PUBLIC HEARINGS
3A – PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE NO. 5401 ADOPTING EASTSIDE VILLAGE SUB
AREA PLAN; AND REPEALING BREMERTON MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 20.92 TO
ACTIVATE THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS WITHIN THE SUBAREA PLAN: Planning
Manager Allison Satter provided a Power Point presentation to explain that the action before the
Council is to conduct a public hearing and consider amendments to the Bremerton Municipal Code
and Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the Eastside Village Sub Area Plan (formerly called the
Eastside Employment Center). With the hospital leaving, the purpose of the Subarea Plan is to
develop a future vision for the area by establishing a development plan for the project area and
create regulations to guide development, consistent with the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan.
The City desires to ensure that the Center remains an economically vital center with both jobs and
housing. With this goal, the City commissioned the preparation of a subarea plan for this area. The
plan builds on past planning efforts and economic and market analysis to describe a vision, land use
and design, and action strategies for the Center. This Center’s Subarea Plan is a comprehensive 20-
year plan that establishes the general patterns for future land use, transportation and other
infrastructure needs in the area. The purpose of this plan is to provide greater detail, guidance, and
predictability to future development within the Center. Upfront environmental review is part of the
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes

plan and will help bring about desired change and development (under a separate Ordinance).
Information on the project can be seen at www.BremertonWA.gov/EastsideCenter.
President Younger explained the purpose of this Public Hearing is to accept public comment…
With no questions or comments received, President Younger closed the hearing to the public; and
opened discussion for the Council…
5:51 Motion was made by Daugs and seconded by Goodnow… Questions and comments were

provided by Ms. Satter…
5:59 M/S/C/U (Daugs/Goodnow) Move to pass Ordinance No. 5401 to amend the Comprehensive
Plan to include the Eastside Village Subarea Plan; and repeal Chapter 20.92 of the Bremerton
Municipal Code (BMC) to activate the development regulations detailed in the Subarea Plan.
3B – PUBLIC HEARING FOR PLANNED ACTION ORDINANCE NO. 5402 FOR THE EASTSIDE
VILLAGE SUBAREA: Planning Manager Allison Satter provided a Power Point presentation to
explain that the action before the Council is to conduct a public hearing and consider public
testimony on the Planned Action Ordinance for the Eastside Village Subarea.
According to State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), a "Planned Action" is a designation for a
project or elements of a project that shifts environmental review from the time a permit application is
made to an earlier phase in the process. The planned action analysis applies to the entire study area
and addresses potential impacts and mitigating measures for each of the identified alternatives.
Under the SEPA, a planned action ordinance is a way to have an environmental review of a specific
geographic area before any permits have been filed. Projects that qualify as a planned action may
use a streamlined permitting process. Being designated a planned action is voluntary and provides
predictability and time savings for projects because planned actions do not require an additional
processing under SEPA. This reduces time and cost for projects looking to locate in the area.
President Younger explained the purpose of this Public Hearing is to accept public comment…
With no questions or comments received, President Younger closed the hearing to the public; and
opened discussion for the Council…
6:14 Motion was made by Daugs and seconded by Gorman… Questions and comments were
provided by Daugs, Gorman, Simpson, and Younger; with responses provided by Ms. Satter; Lisa
Grueter of BERK Consulting; DCD Director Andrea Spencer; Managing Engineer Shane Weber;

Ordinance for the Sheridan/Harrison Center.

7. CHANGES. The City may issue a written work change directive for any change in the
Contract work during the performance of this agreement. If the Contractor determines, for any reason,
that a change order is necessary, Contractor must submit a written change order request to the City’s
project manager within two (2) business days of the date the Contractor knew or should have known of
the facts and events giving rise to the requested change. If the City determines that the change increases
or decreases the Contractor’s costs or time for performance, the City will make an equitable
adjustment. The City will attempt, in good faith, to reach agreement with the Contractor on all equitable
adjustments. However, if the parties are unable to agree, the City will determine the equitable adjustment
as it deems appropriate. The Contractor shall proceed with the change order work upon receiving a written
work change directive or change order from the City. If the Contractor fails to require a change order
within the time allowed, the Contractor waives its right to make any claim or submit subsequent change
order requests for that portion of the contract work. If the Contractor disagrees with the equitable
adjustment the Contractor must complete the change order work; however, the Contractor may elect to
protest the adjustment as provided below:
A. Procedure and Protest by the Contractor. If the Contractor disagrees with anything
required by a work change directive or change order, including any direction,
instruction, interpretation, or determination by the City, the Contractor shall:
1. Immediately give a signed written notice of protest to the City;
2. Supplement the written protest within fourteen (14) calendar days with a
written statement that provides the following information:
a. The date of the Contract’s protest.
b. The nature and circumstances that caused the protest.
c. The provisions in this agreement that support the protest.
d. The estimated dollar cost, if any, of the protested work and how that
estimate was determined.
e. An analysis of the progress schedule showing the schedule change
or disruption if the Contractor is asserting a schedule change or
disruption.
The Contractor shall keep complete records of extra costs and time incurred
as a result of the protested work. The City shall have access to any of the
Contractor’s records needed for evaluating the protest.
3. The City will evaluate all protests, provided the procedures in this section
are followed. If the City determines that a protest is valid, the City will
adjust payment for work or time by an equitable adjustment. No adjustment
will be made for an invalid protest.
B. Contractor’s Duty to Complete Protested Work. In spite of any protest, the
Contractor shall proceed promptly with the work as the City has ordered.

September 2020
C. Contractor’s Acceptance of Changes. The Contractor accepts all requirements of
a change order by: (1) endorsing it, (2) writing a separate acceptance, or (3) not
protesting in the way this section provides. A change order that is accepted by
Contractor as provided in this section shall constitute full payment and final
settlement of all claims for contract time and for direct, indirect and consequential
costs, including costs of delays related to any work, either covered or affected by
the change.
D. Failure to Protest Constitutes Waiver. By not protesting as this section provides,
the Contractor also waives any additional entitlement and accepts from the City
any written order (including directions, instructions, interpretations, and
determination).
E. Failure to Follow Procedures Constitutes Waiver. By failing to follow the
procedures of this section, the Contractor completely waives any claims for
protested work and accepts form the City any written order (including directions,
instructions, interpretations, and determination).
8. CLAIMS. The Contractor shall give written notice to the City of all claims other than change
orders within fourteen (14) calendar days of the occurrence of the events giving rise to the claims. Any
claim for damages, additional payment for any reason, or extension of time, whether under this agreement
or otherwise, shall be conclusively deemed to have been waived by the Contractor unless a timely written
claim is made in strict accordance with the applicable provisions of this agreement; or, if (and only if) no
such provision is applicable, unless that claim is set forth in detail in writing and received by the City
within seven (7) calendar days from the date Contractor knew, or should have known, of the facts giving
rise to the claim. At a minimum, a Contractor’s written claim must include the information set forth
regarding protests in Section 7.A.2.a.-e.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE, WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM WITHIN
THE TIME ALLOWED SHALL BE AN ABSOLUTE WAIVER OF ANY CLAIMS ARISING IN ANY
WAY FROM THE FACTS OR EVENTS SURROUNDING THAT CLAIM OR CAUSED BY THAT
DELAY.
Contractor must, in any event, file any claim or bring any suit arising from or connected with this
agreement within 120 calendar days from the date the contract work is complete.
9. WARRANTY. The Contractor shall correct all defects in workmanship and materials within
one year from the date of the City’s acceptance of the Contract work. When defects are corrected, the

ALEXANDER LAKE SOUTH LEASE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1 - 1
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES
LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BREMERTON AND TOWER ASSET
SUB, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES
LEASE AGREEMENT (City of Bremerton contract number 4612) entered into October 13,
2006, is made effective as the latter signature date hereof (the "Effective Date") by and between
the City of Bremerton, a Washington municipal corporation ("City") and American Tower Asset
Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Lessee") (City and Lessee being collectively
referred to herein as the "Parties"), for the portion of the property owned by City underlying the
tower known as the Alexander Lake-South Tower, City of Bremerton Asset number 310495 (the
entire parcel of property owned by the City, the “Property”; the portion leased to Lessee, the
“Premises”), which Property and Premises are legally described and/or depicted in Exhibit A
attached hereto and incorporated herein.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City and Lessee (or its predecessor-in-interest) entered into that certain
Telecommunications Facilities Lease Agreement dated October 13, 2006 (as the same may have
been amended from time to time, collectively, the "Lease"); and
WHEREAS, the City and Lessee desire to amend the Lease to extend the term thereof and to
otherwise modify the Lease as expressly provided herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants set
forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy, and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Section 5 of the Lease, TERM OF LEASE, is deleted and replaced in its entirety as
follows:
“Lease Term Extended. The termination date of the initial term of this Lease shall be
extended from October 31, 2021, to October 31, 2026 (the “Initial Term”).
2. Section 12 of the Lease, RENEWAL APPLICATION, is deleted and replaced in its entirety
as follows:
Lessee shall have option to renew the lease for five (5) additional terms of five (5) years
each (each a “Renewal Term” and, collectively, the “Renewal Terms”). Each Renewal Term
shall automatically go into effect unless Lessee provides City with written notice of its intention
not to renew the Lease at least sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of the next Renewal
Term. Additional terms of five (5) years beyond the Renewal Terms may be requested by
Lessee under conditions in Section 12 of the Lease. Any additional term requested subsequent to
ALEXANDER LAKE SOUTH LEASE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1 - 2
each Renewal Term pursuant to this Section 12 is subject to City Council approval at their
discretion.
3. Section 10 of the Lease, COMPENSATION TO THE CITY, is deleted and replaced in its
entirety as follows:
“A. Starting on the first day of the month following the full execution of
Amendment No. 1 to the Telecommunications Facilities Lease Agreement Between the City of
Bremerton and American Tower Sub Asset, LLC (“Amendment No. 1”) and on the first day of
each month thereafter during the term of the Lease, Lessee shall pay rent at a rate of One
Thousand Eight Hundred Seven and 85/100 Dollars ($1,807.85) per month, prorated for any
partial months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City hereby acknowledges and agrees that
such increase may not be reflected in rental payments to the City until ninety (90) days after the
full execution of Amendment No. 1. Rent increases not included in payments made by the
Lessee during the first 90 days after execution of this Amendment will be paid as “back rent”
once the Lessee processes the rent increase. The back rent shall be paid not later than December
31, 2020. Substantial expansion of the initial configuration contained in Schedule A will result in
review and possible re-negotiation of the rental rate contained herein. A substantial expansion
includes but is not limited to an enlargement of the footprint of Lessee’s tower located within the
Premises (the “Tower”), the enlargement of the fenced area around the Tower, or an addition of a
building.
Commencing on November 1, 2020 and on each successive annual anniversary thereof
during the term of the Lease, the monthly rent shall automatically be adjusted with a three
percent (3%) increase.
Any payments received more than five (5) days after the due date shall include a late
payment penalty of 2% of the past due amount, and such past due amount shall bear interest at
the rate of 2% for each day or part thereof such payment remains unpaid past the due date.
B. Additional Consideration. City shall be allowed, at City’s sole expense, to
attach City’s communication antennas or equipment to Lessee’s telecommunications tower
provided City first obtains Lessee’s prior written consent for such attachments. Such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessee’s approval for said attachments shall be contingent
upon determining whether Lessee’s tower is properly engineered to accommodate City’s antenna
system and such transmission shall not result in any impairment or diminution in the quality of
Lessee’s service. Further, said approval shall be given only after Lessee has reviewed and
approved City’s engineering plans for said antenna attachments in a location specified by Lessee.
Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon written approval by Lessee, said
attachments shall be installed by qualified licensed contractors and in accordance with Lessee’s
directives for the method of installment and with permits issued by all applicable governmental
authorities having jurisdiction which shall first be obtained by City at its sole expense. City
acknowledges and agrees that Lessee reserves the right to relocate City’s antennas at any time(s)
ALEXANDER LAKE SOUTH LEASE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1 - 3
to accommodate modifications required for Lessee’s future system requirements, provided such
relocation shall provide equivalent quality of service after such relocation.
C. The Lessee shall have the right with prior City approval to sublet the premises
consistent with the terms of the Lease; provided:
i. The Lessee owns and/or controls the facility located on City property;
ii. The Lessee shall pay to the City fifty percent (50%) of any and all
sublessee rent for co-location on Lessee’s Tower.
The City encourages co-location on existing telecommunications facilities and to that end
will not unreasonably withhold any approvals required by the City.
D. One-Time Payment. In consideration of the lease extension and additional
renewal terms provided for herein, Lessee shall pay to City a one-time signing bonus of Forty-
Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000.00) within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of
Amendment No. 1, and subject to Lessee’s receipt of an original Memorandum of Lease in the
form and of the substance attached hereto as Exhibit B and by this reference made a part hereof
(the “Memorandum”) executed by City, together with any applicable forms needed to record the
Memorandum, which forms shall be supplied by Lessee to City.
4. Section 18 of the Lease, MAINTENANCE OF LEASE FACILITIES, is deleted and
replaced in its entirety as follows:
“18. Maintenance of Lease Facilities and Hazardous Substances.
A. The Lessee shall maintain its facilities in good and safe condition and in a
manner that complies with all applicable federal, state and local requirements. Lessee shall not
permit waste, damage, or injury to the premises including any City property, public ways of the
City, other ways or other property, whether publicly or privately owned, located in, on or
adjacent thereto. Lessee shall not store any chemicals, hazardous or otherwise, in the well head
protection area. Lessee shall not restrict site access to the City. City shall have the exclusive
right to inspect the Lessee’s telecommunications facilities and equipment at any time during the
term of this Lease to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions herein; Provided,
however, Lessee has the right to be present at all inspections of Lessee’s telecommunications
facilities and equipment, and City shall give Lessee at least 72 hours prior notice of such intent.
B. Lessee shall not generate, release, spill, store, deposit, transport, or dispose
of (collectively "Release") any hazardous substances, sewage, petroleum products, hydrocarbons,
radioactive substances, medicinal, bacteriological, or disease-producing substances, hazardous
materials, toxic substances or any pollutants or substances defined as hazardous or toxic in
ALEXANDER LAKE SOUTH LEASE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1 - 4
accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations ("Hazardous
Substances") in, on or about the Premises, any access and utility easements, or any other of the
City’s property in violation of any laws, regulations, ordinances, and/or administrative orders
applicable to all or any portion of the Premises which govern such Hazardous Substances
(“Environmental Laws”). Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold City harmless from any and
all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, cleanup costs, response costs, and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) actually incurred by or asserted against City, to the extent arising
directly out of or related directly to the Release by Lessee, or any of its sublessees, agents,
representatives, or employees, of such Hazardous Substances in, on or about City property in
violation of applicable Environmental Laws occurring at any time after the Effective Date of
Amendment No. 1 of the Lease. To the extent the Lessee must use generators or batteries on the
Premises, the obligations of Lessee contained in this Section shall apply to any Release of
Hazardous Substances in violation of Environmental Laws related to such use. Lessee shall
clean up and restore any property affected by a Release of Hazardous Substances in violation of
Environmental Laws caused by Lessee, including testing and abatement for any soil
contamination, and shall obtain all applicable permits to so restore such affected property, at
Lessee’s sole expense and as soon as possible but not later than seven (7) days after such
Release. This Section shall not limit Lessee’s liability as set forth in the Lease, as amended. The
provisions of this Section shall survive termination or expiration of the Lease, as amended.”
5. Subsection D of Section 27 of the Lease, LEASED CAPACITY AND CO-LOCATION, is
deleted in its entirety, as rent-sharing terms are set forth in Section 10.
6. Section 30 of the Lease, INSURANCE, is deleted and replaced in its entirety as follows:
“30. INSURANCE. The Lessee shall, as a condition of the Lease, secure and
maintain the following liability insurance policies insuring both the Lessee and the City, and its
elected and appointed officers, officials, agents, employees, representatives, engineers,
consultants, and volunteers against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which

City, and its elected and appointed officers, officials, agents, employees, representatives,
engineers, consultants, and volunteers as additional insureds, to the City prior to the
commencement of any work or installation of any facilities pursuant to said Lease. Any
deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. Payment of
deductibles and self-insured retentions shall be the sole responsibility of the Lessee. The
Lessee’s insurance shall be primary and non-contributory insurance and shall contain a waiver of
subrogation against the City for claims arising out of any operations, liabilities and obligations to
which this coverage applies. Any insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials,
employees, consultants, agents, and volunteers shall be in excess of the Lessee’s insurance and
shall not contribute with it in this regard.
The City shall be provided thirty (30) days advance notice of cancellation of any
coverages required in Section 30.A. above (the “Cancellation Notice”). Such notice shall be sent
to the City’s Risk Manager by fax at (360) 473-5161, or by certified mail, return receipt

ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT
REPORT FOR YEARS 2017, 2018, 2019
TO CITY OF BREMERTON
Prepared by Eric Stevens, KHS Executive Director
May 29, 2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report covers Animal Control data for the City of Bremerton for the past 5 from 2015 through 2019. This format shows two
distinct categories of data. Section A reports on data pertaining to KHS’ Animal Control services funded under our Animal Control
contract. Section B reports on animal welfare data from KHS’ animal shelter. Kitsap Humane Society’s animal shelter services are not
covered by the Public Records Act. However, we provide this information to add perspective on the positive impact of our overall
animal welfare services in each jurisdiction. We also hope that the 5-year longitudinal data is illuminating as well.

II. ANALYSIS/HIGHLIGHTS
• Animal Control Cases: KHS Animal Control investigated 818 animal control complaints in the City of Bremerton in 2019, an
increase of 32% over 2018 (which was down from 2017, and 75% higher than 2015. We saw increases of this size in Animal
Control cases investigated across all of Kitsap County, not just Bremerton. We believe this reflects a combination of increased
public confidence and trust in Animal Control, and a strong work ethic and efficiency from our Animal Control team.
• PDA’s issued: 8 PDA’s were issued in the City of Bremerton in 2019, a jump of 60% over 2018, and four times the number of
PDA’s issued in 2017. We believe this trend reflects thorough and effective investigations of dog aggression cases by our Animal
Control team across all jurisdictions.
• Stray animals: We saw a modest decline in stray animals for the second year in a row, with an 8% reduction in 2019. This was
consistent across all jurisdictions. We have no explanation for this drop. However, despite the decline in strays, we saw a
significant jump in the number of lost pets reclaimed by owners – which is a good thing.
• Pet licensing: We issued 1,070 licenses to owners of pets from the City of Bremerton in 2019, a 17% increase over 2018, which
was somewhat consistent with the increase in pets adopted to Bremerton residents.
III. FINANCIAL REPORT SUMMARY:
• Our overall deficit for Animal Control services in 2019 was ($79,526). The allocation shows that the City of Bremerton’s prorated
share of that deficit was ($41,199). For 2020, we negotiated higher rate increases on our Animal Control contracts with several
other jurisdictions, including Kitsap County, due to the need to hire additional staff to support the increased caseload and the
significant minimum wage hike in 2020, which pushed up wages for all our hourly employees.

SUBJECT: Study Session Date: October 14, 2020
Purchase of Light Fixtures from Graybar
Services, Inc. for Downtown LED Lighting
Improvement
COUNCIL MEETING Date: October 21, 2020
Department: PW&U
Presenter: Tom Knuckey
Phone: (360) 473-2376
SUMMARY: The blue decorative streetlights downtown were initially installed with 100W High
Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps, which are a type of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp. In 2014 the
City began converting the lights from HPS to Light Emitting Diode (LED) for improved energy
efficiency. The conversion consisted of removing the ballast in the fixtures and installing
replacement lamps. The City consulted with a vendor who recommended the replacement lamps to
install. The new LED lamps installed were initially 24W LED (150W HID equivalent), and later
upgraded at the intersections to 35W LED (175W HID equivalent). While the lumen output from the
new lamps exceeds the lumen output from the HPS lamps that were replaced, the amount of light
cast on the roadway was diminished due to the nature of how light from the new lamps reflects off
the existing fixtures. Replacement of the fixtures is necessary to restore lighting to previous levels
and is proposed to be completed over 5-years (78 in 2020, 50/year for 5 years). This initial purchase
of 78 LED fixtures will restore lighting at all pedestrian crossings to levels that exceed the lighting
from the original HPS lamps.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Proposal from Grabar Services, Inc. Updated; 2) Catalogue cut of new LED
fixture; 3) Photo of LED Lamps
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): The expenditure of $182,186$178,016 will be
from the Transportation Capital Fund. No budget adjustment is required.

CITY OF BREMERTON
CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Study Session Date: October 14, 2020
Resolution No. 3331 acknowledging the
expiration of the Rocky Point Water District
Agreement; and authorizing new water
connections in Rocky Point
COUNCIL MEETING Date: October 21, 2020
Department: PW&U
Presenter: Tom Knuckey
Phone: (360) 473-2376
SUMMARY: The City has had agreements with the Rocky Point Water District No. 12 (District) for
many years. The City owns all municipal water infrastructure within the District’s service area
(mains, meters, hydrants, etc.,) provides billing and water quality compliance sampling services, and
is responsible to collect a surcharge to be paid to the District. The District is required to reimburse
the City for billing and monitoring services rendered (last payment received was March 2019) and is
responsible for capital improvements. The most recent agreement with the District has an expiration
date of June 30, 2015. Repeated attempts to communicate with the District both prior to and since
the expiration date have been unsuccessful. On August 31, 2020 the Washington State Department
of Health (DOH) transferred the District’s service area to the City. While the District is effectively
non-existent, it remains a legal entity until formally dissolved by Kitsap County. This is problematic
for customers requesting new water connections since the terms of the expired contract require
coordination with the District which is not possible at this time. The proposed Resolution allows the
City to sell new water service connections within the former District service area, until the District is
formally dissolved.

WHEREAS, on March 16, 2020 the Washington State Department of Health

WHEREAS, on August 31, 2020 the Rocky Point Water System ceased to exist,
and its service area was fully incorporated into the City’s service area; and
WHEREAS, while the Rocky Point Water System no longer exists, the Rocky

by Kitsap County; and
WHEREAS, Section 2 of the Agreement includes financial obligations of both the
City and the District related to surcharge fees and annual billing that should remain in place until
the formal dissolution of the District; and
WHEREAS, paragraph 7(h) of the Agreement established an expiration date of
June 30, 2015 unless reviewed and extended by the parties; and
WHEREAS, the City has made numerous unsuccessful attempts to communicate
with the District since at least 2014 to update the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, paragraph 5(b) and 5(e) of the Agreement require potential
customers requesting new water connections to pay the District a front footage fee and obtain a
written Authorization to Connect from the District before the City may collect fees and charges
and connect the new customer to the Water System; and
WHEREAS, potential customers in the Rocky Point area are unable to pay the
front footage fee to the District and obtain the Authorization to Connect since the District is
effectively non-existent resulting in the inability of the City to sell water service; and
Expiration of City / Rocky Point Water Service Agreement – Resolution
WHEREAS, the former Rocky Point Water System is now part of City Water
System and the City desires to provide potential new customers water service within the former
Rocky Point Service area; now therefore

authorized to establish procedures necessary to provide water service to customers within the

Re: Comprehensive Plan Amendment & Associated Zoning Code Changes
The Planning Commission and Staff are pleased to present the proposed 2020
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket for Council consideration. State and City statutes,
including the Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC), allow the Comprehensive Plan to be
amended a maximum of once per year. The 2020 Docket includes one city-initiated
amendment to establish a citywide minimum density of 6 dwelling units per acre.
In addition to the Comprehensive Plan annual amendments, the City is also proposing to
modify the Zoning Code concurrently. State law requires that there be consistency between
these two documents. Because of the interrelatedness of the issue, the public hearing is
combined, but the City Council has to take action to adopt two separate ordinances to
amend the two different documents. The ordinance amending the City’s Comprehensive
Plan must be passed prior to the ordinance amending the Zoning Code.

EXECTUIVE SUMMARY
Why is the City proposing this amendment?
In mid-2019, recognizing the urgent need for solutions to the worsening housing crisis,
Governor Jay Inslee signed House Bill 1923 into law. The law contains a menu of
incentivized recommendations for municipalities and jurisdictions that aim to increase
the supply of residential housing. The City of Bremerton applied for grant money
through this law and committed to three of the bill’s recommendations. One of these
recommendations was to amend the citywide minimum density to 6 dwelling units per
acre. This amendment would establish a minimum density. The minimum is the “floor”
(or minimum) density citywide that new development would have to develop to. Instead
DEPARTMENT OF
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
MEMORANDUM
Page 2
of the current 5 dwelling units per acre, which has a minimum lot size of 8,712 square
feet, the proposed amendments are to establish the minimum density at 6 dwelling units
per acre which is a minimum lot size of 7,260 square feet. The maximum density is not
proposed to be changed with this amendment.
In January of this year, the City held a workshop with the Planning Commission to
discuss this proposed change, which requires an amendment to the City’s
Comprehensive Plan. The Commission requested that the City, in addition to studying
the proposed amendment, study a further amendment to the minimum density of 7
dwelling units per acre. While the City conducted review of this proposal, due to public
concern for density increases, it was decided to pursue 6 dwelling unit per acre for the
final amendment.
The City has completed the preliminary analysis of the City’s Buildable Lands Review,
which catalogs development and potential within the City. From this, we can determine
that the current average subdivision density developed within the City is 10.05 dwelling
unit per acre – well above the proposed minimum of 6 dwelling unit per acre .
Also, through the Buildable Lands Review, we identified that some subdivisions
appeared to have developed at less than 5 or 6 dwelling units per acre due to the City’s
standard provision that one lot within a subdivision can be larger than the minimum lot
size identified. This provision is not proposed to change as it allows existing
development, such as a house, to be placed on a larger lot provided all other lots meet
the density requirements. This larger lot can be further subdivided later.
Example – I have a 1-acre lot with a house, in the R-10 zone, which has a
density of minimum 5 dwelling unit per acre and a maximum of 10 dwelling unit
per acre, thus to meet density, the subdivision should be a minimum of 5 to 10
lots on the 1-acre parcel. However, due to the existing provision to recognize
existing development, one lot can be larger than the minimum. As shown in the
image below, New Lot A, B, and C are new and must meet the minimum and
maximum density. The lot with the existing house (Lot D), can be larger as it is
shown below. Lot D is about 0.5 acres and that is allowed per current code and
is not
proposed
to change.
New Lot A
New Lot B
New Lot C Lot D (one lot can be larger)
Page 3
This proposed amendment to establish a minimum density of 6 dwelling unit per acre is
important for the City to consider as the City has a scare resource of undeveloped and
underutilized land. To adopt code to establish a minimum density of 6 dwelling unit per
acre, instead of current 5 dwelling unit per acre, will increase the City’s assurances that
we can provide opportunity for housing for our population growth. If this proposed
amendment was adopted, it is consistent with the current development pattern.
In addition, this proposed amendment is consistent with the City Infill Toolkit which
proposes options to promote infill development throughout the City. If this amendment
passed, for lots that can be subdivided within the existing City neighborhoods would be
required to develop to a minimum 6 dwelling unit per acre instead of the current 5
dwelling unit per acre. For lots that are only subdividing one lot to 2 or 3 lots, this new
code would not likely be impacted (as the density they can subdivided at would be more
impacted by the maximum density requirement and not the minimum density
requirement. Again, there is no change proposed to the maximum density requirement
at this time.
WHAT DISTRICTS OR ZONES WOULD THIS IMPACT?
This proposal is to establish a citywide minimum density of no less than 6 dwelling units
per acre. Any district or zone in the City of Bremerton that had a current minimum
density less than 6 dwelling units, the City is proposing to amend through theses
ordinances. The following is a summary of the districts or zones proposed to be
amended:
• Comprehensive Plan – Low Density Residential district from 5 to 6 dwelling units
per acre,
• Downtown Subarea Plan – Multi-family (1 + 2) zone and One-and-Two-Family
Residential (R-20) zone, both from 5 to 6 dwelling units per acre
• Zoning Code (Bremer ton Municipal Code Title 20) – Low Density Residential (R-
10), and Medium Density Residential (R-18) zone, both from 5 to 6 dwelling units
per acre.
PUBLIC INPUT
Overall, little public response to the proposed amendment has been received, reflecting
the minor status of this change. The City has received one specific comment opposing
this amendment, and one comment that is generally supportive of greater residential
densities (this comment also contains several other unrelated comments/suggestions to
this topic). Both comments can be found in their entirety as part of Attachment 1.
OVERALL IMPACT
The impact of this change is expected to be minor. This change will only affect new
development and subdivisions (existing homes on larger lots will not be required to
change). For new subdivisions, the maximum square footage of created lots must be
7,260 square feet or less, with the exception that one lot in a subdivision may be larger
as long as the overall density is met. It is important to note that the City has not received
Page 4
an application for a subdivision that would not comply with the proposed minimum lot
size, and the majority of new development already subdivides at a density equal to or
higher than the new proposed minimum.
CONCLUSION:
The City and Planning Commission have reviewed the proposed amendments, and
compliance with the City’s Code requirements for Comprehensive Plan, Subarea Plan,
and Zoning Code Amendments. The amendments meet the decision criteria set forth in
the BMC and supports the infill toolkit in the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning
Commission unanimously recommended the proposed amendments to Council as
proposed in these ordinances.

Date:Monday, January 27, 2020 4:34:05 PM
Allison,
The only zoning amendment being considered this year, if I am reading this correctly, is one
originated by the City to increase zoning density from five units per acre to six units per acre in
several zoning areas because of the passage of E2SHB1923 in July 2019. As noted, this bill does not
mandate any action on the part of the City. That being the case, I am opposed to this change as it is
not mandated and there is no evidence put forth that it mitigates affordable or deeply affordable
housing in any fashion. To increase density for additional housing at market rates only contributes
to an increase in lack of affordable housing, crowding, and disruption of peaceful neighborhood
communities. If this change mandated an amendment that would increase the number of
affordable/deeply affordable residences in the City, that would be seen as an effort on the part of
the City to being taking positive action to resolve homelessness. I encourage the City to focus on
actions that will do that.
Thanks,
Diane Manning

PUBLIC MEETING
Call to the Public (public comments on any item not on the agenda)
Chair Wofford asked if there were any comments from citizens.
Roy Runyon, Bremerton, advised that Bremerton is a 1st Class City, which means that citizens retain the right of initiative
and can create legislation if the City Council is unable or unwilling to act. He reported that he recently drafted a new initiative
related to accessory dwelling units (ADUs). He recalled that the City Council did not adopt the changes recommended by the
Planning Commission to make the ADU regulations less restrictive, and he doesn’t think it is appropriate to wait any longer.
Attachment 2 to Staff Memo

Bremerton Planning Commission Minutes
September 21, 2020 ~ Page 2 of 7
He referred to the Comprehensive Plan amendments that will be the subject of the Commission’s public hearing, which talk
about the availability of affordable housing and changing the density. He stressed that the changes won’t be meaningful without
also amending the ADU ordinance to make it less restrictive. He outlined the items included in his proposed initiative as
follows:
• Eliminate all of the design criteria for ADUs. He questioned why there should be a more restrictive standard for
ADUs compared to single-family residential construction.
• Allow more than one ADU per lot. There should be a formula that allows people with large lots to develop multiple
ADUs with a minimum square foot requirement. For example, an additional ADU could be allowed for each 4,350
square feet of property, keeping in mind the setback requirements, etc.
Mr. Runyon said he will closely monitor the Planning Commission and City Council discussions and actions related to ADUs
going forward, and will modify his initiative accordingly. He said he is prepared to take the proposal to the people for a vote.
It is time to make the appropriate code changes to get more affordable housing in the City. Currently, there are only two new
ADUs created each year in the City. With the initiative, he is hopeful there will be 20 new ADUs per year. Talking about
affordable housing is only effective if appropriate code changes are made to enable private property owners to develop ADUs
on their properties.
Chair Wofford closed the public portion of the meeting.
Public Hearing: Comprehensive Plan Amendments for the 2020 Docket, Related to Establishing a Minimum Density
Threshold
Ms. Satter advised that the Planning Commission is being asked to hold a public hearing and provide a recommendation to the
City Council. She reviewed that the Commission held a workshop in January to discuss the amendments. Since that time, staff
has conducted the environmental review and completed agency and public outreach. Following the Planning Commission’s
recommendation, the City Council will conduct a public hearing (tentatively scheduled for October 21st) and make the final
decision.
Ms. Satter advised that the proposal before the Commission includes both a Comprehensive Plan amendment and an associated
Zoning Code amendment to implement the Comprehensive Plan amendment. She explained that the Comprehensive Plan is a
blueprint document that establishes the vision, goals and policies for how the City will grow in the next 20+ years. With the
exception of subarea plans, the Comprehensive Plan can only be amended once a year. The Zoning Code implements the
vision, goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan through the development standards and design guidelines in Bremerton
Municipal Code (BMC) Title 20. It addresses standards such as height, setbacks, lot coverage, etc. There is no limit on how
often the Zoning Code can be amended.
Ms. Satter reminded the Commissioners of the approval criteria that must be considered when reviewing Comprehensive Plan
amendments:
• Is it compliant with the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) and other City plans and documents?
• Is it compatible with the existing and planned development patterns?
• Will it not negatively affect the City’s ability to provide urban services?
• Will the proposed changes bear a reasonable relationship to benefiting the public health, safety and welfare?
Ms. Satter also reminded the Commissioners of the approval criteria that must be considered when reviewing Zoning Code
amendments:
• Is it compliant with other City, State and Federal Codes, regulations, and ordinances?
• Is it consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan? If a Comprehensive Plan amendment is
required, approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment must occur prior to or concurrently with the Zoning Code
amendment. They must be consistent.

Bremerton Planning Commission Minutes
September 21, 2020 ~ Page 3 of 7
Ms. Satter advised that the proposed amendment would change the minimum residential density citywide from 5 dwelling
units per acre (du/ac ) to 6 du/ac. Following the January workshop, the Commission asked staff to analyze if 7 du/ac would be
appropriate. However, based on public feedback, staff is only proposing to increase the minimum to 6 du/ac. She reviewed
that the Washington State Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 1923 in 2019, which encourages cities to increase opportunities
for more residential capacity. The bill offered a menu of options to increase the supply of affordable housing. The City
reviewed these options and agreed to consider the following three:
• Establish a minimum density of 6 du/ac. (subject of September 21 public hearing)
• Amend the ADU regulations. (subject of October 19 Commission public hearing)
• Amend the Zoning Code to address cluster housing and cottages. (briefing scheduled for early 2021)
Ms. Satter pointed out that the minimum density option requires both a Comprehensive Plan amendment and a Zoning Code
amendment, whereas the other two initiatives under HB 1923 only require a Zoning Code amendment.
Ms. Satter advised that the amendment would apply to new development in the Low-Density and Medium-Density Residential
zones, as well as four zones in the Downtown Subarea Plan (Downtown Multifamily Residential 1 and 2 and Downtown 1 and
2 Family Residential). As proposed, the Comprehensive Plan would be amended to change the minimum density in these zones
from 5 du/ac to 6 du/ac. The Zoning Code would also be amended to change the minimum density from 5 du/ac to 6 du/ac.
The maximum lot area would also be changed from 7,712 to 7,260 square feet.
Ms. Satter shared examples to show how a 1- acre parcel could be developed based on the current 5 du/ac per acre versus the
proposed 6 du/ac. She also shared an example of a recently-approved subdivision with a density of 7 du/ac. She provided
examples of existing development in the City to illustrate what development at 6 du/ac might look like:
• Dibb Street between Robin Avenue and Eagle. The property was developed at 6 du/ac and the average lot size is
7,114 square feet.
• 8th Street between Olympic Avenue and Rainier Avenue. The property was developed at 10 du/ac and the average lot
size is 4,350 square feet.
• Dockside on Osprey Circle between Cormorant and Widegon Court. The property was developed at 5 du/ac and the
average lot size is 8,700 square feet.
Ms. Satter shared examples of recent development in Bremerton, noting that very few plats were subdivided at the minimum
density. The range was between 7 du/ac and 13 du/ac. She summarized that, as per the Buildable Lands Review, projects in
Bremerton are currently subdividing at an average of 10 du/ac citywide, so this change to the minimum will not likely affect
development.
Ms. Satter emphasized that the amendment s would not require existing lots and homes to squeeze in extra units. They would
only impact future subdivisions and development. The proposal would change the minimum density, but the maximum density
would remain the same, and there would be no changes to the zoning maps, either.
Ms. Satter reported that two public comments were received. One expressed opposition to the amendment and the other was
generally supportive of increasing residential density but had other ideas for the Commission to consider.
Chair Wofford opened the hearing for public comments.
Roy Runyon, Bremerton, said he supports the proposed amendment. However, he suggested that, if they want to encourage
increased density, the Commission should also look at other development regulations that drive up the cost of development,
such as impact fees. If the cost of development is higher in Bremerton than in unincorporated Kitsap County, then the City is
losing out and is not meeting the intent of the GMA. He asked the Commission to consider what changes it can recommend to
the City Council to make residential development in the City more affordable. While the proposed amendment is a step in the
right direction, they also need to consider other practical changes that will make it easier for developers to increase density.
Chair Wofford said the Commission seeks input from time to time about what can be done to make development easier and
more feasible for contractors. Director Spencer pointed out that while there are general facility charges to hook up to the
Attachment 2 to Staff Memo
DRAFT
Bremerton Planning Commission Minutes
September 21, 2020 ~ Page 4 of 7
water and sewer systems, the City of Bremerton hasn’t adopted any impact fee ordinances. On the other hand, Kitsap County,
Port Orchard and Poulsbo have all adopted transportation impact fee ordinances.
Kevin Walthall, Bremerton, voiced support for the proposed amendments. However, he asked if they would hold any
implication for duplexes to meet the minimum requirement. He also asked if the amendments would alter the setback
requirement in single-family and multi-family residential zones. If not, he could see the setback requirements becoming a
stumbling block for developers. He voiced his support for allowing duplexes, which would help developers meet the minimum
requirement. Ms. Satter pointed out that the maximum density requirement actually has more impact on duplex development
than the minimum density requirement, since the goal is usually to fit more units on a lot. Because the amendments would
only apply in the low-density and medium-density residential zones, it is likely that developers will choose to construct single-
family homes rather than duplexes. She said the amendments would not reduce the setback requirement, since developers are
successfully developing at 8 and more du/ac and can still meet the current setbacks.
Chair Wofford closed the public portion of the hearing.
Vice Chair Tift referred to the public comment, which indicated support for the proposed amendment but wanted the minimum
density to be mandated. He asked if that was practical. Ms. Satter answered that, once adopted, the amendment would
establish a minimum of 6 du/ac for all new subdivisions, and it would become a mandate. The only exception would be if a
property owner wants to retain one larger lot where his/her home is located. While the entire property might not meet the
minimum density requirement at the time of subdivision, the property where the house is located would be subdivided at a later
date to meet the requirement. That provision would not change, recognizing that Bremerton has a lot of existing development
and people have a desire to keep their one house and subdivide the rest of the lot they aren’t utilizing.
Vice Chair Tift asked if developers have indicated support for the proposed amendment. Ms. Satter said the proposal was
sent to the Kitsap Building Association and the real estate group, but they have been silent on the matter since most developers
are already developing at a higher rate.
COMMISSIONER COUGHLIN MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
ADOPT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING CODE AS
DETAILED IN THE STAFF REPORT AND ATTACHMENTS AND BASED UPON THE FINDINGS AND
CONCLUSIONS INCLUDED IN ATTACHMENT D. COMMISSIONER PEDERSEN SECONDED THE MOTION,
WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Public Workshop: Discussion of Amendments for the Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Periodic Update
Mr. Jackson introduced Dan Nickel and Alex Capron, from the Watershed Company, the consultants hired to assist the
department with the Shoreline Master Plan (SMP) update. He explained that this is a workshop for discussion and education
purposes, and no formal decisions will be made at this time. It is anticipated that the project will be completed in mid-2021,
and updates will be provided to the Commission over the next several months.
Mr. Jackson explained that the SMP is a set of state-required policies and regulations that are intended to protect state
shorelines, promote public access to the shorelines, and ensure that uses that need to be located on the shoreline have priority.
In addition to updating the SMP, the City will also update its Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) for consistency with the SMP
and other limited changes.
Mr. Jackson advised that the SMP applies to “Shorelines of the State,” which are waterbodies that meet certain criteria. The
shoreline jurisdiction is generally areas that are located within 200 feet of a high-tide line, some larger lakes and streams and
other exceptions. Examples of those in Bremerton include Lake Kitsap, portions of the Union River and Gorst Creek, and all
marine waters. He shared an example of a shoreline designation map, noting that the colored lines follow waters that are
regulated by the SMP. Each of the colors represents a different shoreline designation and they correspond closely with the
zoning map designations. For example, the Low-Density Residential Zone has a Single-Family Residential Shoreline
Designation. He explained that the shoreline designations were assigned based on an analysis in the Inventory Characterization
Report. The report was done in 2013 and took a snapshot of existing development on Bremerton shorelines and identified
shoreline resources they wanted keep. For example, the area located south of Gorst was designated as Urban Conservancy
Attachment 2 to Staff Memo

September 21, 2020 ~ Page 5 of 7
because it is an environmentally-sensitive area they want to preserve, and the area around the shipyard was designated as
Industrial based on existing development. Areas that are waterward of the high-tide mark were designated as Aquatic.
Mr. Jackson explained that the state requires jurisdictions to update their SMPs every eight years to ensure they are compliant
with current state laws and changes in local plans and regulations and to incorporate new or improved data and information.
The periodic update will not re-evaluate the ecological baseline, which was established as part of the 2013 comprehensive
update that is used to determine no net loss. The ecological baseline is a snapshot inventory that established what the City’s
shorelines currently look like. It identified the ecological situation, the areas that were degradated, and the areas that had
environmental resources. One of the main goals of the SMP is to assure no net loss of the 2013 baseline.
Mr. Jackson referred to the Gap Analysis Report (Attachment A), which was prepared by the Watershed Company and points
out areas that the City has to improve upon in order to be compliant with the update process. He explained that staff will
propose a number of amendments as part of the proposed update, and a full draft of the proposed amendments will be presented
at a future workshop. He shared examples of the anticipated amendments to both the SMP and CAO as follows:
SMP Amendments
• Definitions. This section will be amended to be consistent with the state. For example, an updated definition for
“floating residences” will be included. In addition, some definitions that are located in the nonconforming section of
the SMP will be moved to the definition section of the SMP.
• Exemptions. The exemptions for Shoreline Substantial Development Permits will be updated to be consistent with
what is available from the state.
• Applicability. A statement will be added to clarify that the SMP doesn’t apply to federal lands. Currently, there is
no statement that the shipyard is not part of the SMP.
• Restoration Projects. Some of the dimensional standards for restoration projects will be updated.
• Nonconforming Structures. The amendments will look at the applicability of the code as it pertains to certain
structures and the proportionality of mitigation required in some of those cases. For example, is the amount of
mitigation required for a small addition proportional to the expansion?
• Shoreline Buffer Reduction Options. They are looking at minor revisions to this section to clarify buffer averaging
provisions and to ensure that no net loss is achieved. Currently, the buffer averaging calculations are complicated,
and the goal is to make them simpler.
• New Sheridan/Harrison Center Subarea Plan. Amendments will align the SMP with the new subarea plan that
was recently adopted.
• Vegetation Management Plan Allowances. Portions of this section will be updated to provide relief for single-
family property owners. The plan is required with any new shoreline development. It provides a snapshot of existing
vegetation and describes how a developer will mitigate and add native vegetation to buffer areas.
• Consolidation. All of the SMP policies will be consolidated into one chapter. Currently, they are scattered throughout
the document, and it would read much more clearly if they were located in one section.
• Climate Resiliency. Proposed language would be added for climate resiliency. As the department learns more about
the ongoing effects of the global climate, it is important to ensure that the knowledge is represented in the
environmental documents.
• Minor Mapping Changes. Minor updates to the Shoreline Environment Designations will be made to reflect new
information and improve consistency with zoning.
Attachment 2 to Staff Memo

September 21, 2020 ~ Page 6 of 7
CAO Amendments
• Wetland Buffers. The existing buffer requirements for wetlands will be clarified to be consistent with the Department
of Ecology (DOE) guidelines.
• Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas. Other minor amendments will be made to provide flexibility within
Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas.
Mr. Jackson announced that an online tool will be launched on October 1st to orient the public to the SMP update process. A
full draft of the proposed amendments will be presented at a Planning Commission workshop on October 19th. The state has
some specific requirements for the City to accomplish, one being a shared public comment period and shared public hearing.
The joint public comment period will occur in November, and the joint public hearing is scheduled for November 16th. It is
anticipated that the draft update will be presented to the DOE for an initial determination of compliance with DOE standards
in January of 2021, and the Planning Commission review and recommendation, if necessary, will occur in February 2021.
Local adoption will likely occur in Spring 2021. He emphasized that all of the dates are tentative at this time, and staff will
take as much time as needed with the Commission and public to work through the process.
Mr. Jackson said that the online open house that will launch on October 1st is one way to engage the public and ensure they
are involved in the SMP update process. It will review background information and project timelines so the public can
understand the issues that are being addressed and provide comments. It will also provide an opportunity for the public to sign
up to be notified of future actions on the update.
Roy Runyon, Bremerton, asked how many individual property owners/developers have been impacted by the current SMP
and what their costs have been. He noted language regarding flexibility and minimizing the impact of the SMP and said he
would be interested to see what that information shows. He recommended that this data be presented to the Commission, City
Council and public for background.
Sue Plahn, Bremerton, asked if the slide set from the staff’s presentation could be made available to the public. Ms. Satter
answered that it would be sent to all of the property owners who received notification of the workshop.
Vice Chair Tift asked if the Vegetation Management Plan applies in the event that the shoreline is damaged during
construction. Mr. Jackson answered that the Vegetation Management Plan is intended to repopulate the buffer areas as
mitigation for the development and not just those areas disturbed during construction. It identifies how much of the buffer area
should be populated with native vegetation and trees.
Commissioner Mosiman recognized that the presentation was intended to be just an overview. However, as they get into
more detail at future meetings, he would like clarification on the following:
• Attachment A, Page 6, Item e, which talks about the difference between timber harvesting and timber cutting. It would
be helpful to have a map showing where timber harvesting might take place within the City.
• Attachment A, Page 23, Item 9, which references a specific Washington Administrative Code (WAC) provision
regarding public access requirements. It would be helpful for the Commission to see the actual WAC language to
know what is being referenced. Years ago, a map was provided to show where public access was located within the
City of Bremerton. If they are considering changes to public access, it would be helpful to have that map to provide
some reference about what changes would take place and where.
• Attachment A, Page 24, Item 12, which has to do with climate change resiliency as it relates to bulkheads. Bulkheads
are important in marine environments, and they have an impact on the upland of property owners. It would be helpful
to have clarification on the City’s policies relevant to sea level rise.
• Attachment A, Page 24, Item 14, which has to do with the portionality and scale of development. Would a developer
be required to provide an entire buffer with native plants? Are you changing the residential permitting requirements
to be simpler? He supports simplicity but without losing the ability to make the kinds of changes and impacts the City
wants to see for the environment.

Commissioner Mosiman asked if the tribes have been informed that the City is in the process of updating its SMP. He would
be curious to know what their interest might be.
Commissioner Pederson referred to Attachment A, Page 24, Item 12 and said he is also curious about the City’s policies
relevant to sea level rise. Olympia’s 2019 Sea Level Rise Plan is referenced, and he is interested in learning more about what
that plan entails. He asked staff to provide a link to the plan prior to the next workshop. Ms. Satter said staff is working on
climate resiliency documents, and other documents related to this effort have also been prepared. Information will be sent to
the Planning Commission soon about a recent Kitsap County study related to sea level rise.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE
CITY OF BREMERTON PLANNING COMMISSION
2020 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment and associated Subarea Plan and Zoning Code
changes
I. FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Project Description: Comprehensive Plan Annual Docket for 2020.
The City adopted an updated Comprehensive Plan in June 2016. Comprehensive Plan
amendments are processed on an annual cycle to allow for changes to the Plan that
reflect conditions that may not have been addressed prior or since the Plan’s adoption.
Amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code are regulated by BMC
20.10: Comprehensive Plan Amendments and 20.18: Text Amendments. The Planning
Commission is considering one city-initiated proposal for the 2020 docket. The
amendment can be summarized as amending the minimum residential housing density
citywide from the current 5 dwelling units per acre (du/a) to 6 du/a. The Planning
Commission also considered amending the minimum to 7 du/a, but it was decided to
pursue the State recommendation of 6 du/a for the final amendment.
2. Procedural History:
2.1 The Bremerton Municipal Code allows applications for Comprehensive Plan
Amendments annually between August 1 and November 15th.
2.2 On January 27, 2020 the Planning Commission held an informal public workshop
to introduce the 2020 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket and
associated zoning code changes.
2.3 On June 5, 2020 staff notified the Washington State Department of Commerce
the intent to adopt an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
2.4 On June 5, 2020 staff published the SEPA Determination of Non-significance in
the Kitsap Sun and sent out notice to agencies, jurisdictions, and interested
parties.
2.5 On September 11, 2020 a notice of Planning Commission public hearing was
published in the Kitsap Sun and the public was invited to comment.
2.6 On September 21, 2020 Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the
2020 Comprehensive Plan docket and associated Zoning Code changes.

the proposed amendments to Council for their consideration.
Exhibit A to Comp Plan Ord
3. Public Comment:
3.1 One individual provided testimony and provided a written comment to the Planning
Commission:
• D. Manning opposes this amendment, citing that the amendment does not
mandate any action on the City’s part. They also argue that increasing density
will create more housing at market rates will contribute to affordable housing
problems. They conclude by encouraging the City to focus on options that
mandate affordable housing in the City.
3.2 An additional written comment was received by Kitsap Property Alliance
Organization (KAPO) who is generally supportive of the City increasing
opportunities for more housing, and provided other ideas not applicable to this
topic.
3.3 Individuals providing verbal testimony at Planning Commission’s Public Hearing
testimony:
a. R. Runyon
b. K. Walthall
4. SEPA Determination:
4.1 A Determination of Non-Significance was issued on June 5, 2020, with a
comment deadline of June 19. No appeals have been filed.
5. Consistency:
Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan shall meet the decision criteria outlined in BMC
20.10.080. The Planning Commission may recommend, and the City Council may adopt
or adopt with modifications, amendments to the comprehensive plan if the criteria
outlined below are met.
5.2 BMC 20.10.080(a) technical error. This criterion allows amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan if there is an obvious technical error in the pertinent
comprehensive plan provisions. This criterion is not applicable to the current
proposals.
5.3 BMC 20.10.080(b)(1) the amendment is consistent with the Growth
Management Act.
The amendments have been evaluated with the goals and policies of the Growth
Management Act (GMA) and has been found to be consistent with the Act. The
GMA requires that development is encouraged in urban areas where services
already exist. Increasing the residential density helps to further that goal. The
amendment has also been formulated to be consistent with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan, which was created to achieve the goals of the GMA.
Exhibit A to Comp Plan Ord
5.4 BMC 20.10.080(b)(2) the amendment is consistent with the
comprehensive plan or other goals or policies of the City.
The amendment continues to uphold the objectives, goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan such as:
o Policy LU1(B): Coordinate Bremerton’s growth consistent with the Kitsap
Countywide Planning Policies and the Puget Sound Regional Council’s Vision
2040, and state requirements.
o Policy LU4(C): Provide land use regulations that give opportunities for the
community to have fair access to livelihood, education, and resources.
o Policy LU4(D): On an annual basis review and provide amendments, if
necessary, to the goals and policies and the Land Use Map to address
changing circumstances and/or emergencies.
o Housing Vision: To encourage the growth of Bremerton by strategically
locating a wide variety of housing types throughout the City in a way that
protects the environment and fosters community health.
o Housing Goal H2: Encourage the development of a variety of new housing
options and
densities to meet the changing needs of Bremerton’s residents.
o Policy H2(C): Supporting infill development and increased densities and the
use of Low Impact Development (LID) techniques and Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to ensure efficient and cost-effective utilization of existing
public utilities.
o Housing Goal H3: Support access to quality and affordable housing for all
Bremerton residents.
o Policy H3(A): Provide opportunities for the production of new housing for all
incomes, ages, and family types through infill by stimulating growth of non-
traditional housing types such as townhomes, carriage units, accessory
dwelling units, and duplexes in locations where they will seamlessly infill into
the fabric of the existing neighborhoods.
o Policy H3(E): Eliminate unnecessary regulatory impediments to the
development of affordable housing.
o Goal H4: Implement and coordinate strategies that promote public and
private efforts to facilitate improvements to the housing stock.
o Policy H4(F): Promote increased housing density to provide a broader
customer base for more affordable public services including utilities.
5.5 BMC 20.10.080(b)(3) if the amendment was reviewed but not adopted
as part of a previous proposal, circumstances related to the proposed
amendment have significantly changed, or the needs of the City have
changed, which support an amendment.
The proposed amendment is not part of a previous proposals. However, the City
is currently experiencing an affordability crisis in housing partially caused by a
general lack of housing units. This amendment aims to help the city meet its
need to increase the availability of housing opportunities.
Exhibit A to Comp Plan Ord
5.6 BMC 20.10.080(b)(4) The amendment is compatible with existing or
planned land uses and the surrounding development pattern.
The amendment is compatible with existing land uses and the surrounding
development pattern. The increase in density is an incremental one, and many
past and present developments in the City already meet or surpass this density.
5.7 BMC 20.10.080(b)(5) The amendment will not adversely affect the
City’s ability to provide urban services at the planned level of service
and bears a reasonable relationship to benefitting the public health,
safety and welfare.
The amendment will not affect the City’s ability to provide urban services, though
it will benefit the public health, safety and welfare by allowing greater
development opportunities within existing neighborhoods.
5.8 Consistency with the Zoning Code
Amendments to the Zoning Code Shall meet the criteria in BMC 20.18.020 and
specifically subsection (d) and (e) that states that a text amendment may be
approved if it is found that it is consistent with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan and it does not conflict with other City, state and federal
codes, regulations and ordinances. In addition, it states that, if a Comprehensive
Plan amendment is occurring, approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment is
required prior to or concurrently with the granting of the text amendment. The
Planning Commission also reviewed proposed Zoning Code text amendments and
Subarea Plan concurrently with the Comprehensive Plan amendments to ensure
that they do not conflict with other City, state and federal codes, regulations
and/or ordinances.
II.CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Based on the findings above, the Planning Commission concludes that the 2020
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket, and its associated Zoning Code and Subarea Plan
amendments, have met the requirements in Bremerton Municipal Code, and therefore
recommends approval by the City Council.

Element 2
Land Use
Designation: Low Density Residential
LDR (Low Density Residential)
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 6 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.
LU1-LDR(B): Use front yard averaging to encourage residential infill that is consistent with the existing
neighborhood’s built environment.
LU1-LDR(C): Allow accessory units associated with, and subordinate to, existing or new single family
dwellings when appropriate.
LU1-LDR(D): Allow a variety of small residential development in the LDR as infill development including

Subject: FW: Comments on Proposed Ordinance 5403 Amending the City Comprehensive Plan
Thank you Diane for your comments related to the Public Hearing being held tonight for the
Comprehensive Plan 2020 Amendment. I have included City Council so they can add it to the record and
for the Council’s consideration.
A few points I would like to bring up to our comments related to tonight’s presentation:
This will not impact existing developed lots (your lot can remain as is). This proposal will only
impact those that want to subdivide their property.
Lot Coverage. Lot coverage is not proposed to change with this code. The residential zones that
this impacts (the Low and Medium Residential Density zones) have a 60% lot coverage that they
are allowed to do (60% of their lot can covered by things like their house, garage, driveway,
paved areas, etc.). That means 40% of their lot shall remain not paved and/or
landscaping/grass. This standard will remain even if the proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendment is adopted.
Also setbacks will remain unchanged. They have to construct their house and needed parking
on the lot with meeting lot coverage and setback requirements.
The proposal is for a minimum density (of 6 dwelling units per acre instead of 5), and the City’s
recent permitting for subdividing property is at a higher rate than the current or proposed
minimum density of less than 6 dwelling units per acre (the average density that is currently
being permitted throughout the City is around 10 dwelling units per acre, with majority of
subdivisions being divided at a density of 7 dwelling units per acre). The current proposal is to
change the code from 5 to 6 dwelling units per acre.
As always, thank you for your comments.
Best Regards,
Allison Satter

Subject: Comments on Proposed Ordinance 5403 Amending the City Comprehensive Plan
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments
unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Allison,
Once again, I urge the City of Bremerton (hereinafter, the City) to not make this change to the
Comprehensive Plan.
Changing the zoning to allow six dwelling units per acre (DUA) breaks down to each dwelling being built
on .1666 of an acre, or roughly 7,260 square feet, as stated in the Planning Department meeting
minutes from January. Changing the zoning to allow 7 DUA would break down to .1429 of an acre, or
roughly 6,223 square feet.
Based on US Census Bureau statistics, the median size of new construction homes sold in 2019 was
2,322 square feet. An average size 1-car garage is 12x20, so a 2-car garage would be approximately
24x20 or 480 square feet. With the garage, that brings total square feet to 2,802. At 6 DUA that would
leave 4,458sf; at 7 DUA, that would leave 3,421sf. Development companies are not limited on the
square footage of the homes they build other than by required setbacks. Most new homes are built to
fit the size of the lot with very little left for a yard for recreation, because that raises the profit
margin. You need only drive through the many new developments to verify this is the case.
For comparison purposes, my house is 824 square feet and my detached garage is 504 square feet on a
lot size of .14/acre or 6,098 square feet, leaving about 4,770 square feet for yard. For my own purposes,
I have enough yard for gardening and enjoying the outdoors. Had the house and garage been situated
differently on the property, there might be a big enough yard for badminton, croquet, or other outdoor
games, but as situated, none of those activities could be enjoyed on my property. As noted above,
houses are being built on an average much higher than the combined square footage of my house
(despite the fact that the City needs more modest sized homes) and detached garage, so the same
amount of land would not be left for recreation.
Not having much yard was somewhat acceptable pre-pandemic because housing developments often
have a recreation area within the development, and there are several City parks and a nearby State
park, and dog parks. However, none of those were options during the first few months of the stay home
order and social distancing. Can you imagine what families with children or dogs were doing for outdoor
recreation during this time? Some of you may have children or dogs and know full well how much a
substantial yard, or lack of one, meant during this time.
HB1923 was signed into law pre-pandemic. There is nothing mandated in HB1923; it offers various
options for cities to consider, with grant money available the more options you implement. The City is
going forward with planning as if in a pre-pandemic world, without reconsidering how that should
impact development and density within a city. Not only do we face at least another six months of
cautious living and social distancing for this current pandemic, but we face certain other pandemics in
the future. Squeezing as many houses into a space as possible will mean people won’t be able to social
distance easily or offer their children or dogs opportunity to enjoy many outdoor activities without a
yard to support that.
The fact that there is no mandate for any of this to be affordable or deeply affordable housing just
exacerbates this further. The City has made previous density changes (including in existing affordable or
deeply affordable housing areas that our City so desperately needs) that will potentially lead to
displacement of lower income residents. There seems to be no assessment or concern about the risk of
residential displacement, particularly in neighborhoods with communities at high risk of displacement.
The City indicates that every opportunity is given for the public to comment, but that is not really
accurate. The City meets the minimum requirement of holding a public meeting at a time when most
people are sitting down to dinner with their families. They provide a link to a document that could be
over 200 pages so each citizen has to carefully scrutinize the document for the portions that impact
them, effectively making it difficult for citizens to participate. Same was true for the Comprehensive
Plan update. The City could make an extra effort and notify citizens and affected homeowners by
mailing information to all and fully addressing the impact of proposed changes, but they choose not to
do that. In choosing not to be more transparent, it leaves citizens with the impression that the City,
including the Planning Commission and City Council, do not really want citizen input.
The City does not provide transparency of the impact to communities – increased height potentially
impacting views, traffic increases, noise increases, transportation issues, impact to roads, etc., but
rather glosses over the impact that density changes will have on real people. The City doesn’t even
discuss the fact that once the change is made to the Comprehensive Plan that citizens often have no
right of appeal when a monstrosity development is all of a sudden going to be built right next door to
them because they were not aware of the Comprehensive Plan change. The City is not planning in a
manner that preserves livability for the citizens and shame on the City for operating in this manner.
This recommendation serves the real estate and development community, but not the citizens of this
City. In fact, an employee of the City admitted as much to me one time, indicating that members of the
real estate and development community are “always in our office.” It is a plan that disregards livability
for citizens, does not mitigate housing insecurity, and does not consider the impact of a pandemic. I
recognize the City has been working toward this since HB1923 was signed into law in July 2019, but
times have changed. We have all had to take a step back, reevaluate how we live our lives and adjust to
meet today’s requirement to keep ourselves, our families and our neighbors healthy and safe during this
pandemic. The City needs to do the same. Please take a step back, regroup, and rethink the right way
forward for our City.
