with innocuous-sounding
names like Coalition to Support Plastic Bag Recycling and Save the Plastic Bag
Coalition, cities that had pioneered straight plastic bag ban - namely San Francisco -
began to add a minimum charge for paper bags and reusable bags. These new
ordinances kept the ban on thin plastic in place and added a 10-cent charge to all
other carryout bags including paper and reusable bags of any kind. These new
ban/fee hybrids were deemed “second generation bans” and they were much more
effective: overall single-use bag consumption decreased. When customers are
suddenly presented with the question “Would you like to purchase a bag for that?”
bag consumption drops dramatically. For example, in San Jose, California reusable
bag use increased greatly following the implementation of the ordinance, from almost
4 percent of bags observed to approximately 62 percent of bags observed.
Washington DC’s 5-cent charge on paper and plastic carryout bags that went into
effect in 2010, and has led to a 60% drop in overall single-use bags and a
corresponding drop in bag litter in the river there. Eighty percent of Washington DC
residents surveyed were positive or neutral about the bag fee there. One benefit to
the fee on all bags versus a ban/fee hybrid is that many people use thin plastic bags
as liners for small trash cans and to pick up after dogs and with a fee those bags are
still available for a small fee so that people don’t feel the need to spend more money
on specialized alternatives, but the fee makes consumers more mindful about
whether they need a bag for each purchase.
Where the money from bag fees goes presents its own set of challenges. When cities
started mandating fees on bags outside of Washington DC, plastics industry groups
found another reason to sue. Cities and towns generally don’t have the power to levy
taxes unless specifically granted permission to do so by the state. Washington DC
isn’t part of a state so was able to levy a 5-cent tax on bags and have a portion of the
money generated go to a bag education and river clean-up fund. However, when
other cities started discussing imposing paper bag fees and sending that money back
to local governments for a similar clean-up or education purpose, they were
threatened with lawsuits again, this time for unconstitutional taxation.
To avoid this claim of unconstitutionality, municipalities — including the County of Los
Angeles — mandated that retailers must charge 10 cents for paper bags and that the
entire amount must stay with the retailer. Los Angeles County was sued and the
California Court of Appeal found that, because no money went to the government, the
mandatory charge could not be considered a tax. LA County’s bag law (a ban on thin
plastic and 10 cent charge for paper) was upheld. Many other cities across the U.S.
then followed LA County’s model and required that the entire amount of the charge
stay with stores. Plastics industry groups often use the fact that bag ban money must
legally remain with the retailer to malign the laws as “grocers-getting-rich” but the
truth is that there isn’t much of a choice for local lawmakers as far as where the bag
fee money can go and, perhaps more importantly, a bag fee of 5-10 cents is roughly
equal to the cost of providing a carryout bag.
The take-home lesson here is that either a bag fee on all bags or a ban/fee hybrid
that covers all types of bags are the most effective methods to reduce overall bag
consumption as well as avoid getting sued in the process. Also, many NYC residents
expressed concerns that they re-use plastic bags as garbage liners or for picking up
after their dogs, so a fee on all bags was determined to be the best policy option for
NYC.
The City Council passed NYC’s #BYOBag law, a minimum 5-cent fee on all carryout
bags, in May 2016. NYC’s law is scheduled to be implemented on February 15, 2017
unless the NY state legislature blocks the fee with a preemption bill. To learn more
about the preemption bill visit NYC Council Member Brad Lander’s website, for
grassroots activism updates visit the BagItNYC Facebook page, and if you’d like to
show your support for NYC’s law, sign this petition against preemption.
Economic Policy
The surprising reason why those 5 cent charges
for plastic bags actually work
By Chris Mooney November 13, 2014
If you live in
Washington, you know
the drill: After bagging
your groceries, the
checkout machine asks
you how many bags you
used. And if you used
plastic or disposable
bags (rather than bags
you brought on your
own), you have to pay 5
cents per bag. The
District passed a law
requiring as much in
2009 -- a policy that
states like New Jersey and New York are also considering, and that has been
adopted around the world from Ireland and Scotland to South Africa.
Some localities have gone farther still -- California and Hawaii have effectively
banned plastic bags outright -- but recent research suggests that charges or fees
can also be effective (and have the added benefit of being less coercive). Moreover,
it suggests that they work, at least in part, through a surprising mechanism. It's
not just the relatively minor added cost, on its own, that impels people to stop
using plastic bags and to instead bring their own bags with them to the store.
Rather, it's the way this small change disrupts habitual behaviors and helps people
draw a tighter linkage between the environmental awareness that they already
possess, and actions in the world that actually advance that consciousness and
their values.
Such is the upshot of a new study on plastic bag charges published in the Journal
of Environmental Psychology by a team of Argentinian researchers, led by
psychologist Adriana Jakovcevic of Buenos Aires University. Charging a relatively
small amount for bags "produces changes in behavior," says Jakovcevic, "and these
changes are not only because of the economic value of the incentive -- there are
also some other processes at play that involve environmental concerns."
As the researchers note, Buenos Aires provides a perfect opportunity to study the
effects of plastic bag charges because in 2012, the vast city's Environmental
Protection Agency put in place bag restrictions that in turn led the leading
supermarket chain association to institute a bag charge (the equivalent of 2.5 U.S.
cents for bags of medium size and 4 cents for large bags) Oct. 9, 2012. For smaller
supermarket associations, meanwhile, the same charge went into effect roughly
two months later on Dec. 10, 2012. But for Gran Buenos Aires, the larger area that
surrounds the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA), there was no change
instituted at all.
This is, the researchers note, a "natural experiment": You have three groups of
supermarket shoppers, two of which experienced new bag charges at different
times, and one of which did not experience plastic bag charges at all. So the
researchers conducted several field studies, observing shoppers leaving
supermarkets in low-to-middle income areas in the three different regions at
different times -- before any policies went into place, after the first change, and
after the second change.
The result was that sure enough, the policies greatly increased the percentage of
shoppers who were observed to be carrying their own bag. Here's a figure from
their study, showing the effects for the first set of supermarkets to institute the
charge (CABA1), the second set (CABA2), and for supermarkets in Gran Buenos
Aires that never saw a bag charge instituted (GBA). Consumers were observed at
four times: before any policies took place (Time 1), just after the first policy
affected CABA1 (Time 2), four weeks after the policy change (Time 3), and then
shortly after the second policy affected CABA2 (Time 4):
Clearly, the bag fees worked to dramatically increase the habit of people carrying
their own bags. But importantly, in a second study that involved directly
interviewing consumers who were observed to leave supermarkets carrying either
plastic bags or their own bags, the researchers tried to get at why they had begun
to adopt this new behavior, rather than paying the relatively small bag charges that
had been instituted.
First, it turned out that a surprising number of people didn't like the bag charge
policy, but started carrying their own bags anyway. According to Jakovcevic, it is
likely that the small economic cost is the best way of explaining the behavior of
these individuals. Past research, however, has called into question whether a
purely economic effect like this is a lasting one, with sustained influence on
behavior.
But there was another group of Argentinian shoppers -- those who supported the
charge and carried their own bags for reasons of environmental concern. They
cared much less about economics and much more about green motives.
"The people who supported the policy most, they also say they do it for
environmental reasons," says Jakovcevic, "and this is a stronger finding because it
was an open question, the people could say anything that comes into their mind,
and most of them say it was to protect the environment." For these shoppers, says
Jakovcevic, the policy provided an opportunity to "rethink why they are using
plastic bags or their own bags, and if they care about the environment, this will
push them to change their behavior and change it longer over time."
Thus, the paper concludes that the bag charge might have worked "both by the
activation of pre-existent pro-environmental attitudes and by a direct effect of the
charge on behavior." In addition, it suggests that the new policy worked in another
way as well -- by being disruptive of the status quo and changing people's default
options and choices. "After the introduction of the plastic bag charge, customers
had to explicitly approve or request to obtain a bag and pay for it," notes the study.
They couldn't just get one without thinking about it.
So just maybe, a little 5 cent charge can indeed help the environment. You don't
have to confiscate all the plastic bags in the world to save the environment
(enraging anyone from industry to the Tea Party in the process). You can just give
people the slightest push, and let them fix the problem themselves.
RE: Comments on Plastic Bag Ban (WA Food Industry Association)
Good afternoon,
My name is Catherine Holm and I am the legislative manager/legal counsel for the Washington Food
Industry Association. The Washington Food Industry Association represents independently owned
grocery stores and convenience stores, and others in the food industry such as distributors, breweries
and coffee suppliers. I am reaching out to you today because you have decided to potentially implement
a plastic bag ban ordinance. We stand with Zero Waste Washington and NW Grocery Association, two
organizations you are currently working with. The first document is our policy paper which addresses
two important points for our members: 1) there is a need for the pass-through charge (10 cents); and 2)
the need for an alternative to paper bags. The second documents shows the difference in pricing
between paper and plastic bags, given to WFIA by one of our members, Bunzl Distribution – a major
distributor of paper and plastic bags throughout Washington State.
We encourage you to pass the plastic bag ban as long as there is a 10 cent pass-through charge and an
alternative to paper bags such as the 2.25 mil reusable plastic bag. Please let me know if you have any
questions. I plan on coming to your study session on Wednesday, and I look forward to meeting all of
you there.
Thank you.

PLASTIC BAG BAN
WFIA POSITION: WFIA supports a statewide plastic bag ban as long as there is a pass-
through charge of $0.10 per paper bag and an option for a 2.25 mil bag. Additionally, the
technical specifications of the bags must be industry standards.
BACKGROUND: Single-use plastic bags emerged as a popular bag choice in the 1970s. The
popularity of single-use bags can be traced to their convenience, lightweight construction,
affordability, and opportunity for reuse, among other reasons. However, concerns have
been raised about the environmental consequences they pose. In response, many local city
or county governments throughout Washington State have chosen to ban single-use plastic
bags, which includes pass-through charges on single-use paper bags to encourage the use
of reusable bags. The grocery and convenience store industry has worked with these
governments and proponents of the bag bans to ensure these methods, and requirements
to accommodate the bag bans, are consistent.
A pass-through charge of $0.10 is needed to help supplement the cost difference between
plastic film bags and paper or 2.25 mil plastic reusable bags. Currently, paper bags cost
around $0.10 to $0.12 to buy from manufacturers, while plastic film bags cost $0.02 to buy
from manufacturers. Businesses need to be able to recuperate associated costs. Although it
is hopeful that consumers will transition to reusable bags, it is not guaranteed. The pass-
through charge will offset the cost increase to retailers. Otherwise, this is an additional cost
to the retailers, making it harder for your local grocery and convenience store to stay in
business.
At this point, the paper bag supply cannot meet paper bag demand. The demand for paper
bags is so high that many of our stores run out of paper bags. With more bans being
implemented throughout the country, it is important that there is an alternative to paper
bags for customers to use. The 2.25 mil plastic reusable bag is an acceptable alternative as
it is reusable and it can be recycled unlike the plastic film bags.

Cost per Bag: 8.6 Cents per Bag
Without the fee, converting plastic bags to paper bags is a huge cost. For example,
Rosauers Supermarkets has 14 stores in Washington State. They would pay an additional
$840,625 by switching to paper bags only. As such, we ask you to support the 10-cent fee, as
independent grocery and convenience stores need the fee as a way to recuperate the cost
difference between paper and plastic bags.
Bremerton City Council to revisit ban on
plastic bags
Christian Vosler, Kitsap Sun Published 5:47 p.m. PT May 29, 2019
BREMERTON — The Bremerton City Council is once again considering a ban on single-use plastic bags, part
of a statewide effort to reduce waste and promote the use of reusable bags.
City officials pondered a plastic bag ban last year, but the discussion was put on hold while the Legislature
debated a bill that would have banned single-use plastic bags statewide. The bill passed the Senate in March
but never made it to the House floor for a vote.
Now, the issue is before the city again. Kitsap County and the city of Port Orchard are also re-examining their
bag ban ordinances.
The proposed ordinance would prohibit retailers in the city from using plastic bags thinner than 2.25
millimeters, like those used at many grocery and convenience stores, and would require businesses to charge
an 8-cent fee for recyclable paper and reusable plastic bags.
Exceptions for some foods, SNAP users
There are some exceptions, including bags used for frozen food, meat, fish, produce and bulk items. Under
the ordinance, people who use public food assistance programs like WIC or SNAP would be able to waive the
8-cent fee.
Plastic bags can pose a danger to wildlife and the environment. Plastic bags put in the recycling stream can
clog up machines and slow down the separation process. Kitsap County residents use an estimated 87 million
plastic bags every year, according to county data.
“We're concerned about plastic getting out in the environment, right now we're seeing plastics are impacting
over 600 species in the marine environment,” said Heather Trim, executive director of Zero Waste
Washington, a nonprofit that has lobbied for similar plastic bag bans in cities and counties across the state.
Like the last time it took up the issue, several Bremerton City Council members expressed concern about the
mandatory 8-cent fee. Proponents of the ordinance say the charge will be an incentive for customers to bring
reusable bags when they shop and will help offset costs for the stores, which will be paying for more
expensive recyclable paper bags.
Industry groups representing both large and independent grocery stores have pushed for a mandatory fee. To
date, 29 municipalities in Washington have approved ordinances regulating plastic bags, according to Zero
Waste Washington.
Holly Chisa with the Northwest Grocery Association — which represents stores like Fred Meyer, QFC,
Safeway and Albertsons — met with council members during a study session last week to explain the benefits
of the pass-through charge.
“I don't support the government telling businesses, any business, what they have to
charge for anything, that should be a business decision.”
Councilwoman Pat Sullivan
“That fee, whether it's paper or plastic, changes that headspace, and so if your goal is a reduction in bag use,
what we see time and again is that plastic bag use is almost negligible when the fee kicks in and paper bag
use drops 85 percent,” Chisa said.
The 8-cent fee also “levels the playing field” for smaller stores, Chisa said. Thicker reusable plastic bags cost
eight cents on average; paper bags cost between 10 to 12 cents.
“It's a standard fee because my stores can get our bags for less, that's just the reality. A smaller, independent
store doesn't have the kind of buying power that I do,” Chisa told the council.
Councilwoman Pat Sullivan said she would oppose the ordinance unless the 8-cent fee was made optional.
“I don't support the government telling businesses, any business, what they have to charge for anything, that
should be a business decision,” Sullivan said.
Council president Eric Younger hasn’t decided how he will vote yet but said he believes businesses should be
able to decide to charge a fee or not. He added that Bremerton’s ordinance could be redundant if the
Legislature passes a law next session.
“The reason why I might be opposed is I prefer education, let consumers make the appropriate choice as
opposed to a mandate from local government,” Younger said.
'We have to be a better steward'
The remaining five council members said they supported the ordinance with the mandatory fee. Councilman
Michael Goodnow said there’s enough evidence that the charge will change consumers' behavior.
“I think living in a coastal community I think we have to be a better steward of this kind of thing because we
really have an easy ability to have our plastic end up in the water,” Goodnow said.
At the study session, Younger proposed waiting until Port Orchard discussed its bag ban ordinance. Kitsap
County is also planning to vote on an ordinance this summer.
“My concern is, I want businesses in Bremerton to be on a level playing field with the surrounding community,”
Younger said.
A majority of council members agreed to put the ordinance up for a vote at the next regular business meeting,
on June 5. If approved, it would be implemented on Jan. 1, 2020.
“It's great to hear what other cities are going to do too, but we're the big kid in town and I don't have a problem
having the smaller towns following what we're doing,” Goodnow said.

To: City Council
From: Allison Satter, Senior Planner
Date: May 24, 2019
Subject: Zoning Code Amendments related to Group Residential Facilities-Class II
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Planning Commission has unanimously recommended that the City Council review and
approve the proposed Ordinance to make changes to the Bremerton Municipal Code related
to the Group Residential Facilities, specifically Class II Facilities.
Zoning Code Proposed Text Amendment
The proposed Ordinance has updates to the Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) Title 20
related to Group Residential Facilities – Class II. This memo summarizes the proposed
changes.
Group Residential Definition and Class II Facilities Siting Criteria
The Director of Community Development recently made a code interpretation regarding the
City’s definition of “Group Residential Facilities,” see Attachment A.1. This interpretation
was developed in conjunction with the City Attorney. The document shows the City’s official
interpretation of the code and indicates that immediate revision of the code is necessary to
ensure compliance with State Law. The recommended amendments, that are unanimously
supported the Planning Commission, are seeking to ensure that the city’s regulations do not
prohibit the establishment of group quarters for sexually violent predators, whi ch is a type of
“group residential facility,” because by law they cannot be prohibited. The amendments also
incorporate a Neighborhood Protection Area to protect nearby residents from these group
quarters.
The amendments before the Council, provided in the Ordinance, concern the following:
• A modification to the overall definition of “Group Residential” to reflect the Director’s
interpretation.
• A modification to the definition of “Group Residential - Class II” to reflect the Director’s
interpretation.
DEPARTMENT OF
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
MEMORANDUM
Attachment A
2
City Council Memo for June 3, 2019 Public Hearing – Zoning Code Amendment (Updated 5/24/19)
• Proposed that the code be amended to include a “Neighborhood Protection Area.”
The protection area has been established by proposing code amendments that
establish siting criteria for “Group Residential – Class II” within the Freeway Corridor
(FC) and Industrial (I) districts to ensure separation from any residential uses. Staff
has proposed that this protection area be established at 880’, which is the same
distance the State Law requires these facilities to be setback from schools. The
reader should note that there are only amendments proposed for the FC and I zoning
districts because these are the only two zoning districts in the City where Class II
facilities can be established. This still allows areas within the City to locate Class II
facilities.
CONCLUSION:
The Planning Commission finds that these revisions reflect the input received during the
public hearing. The amendments to the Group Residential Facilities – Class II code
provisions will provide locations for housing for all Bremerton’s residents. Therefore, the
Planning Commission has unanimously recommended that the City Council adopt these code
changes as proposed.

Public Hearing: Zoning Code Amendments for Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) 20.46.040 – Manufactured Homes
Ms. Satter explained that, as required by State Law, the current City code allows one manufactured home per lot and they must
be double wide, with each component at least 12’ wide by 36’ long. Manufactured homes must be new and located on
Attachment B
DRAFT
Bremerton Planning Commission Minutes
April 22, 2019 ~ Page 2 of 8
permanent foundations that are attached to the ground, and they must meet design criteria (roof pitch, siding material, etc.)
consistent with what is required of all single-family homes. The roof pitch must be greater than 3:12, and they must use the
same siding materials that are used on single-family homes.
In consideration of the existing lot sizes in Bremerton, as well as the need for more affordable housing, Ms. Satter said staff
is proposing a 9.5’ minimum width requirement for each of the components. She explained that the older lots in Bremerton
are 30-feet wide, and that is the minimum lot width in residential zones, too. With a 5 ’ setback required on each side, the
remaining buildable area is just 20’ wide. Staff’s original proposal was to reduce the width requirement for each component
from 12’ to 10’ for a total width of 20’. However, after further consideration, staff learned that the industry standard is actually
19.5’ to allow a few inches for the eves. In order to allow for the industry-sized homes of 19.5’, staff is now proposing that the
minimum width of each component be set at 9.5’, which equates to a total width minimum of 19’.
Ms. Satter briefly explained that prefabricated homes are homes that are built off site, including both manufactured and
modular homes. Manufactured homes have non-removable chassis and are approved at the factory for compliance with the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Federal code requirements. They are also reviewed by the
Department of Labor and Industries when placed on a property. Modular Homes are also built in factories, but they are built
to conform to local codes. They are transported on truck beds and do not have non-removable chassis. Ms. Satter emphasized
that the current amendment would only apply to manufactured homes.
Ms. Satter requested the Commission consider the proposed amendment, conduct a public hearing, and forward a
recommendation to the City Council. Staff’s intent is to present the Commission’s recommendation to the City Council at a
Public Hearing on June 5th. Again, she said the amendment would reduce the minimum size requirement for each section of a
double-wide manufactured home from 12’ to 9.5’.
Robert Larsen, Carnation, WA, said he supports the proposal because it will only allow new manufactured homes and no
single-wide homes will be allowed. The 3:12 roof pitch and setback requirements will make them look more like actual homes.
He recalled that in the 1970s, manufactured homes had metal siding and metal roofs, and the roofs were primarily flat. In about
1980, manufacturers started using press board siding and composition roofs. He said he would like to place a manufactured
home on a 30’ foot lot he owns in Bremerton, but it is not allowed based on the current width and setback requirements. He
commended the City staff for their willingness to address the issue. He shared examples of a variety of multi -sectional, 20’
manufactured homes, noting that they are attractive and will fit well into residential neighborhoods. He encouraged the
Commissioners to recommend approval of the proposed amendment.
Chair Tift closed the public portion of the hearing.
Vice Chair Wofford asked how the City measures the setback for eves. Ms. Satter answered that the City allows eves to
extend up to 2’ into the setback. She explained that many of the older homes were built right on the property line, which me ans
there is no longer a 5’ separation between the homes in some cases. As per code, any new structure within 5’ of an existing
structure must be constructed of a fire-rated substance. A manufactured home would not meet this requirement and would be
penalized if a neighbor’s home is placed on the property line. Reducing the width requirement to 19’ would allow manufactured
homes to fit within the building envelope.
Chair Tift asked staff to clarify the City’s code related to modular homes. Ms. Satter responded that modular homes are
allowed outright. They are typically brought to the site in multiple pieces and built to meet the purchaser’s preferences and
local code requirements. Manufactured homes have standard HUD-compliant design that does not take local standards into
consideration.
Chair Tift inquired about the difference between mobile and manufactured homes. Ms. Satter explained that mobile homes
were constructed prior to 1976 under different HUD requirements. The HUD requirements were changed in 1976 and the
newer designs were called manufactured homes.
Chair Tift asked if the City’s code allows transfer of ownership for manufactured homes. Ms. Satter answered affirmatively,
but reminded the Commission that they cannot be moved to another location in the City.

BASED ON THE STAFF REPORT AND FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS PRESENTED IN ATTACHMENT B.
COMMISSIONER DAVIS SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Public Hearing: Zoning Code Amendments for Group Residential Facilities – Class II
Ms. Satter advised that the Director of Community Development recently made a code interpretation of the de finition of
“Group Residential Facility” that requires an amendment to the City’s zoning code. Because clarity is needed right away to be
consistent with State law, the amendments are being presented to the Commission for a public hearing and recommendation
without a workshop discussion. The proposed amendments would revise the definition of “Group Residential Facility” (BMC
20.42) and add siting criteria within the Freeway Corridor (BMC 20.86.040) and Industrial (BMC 20.94.030) zones. She sa id
the Director’s interpretation will help guide the discussion.
Ms. Satter explained that, per the current code, “Group Residential” means a place of residence for persons with physical,
developmental or mental disabilities, homeless or otherwise dependent on persons, typically with shared living quarters without
separate kitchens. Group homes are intended to provide residential facilities in a home-like environment. Such homes range
from licensed establishments operated with 24-hour supervision to non-licensed facilities offering only shelter. The
classification includes group care residence for those whose permanent residence is the group residential facility, but it do es
not include transient lodging. The definition shall not be construed to include crisis care facilities, detoxification centers or
housing of Sexually Violent Predators (SVPs). Group residential facilities are categorized as follows:
• Group Residential Home means a residential home in which a person or persons provide personal care, special care,
or room and board to more than one but not more than six children and/or adults who are not related by blood or
marriage to the person or persons providing the services. These homes have 6 or fewer individuals living in one
residence and are allowed outright in all residential zones.
• Group Residential Facility – Class I (assisted living) means a group care residence for seven or more children and/or
adults who for various reasons cannot reside in their natural homes; and/or for persons who have severe chronic
disabilities or physical handicaps that cause substantial functional limitations. The facility may provide physical
therapy and training in social skills, but it does not include facilities to which persons are assigned as a result of
criminal conviction or those where residents, individually or by their legal guardians, are not free to terminate their
residency at will. This use is allowed in all zones where residential uses are allowed by a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) and outright allowed in some of the “center” zones.
• Group Residential Facility – Class II means a group care residence for juvenile delinquents, persons serving a
sentence in lieu of confinement, persons needing correctional or mental rehabilitation, or persons needing
rehabilitation and treatment for social and/or family problems, drug or alcohol addiction, or abu se. This definition
includes programs providing alternatives to imprisonment; transition back into the community including pre -release,
work-release, and probationary programs that are under the supervision of a court, state or local agency. Teaching of
work or social skills may be provided in this class facility, but it does not include drug or alcohol detoxification centers.
Residents do not have the ability to terminate residency at will. This use is only allowed in the Freeway Corridor (FC)
and Industrial (I) zones with a CUP.
Ms. Satter referred to the Director’s Interpretation 19-003, which was needed to address a conflict between the definition for
Group Residential Facilities and State law. She summarized that State law requires governments to allow secure community-
based living facilities for all people, including SVPs, but the City’s definition of “Group Residential” (BMC 20.42.040(g))
states that SVPs, as defined by Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 71.09.020(18), are not allowed. As there is no legal basis
for the City to exclude housing for SVPs from the “Group Residential” category, code changes are needed. Staff is requesting

the Commission hold a public hearing and provide a recommendation to the City Council regarding proposed changes to the
definitions to resolve this inconsistency as soon as possible.
Ms. Satter said that, as proposed, the 2nd to the last sentence in the definition for “Group Residential” would be amended to
eliminate the words, “or housing of sexually violent predators, as defined in RCW 71.09.020(18).” In addition, the following
would be added at the end of the 2nd to the last sentence in the definition for “Group Residential Facility – Class II: “and for
housing of sexually violent predators as defined in RCW 71.09.020(18).”
In addition to the proposed amendments to the definitions, Ms. Satter said staff is also proposing adding siting criteria for
Class II Group Residential Facilities. Currently, the use is only allowed in the Freeway Corridor (FC) and I ndustrial (I) zones
with a CUP, and staff is proposing additional siting criteria in both the FC and I zones to protect existing residential uses. The
proposed amendment would establish a “Neighborhood Protection Area” that requires an 880 ’ buffer from any existing
residential use, which is the same distance that State law requires to buffer these uses from schools and would not preclude the
use from locating in the City. Again, she advised that the amendment would only impact the FC and I zones, which ar e the
only zones where Class II Group Residential Facilities are allowed to locate.
Ms. Satter provided a map to illustrate where the FC and I zones are located and advised that the proposal would amend BMC
20.86.040(c) and BMC 20.94.030(c) to add the following siting criteria: “Neighborhood Protection Area: a site containing a
Class II Facility shall not be located within 880’ from any parcel containing an existing residential use, including multifam ily
and single-family units.”
Chair Tift opened the public hearing. There were no public comments, and the public portion of the hearing was closed.
Vice Chair Wofford asked if the proposed Neighborhood Protection Area would require Class II Group Residential Facilities
to locate at least 880’ away from any residential development that is in the R -10 zone that is located between the FC and I
zones. Ms. Satter said the buffer would be measured from the property line containing a residential use out 880’ and a class
II facility could not locate in this buffer. She pointed out that 880’ is approximately equal to a typical residential block or 1/6
of a mile.
Chair Tift asked if there are places to locate a Class II Group Residential Facility in the I and FC zones given the proposed
buffer requirement. Ms. Satter answered that staff analyzed the two zones to verify there would be places for the use to locate
in the I and FC zones based on existing conditions. Director Spencer pointed out that the use would also be allowed in the
Puget Sound Industrial Center – Bremerton (formerly known as the South Kitsap Industrial Area), which does not have a lot
of residential surrounding it. She cautioned against publ ishing maps to pinpoint exactly where the use could locate because
residential uses change over time. She summarized that the buffer requirement would make it challenging, but it would not
preclude the use from locating in Bremerton. She emphasized that the buffer is intended to protect residential properties and
neighborhoods.
Vice Chair Wofford asked if the Neighborhood Protection Area would apply to the residential development in the Westhill
area. Ms. Satter answered that the buffer would apply to all residential development in the City and County.
Commissioner Pedersen observed that State law requires the City to allow the use, so the buffers cannot be set so large that
the use is essentially prohibited from locating in the City. Ms. Satter agreed it requires a balancing act to allow housing for
all people while protecting the residential neighborhoods.
To clarify for Chair Tift, Director Spencer advised that the proposed amendment to this definition is consistent with her recent
Director’s Interpretation, with the addition of siting criteria. Without the code amendment, the use would be allowed to locate
anywhere in the FC and I zones without any buffer requirement and consideration for residential uses.
VICE CHAIR WOFFORD MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION RECOMMEND THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT
THE ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS TO BMC TITLE 20 AS SHOWN IN ATTACHMENT B, BASED UPON THE

Chair Tift asked if the proposed new development by Kitsap Mental Health (KMH) near the intersection of Highway 303 and
Kitsap Way would be impacted by the proposed amendments. Ms. Spencer answered that the KMH project is not a Class II
Group Residential Facility. In addition, the property was recently rezoned to General Commercial (GC), which does not permit
Class II Group Residential facilities.
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Public Workshop: Overview of 2019 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applications
Ms. Satter advised that the purpose of the workshop is to present the proposed 2019 Comprehensive Plan Amendments, review
the process and timeline, and solicit feedback and direction from the Commission. Following the workshop, staff will conduct
additional research, initiate public outreach and complete an environmental/cumulative impact review. Following this work,
the Commission will conduct a public hearing and forward a recommendation on each of the two pro posed amendments to the
City Council, who will make the final decision.
Ms. Satter reminded the Commission that, when reviewing Comprehensive Plan Amendments, they must follow the criteria
outlined in BMC 20.10.080. They must verify that all of the pro posed amendments were considered concurrently to assess
their cumulative effect onto the City and the environment . They may recommend that the City Council adopt, or adopt with
modifications, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan if it is determined that a technical error exists in the pertinent
Comprehensive Plan provisions or if all of the following criteria have been met:
• The amendment is consistent with the Washington State Growth Management Act.
• The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan or other goals and 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 services at the planned level of service
and bears a reasonable relationship to benefitting the public health, safety and welfare.
Ms. Satter advised that the City Council will make the final decision, and they can approve, deny or modify the Planning
Commission’s recommendation. However, the Commission’s recommendation will weigh heavily on their decision. She
reviewed the two amendments as follows:
• Amendment 1:
Ms. Satter advised that this amendment would modify the Land Use Element’s Multifamily Residential (MR) land use
designation description to increase the density within the district from the existing 20 dwelling units per acre to 40 dwelling
units per acre. It would also rename the MR land use designation High Density Residential (HDR). The City recently updated
the Comprehensive Plan to increase the Medium Density Residential (MDR) density from 10 dwelling units per acre (MR -10)
to 18 dwelling units per acre (MR-18), which is not a lot different than the MR land use designation of 20 dwelling units per
acre. When the change was made, staff noted that this district would be impacted and future amendments would be necessary.
Ms. Satter referred to the Staff Report, which provides a number of images, including aerial photographs, to illustrate the areas
that would be impacted by the proposed change. She summarized that there is not a lot of undeveloped land within the MR
zone that would be impacted by the proposed amendment, and she does not anticipate new development that would change the
existing neighborhood character. However, the amendment would allow more opportunity for redevelopment and some
existing development would be made conforming if the change is made.
Ms. Satter advised that the amendment would apply to five areas within the City:
1. Silvan Way and Pine Road (Willow, Ashley Garden and Blueberry Park)
2. Sylvan and Almira Drive (Viewcrest and Tamarack Apartments)
3. Shorewood Drive (Bayshore West Apartments and a few surrounding lots)
4. Anderson Cove (Port Washington Apartments)
5. Lower Wheaton Way (Seaglass Apartments)
Attachment B
DRAFT
Bremerton Planning Commission Minutes
April 22, 2019 ~ Page 6 of 8
Ms. Satter summarized that the proposed amendment would increase the density for MR from 20 units per acre to 40 units per
acre to more accurately represent the industry standard for High Density Residential and Multifamily zoning, to allow
opportunities for redevelopment, and to be similar to current densities that are already developed in these areas. The amendment
would also rename the MR land use designation to High Density Residential (HDR). She advised that, if the Commission
indicates support for Amendment 1, staff will develop Zoning Code criteria to be consistent with the density increase (i.e.
minimum lot size and minimum lot width).
Ms. Satter clarified that there are only five areas in the City that are zoned MR, and staff is not proposing to change any other
areas, nor are they proposing to expand the boundaries. The amendment would simply change the name and the density
allowed. Director Spencer added that the density proposed is reflective of the actual development that is on the ground in
each of the areas. Most are developed at the higher density than the current designation and are therefore nonconforming. The
amendment would bring more projects into compliance with the current standards.
Chair Tift pointed out that there are several parcels in Area 1 that are undeveloped or underutilized. Ms. Satter agreed and
said there are some underutilized properties in all of the areas that could be redeveloped.
• Amendment 2
Ms. Satter said this is a privately-initiated amendment to change the Land Use Map within the Comprehensive Plan for 22.5
acres off Werner Road from Industrial (I) to Low Density Residential (LDR). She explained that staff’s initial concern is that
the proposed amendment will result in a reduction of industrial lands. When industrial lands are lost, they are very difficult to
get back.
Ms. Satter advised that, when reviewing the proposed amendment, the Commission should keep in mind that the LDR land
use designation allows cemeteries, churches, parks, schools and single -family homes. Although the applicant has indicated a
particular plan for the site, he would not be bound to that plan once the zonin g is changed.
Ms. Satter provided a map to illustrate the location of the subject property. She introduced the applicant, Sterling Griffin from
Harbor Custom Homes, and the applicant’s representative, Norm Olson, N.L. Olson & Associates. She emphasize d that the
current proposal is to change the Comprehensive Plan Map . If approved, the second process would be a rezone request.
Norm Olson, N.L. Olson & Associates, used a map to point out the location of the gravel mine located at the top of Werner
Road, the large area of existing R-10 residential property (240 lots) that Mr. Griffin is currently developing, and the subject
property. He also noted the steep topography leading to the subject parcels. He said it doesn’t make sense to try to devel op
industrial on the subject property, and single-family residential would be a much better option. Regarding staff’s concern about
the loss of Industrial zoning, Mr. Olson pointed out that there is a lot of undeveloped land in the Puget Sound Industrial Center
– Bremerton, and a cross connecting road has already been constructed in this area.
Mr. Olson provided a map showing the subdivided residential lots on the adjacent parcel (R-10) as they really exist and
explained that there are both wetland and topographical barriers that provide separation between the subject property and the
Industrial zone. He provided an aerial photograph looking east and pointed out the location of the subject property, the gravel
mine, a large wetland and buffer, and the existing R-10 lots. He advised that the cliff between the subject property and the
gravel mine is more than 70’ tall, and access to the upper portion would have to come through the residential neighborhood. It
is not likely that the upper property would ever be developed as an industrial use and a residential use would be more
appropriate. In addition, the strip of Industrial zone between the residential lots and the wetland is completely separated from
the true industrial area and only accessible via residential development. He expressed his belief that residential development
would fit better in this narrow space, too.
Mr. Olson advised that utilities are already available to serve additional residential lots on the subject property, and there is a
need for additional housing in Bremerton. Some lots on the subject property would have views of the Olympic Mountains, and
others would have views of the Cascade Mountains and Puget Sound.
Chair Tift recalled that the City granted an easement to the Euland Tree Farm to permit trucks from their gravel pit to get
down into Gorst without using Northlake Way. Ms. Satter said the City traded some property, but it was further west and

closer to the City utility land. Chair Tift asked if it would be possible to access the subject property from the end of Werner
Road, through the center of the gravel pit, intersect with the Euland Tree Farm easement, and drop down into Gorst. Mr. Olsen
agreed that would be a great option, and the proposal would not prevent that from happening.
Commissioner Davis asked if the gravel mine is currently operating. Mr. Griffin, Harbor Custom Homes, said they
purchased the gravel mine at the same time t hey purchased the residential property next door. It was not in production at that
time and is still not in production. However, there is a current mining permit for the property. He also advised that a number
of large trucks are moving through the area as they excavate for Phases I and II of the adjacent residential development.
Mr. Griffin reviewed that the real estate market has seen significant growth over the last several years, and there is a well -
documented shortage of homes in both Bremerton and Kitsap County. There is a dramatic need for housing of all types and
for all levels of income. He referenced a number of articles and provided links to a variety of websites to confirm the curr ent
housing situation.
Vice Chair Wofford asked if an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been done to determine the impact of residential
development on the adjacent wetlands. Mr. Griffin said a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review would be required
if the proposed amendment moves forward. He advised that a SEPA review was done on the adjacent 240 -lot subdivision. The
wetlands have been mapped, and the buffers have been established by a wetland biologist, and that is how the boundaries of
the proposed map change were established.
Commissioner Davis asked if staff’s objection is related solely on the loss of Industrial acreage or are there other underlying
concerns. Ms. Satter said the concern is primarily related to the loss of Industrial acreage they won’t be able to replace.
Director Spencer recalled that Kitsap County was not very supportive of a previous City action that changed the land use on
just a few acres of Industrial area, and Puget Sound Regional Council has done a number of studies about the loss of industrial
lands. However, the applicant also makes some very compelling arguments about environmental challenges and topography.
At the request of Commissioner Davis, Mr. Griffin provided information about the existing and planned infrastructure that
would provide water, sewer, fiber optics, etc. to both the 240-lot residential project, as well as the subject property.
Director Spencer asked Mr. Griffin to speak about the mining reclamation project. Mr. Griffin explained that, as was made
clear when Harbor Custom Homes purchased the land, the mining property had to be reclaimed, and the Department of Natural
Resources is providing a mining plan that would require the lower property to be graded for industrial park uses. He
summarized that industrial uses make sense on the mining property, but providing access to the upper area for industrial uses
would not be practical or feasible. Director Spencer asked what will happen to the steep slopes. Mr. Griffin said he
anticipates the cliffs will be cut down some, but they will not be removed. They have purchased equipment that allows for a
more environmentally sensitive approach. At the request of Director Spencer, Mr. Olson described how the profile of the
cliff and subject property might be altered to accommodate both the reclamation project and development of the subject
property. He said he doesn’t have an exact answer at this time.
Director Spencer asked how long it would take for the applicant to put together the reclamation plan. Mr. Olson said they
don’t have a timeline in place yet. Director Spencer commented that the reclamation plan will be a big part of the City’s
consideration as the proposed amendment moves forward, since part of the applicant’s justification for the proposed amendment
is based on the huge topographic difference.
Vice Chair Wofford asked if the Commissioners could do a site visit to the residential project that is currently in progress.
Mr. Griffin said he could set up a time for them to visit the site. He noted that the development is visible from the top of
Werner Road. Chair Tift asked about the price range of the 240 homes that are currently being developed. Mr. Griffin said
that has not been decided yet, but each lot is approximately 50’ by 100’.

Director Report
Director Spencer advised that, in previous years, Vice Chair Wofford has graciously represented the Commission on the
Project Review Committee for the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) process, but he is not available to
participate this year. She explained that the committee meets each year to review the applications and make a recommendation
to the City Council. This year, the committee’s process will start on August 26 th, with an orientation meeting where the
participants will receive the applications. The committee members will have a two-week opportunity to review the applications,
and then the committee will meet again on September 16th for a scoring workshop, if needed. Interviews are scheduled to take
place September 17th and 18th. She requested that another Commissioner volunteer to fill this opportunity and said she would
send the information out via email.
