SECTION 3. Section 10.10.070 of the Bremerton Municipal Code entitled
"Parking Violations” is hereby amended to read as follows:
10.10.070 PARKING VIOLATIONS.
In addition to those statutes set forth in the Washington Model Traffic Ordinance as
adopted pursuant to Chapter 10.04 BMC restricting standing, stopping and parking of vehicles, it
shall be unlawful and punishable as a civil infraction for any person to commit any of the
following actions:
(a) Parking in Time Limit and No Repark Zones.
(1) Downtown Core. Where a time limit and no re-parking is established by
official signs, no vehicle may be re-parked on either side of the same named street (i.e., Pacific
Avenue or 5th Street) in the downtown core during the same calendar day after the expiration of
the posted time limit. For purposes of this section, a vehicle shall be deemed to be re-parked and
in violation of this section even if the vehicle is moved prior to the expiration of the posted time
limit and is re-parked on either side of the same named street.
(2) Residential. Where posted, it is unlawful for a vehicle to remain parked, or
to be re-parked within four (4) blocks of the original parking location within a restricted parking
zone, if the parking time or combined parking time for the vehicle exceeds the time limitations of
the parking zone. Vehicles issued permits under Chapter 10.10 BMC shall be exempt from
posted time limits according to the terms of the permit, however, they will not be exempt from
the time restrictions set forth in subsections (b)(1), (2) and (3) of this section.
(b) Parking or Storage of Vehicles Within Street. Except when otherwise provided by
subsection (b)(4) of this section, the parking or storage of vehicles within any street shall be
subject to the following parking restrictions in addition to other parking restrictions set forth in
this chapter:
5
Chapter 10.10 BMC – Parking Code
(1) Time Restriction - No Repark. The parking or storage of any vehicle in the
same parking location on a street in excess of five (5) consecutive calendar days without
movement shall be unlawful. If any time after the initial five (5) consecutive calendar day period
the vehicle is still parked in the same location on the street in violation of the five (5) day
parking restriction and is then re-parked on the same street within the same block for any period
of time up to twenty-four (24) hours, it shall be considered to be parked in the same location
within the street and therefore still in violation of the five (5) day parking restriction.
(2) Recreational Vehicles, Boats or Vessels, and Trailers - Additional
Restrictions. No person shall park any recreational vehicle, boat or vessel, or trailer, as defined in
BMC 10.10.010 on any street for longer than twenty-four (24) hours, unless such activity is
authorized pursuant to a temporary permit pursuant to subsection (b)(4) of this section or to a
residential permit pursuant to BMC 10.10.050(d). If any time after the initial unpermitted
twenty-four (24) hour period the vehicle is still parked in the same location on the street in
violation of the twenty-four (24) parking restriction and is then re-parked on the same street
within the same block for any period of time up to twenty-four (24) hours, it shall be considered
to be parked in the same location within the street and therefore still in violation of the twenty-
four (24) parking restriction.
(3) Oversized Vehicles - Additional Restrictions. The City Council finds that
the parking and storage of commercial trucks, vans, tractor trailers, and semi-trailers, or
combination thereof, exceeding twenty-two (22) feet in length (including any attached trailer) or
with a maximum gross vehicle weight exceeding ten thousand (10,000) pounds presents
unacceptable risks and hazards to public health, safety, and welfare when such vehicles are
parked or stored on any street at times when such vehicles are not engaged in business or
commercial activity. Accordingly, no commercial truck, vehicle, van, trailer, or semi-trailer, or
combination thereof exceeding twenty-two (22) feet in length (including any attached trailer) or
with a maximum gross vehicle weight exceeding ten thousand (10,000) pounds, whether licensed
or unlicensed, may be stored or parked upon any street for longer than twenty-four (24) hours,
unless such activity is authorized pursuant to a temporary permit pursuant to subsection (b)(4) of
this section.
(4) Temporary Parking Permits - Exception to Time Restrictions. A vehicle may
park on a street for a period of time that exceeds the time restrictions set forth in this section,
BMC 10.10.070, as well as any parking restriction time period established in
BMC 10.10.030 and 10.10.040(a) if it has been specifically permitted, on a temporary short term
limited basis and for the period of time permitted. Such a permit may be issued:
(i) To a resident when necessary such as when the resident will be out of
town or some other similar short term use;
(ii) With a public works right-of-way permit or other similar City or State
authorization for construction or other related public purpose; or

not be determined to have committed an infraction if the person produces in court or before the
court appearance the placard or special license plate required under this section. Additionally, it
is a traffic infraction pursuant to subsection (a) of this section for any vehicle displaying the
6
Chapter 10.10 BMC – Parking Code
placard or special license plate as provided for in BMC 10.10.060 and RCW 46.19.050 to violate
any time restrictions imposed on nonmetered, on-street parking places reserved for persons with
physical disabilities as well as non-reserved, on-street parking spaces.

owned, leased, or operated by the City is subject to the following restrictions:

portion of the street;

TO: file
FROM: Melinda Monroe
SUBJECT: Bremerton Municipal Code Traffic 10.10
The purpose of this memo is to inform stake-holders of proposed updates to the
Bremerton Municipal code.
The proposed updates serve to improve enforcement of recreational vehicle permits,
and improve the enforcement of vehicles blocking sidewalks and/or parked on city
property. The updates are:
1) In section 10.10.010 "Definitions", addition of the term, "Boat Trailer" to the
definitions. This is a continuation of the update made in 2020 allowing
recreational vehicle permits
2) Adding a new enforcement code via 10.10.070(s)"Parked on Sidewalk", allowing
enforcement to cite against a vehicle that extends over a sidewalk.
3) A clarification to BMC 10.10.110 (b) (3) "Vehicle Impound - Other Enforcement",
adding no parking on city property when the vehicle is parked within an area not
designated for parking and interfering with the use of the area by others or the
vehicle jeopardizes public safety such habitual parking on the boardwalk.
These changes have been reviewed and approved by the following:

PUBLIC WORKS AGREEMENT – Page 2 of 8
(between City of Bremerton and Spectra Contract Flooring, Inc.)
C. Final Payment: Waiver of Claims. THE MAKING OF FINAL PAYMENT

CLAIMS, EXCEPT THOSE PREVIOUSLY AND PROPERLY MADE
AND IDENTIFIED BY CONTRACTOR AS UNSETTLED AT THE
TIME REQUEST FOR FINAL PAYMENT IS MADE.
4. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Contractor is and shall be at all times acting
as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the City. The Contractor shall secure at

provisions. The latest prevailing wage rate revision issued by the Department of Labor and

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

to the City’s project manager within two (2) business days of the date the Contractor knew or
PUBLIC WORKS AGREEMENT – Page 3 of 8
(between City of Bremerton and Spectra Contract Flooring, Inc.)
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.

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.
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
PUBLIC WORKS AGREEMENT – Page 4 of 8
(between City of Bremerton and Spectra Contract Flooring, Inc.)
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.

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.

with this agreement within 120 calendar days from the date the contract work is complete.

be grounds to avoid any of these covenants of indemnification.

MEMORANDUM
January 14, 2020
TO: Procurement File
FROM: Jeff Elevado
Parks & Recreation Director
A Requests for Proposal (RFP) was provided to five (5) vendors from the MRSC Small Works Roster
for the Gold Mountain Golf Course Clubhouse Flooring Project. Staff received proposals from two
(2) vendors.
The proposal received from Great Floors did not include critical elements identified in the Scope of
Work that was part of the RFP, specifically subfloor preparation and the removal and replacement
of the wooden baseboard trim. The Great Floors bid was therefore determined to be
“nonresponsive”.
In accordance with RCW 39.04.010, staff recommends award of the contract to a responsible
bidder with the lowest responsive bid, which in this instance is the bid submitted by Spectra
Contact Flooring.

BMC 2.50.032 – Actual Salary Rate
ORDINANCE NO. ________
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of
Bremerton, Washington, amending Chapter 2.50 of the Bremerton
Municipal Code entitled “Management and Professional Staff
Compensation Program” by amending Section 2.50.032 related to
promotions and benefits.
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend provisions of Section 2.50.032 of
the Bremerton Municipal Code relating to promotions and benefits; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREMERTON, WASHINGTON,
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 2.50.032 of the Bremerton Municipal Code entitled
"Actual Salary Rate" is hereby amended to read as follows:
2.50.032 ACTUAL SALARY RATE.
(a) Initial Rate. The salary rate of a person upon appointment to a management or
professional position shall be set no lower than Rate 1 of the salary band to which an employee’s
position is assigned. When it is in the best interest of the City, the City Council may authorize an
initial salary of a newly hired person at a rate which exceeds Rate 1.
(b) Salaries may be increased as follows:
(1) Salary Rate Advancement. Each person shall be eligible for a salary rate
advancement upon completion of twelve (12) full months of regular (as opposed to interim)
service at each rate in the salary band. To receive a salary rate advancement, the employee must
be evaluated as "meets expectations" (or equivalent) on his or her work performance evaluation.
Salary rate advancements shall be an increase of one rate in the same salary band, if available.
(2) Additional Advancement. Those employees who receive a rating that
exceeds the rating "meets expectations" (or equivalent) may be eligible to receive an additional
salary rate advancement for an increase of one additional rate in the same salary band, if
available, above the initial rate advancement provided in subsection (b)(1) of this section. This
additional advancement shall require the recommendation of the department head, or equivalent,
and approval of the Mayor and City Council.
(3) A rate advancement that was denied may be granted following a minimum
sixty (60) day review period of the employee’s performance.
(4) Notwithstanding the above, when it is in the best interest of the City, the
City Council upon the recommendation of the Mayor may authorize an in-range adjustment to
provide additional salary in instances of promotion, to provide for internal equity corrections, or
for another reason deemed appropriate by the City Council.
(c) Changes to Employee Classifications.
(1) Downgrading an Employee’s Classification. Upon the City Council’s
approval of downgrading a person’s classification to a lower salary band, the person’s initial
salary rate will be set at the same rate in the new band that was in effect in the former salary
band. In the event a person’s salary rate exceeds the maximum rate of the salary band to which
Page 2 of 3
BMC 2.50.032 – Actual Salary Rate
his or her position is assigned on the date of downgrading, his or her actual salary rate shall be
frozen until such time as the maximum rate of the new band is equal to or greater than his or her
actual salary and, at such time, the employee’s salary rate shall be set at the maximum rate of the
salary band to which his or her position is assigned.
(2) Upgrading an Employee’s Classification. If an employee’s classification is
moved from one salary band to a higher band (excluding promotions), the employee’s salary rate
at the higher band shall be set at the next rate which is higher than the salary he or she was
receiving at the former band. Any additional rate advancements shall require City Council
approval. The employee’s salary rate advancement date does not change.
(3) Promotions. In the event an employee is promoted from one classification to
a higher classification (one salary band to a higher salary band), the employee’s salary rate at the
higher band shall be set at the next rate which is higher than the salary he or she was receiving at
the former band. Promoted employees shall be eligible for a salary rate advancement upon
completion of twelve (12) full months of regular (as opposed to interim) service at each rate in
the new salary band, which shall be the employee’s new salary rate advancement date. In the
event an employee is promoted to a management/professional classification outside of IAFF
Local 437, said employee will maintain their current and future benefits covered in the collective
bargaining agreement in lieu of the benefits covered in Sections 2.50.032 through 2.50.070. Any
additional rate advancements shall require City Council approval.
SECTION 2. Corrections. The City Clerk and codifiers of this ordinance are
authorized to make necessary corrections to this ordinance including, but not limited to, the
correction of scrivener, clerical, typographical, and spelling errors, references, ordinance
numbering, section/subsection numbers and any references thereto.
SECTION 3. Severability. If any one or more sections, subsections, or sentences
of this ordinance are held to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the
validity of the remaining portion of this ordinance and the same shall remain in full force and
effect.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force ten
(10) days from and after its passage, approval and publication as provided by law.

public hearing will address the outstanding recommendation.
The Council’s options include:
1. Render a decision by either:

b. Approving with modifications, or
c. Deny.
2. Conduct the public hearing, hear citizen testimony, and debate the amendments and adopt
the code modifications at a future Council meeting.

ORDINANCE NO. ________
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of
Bremerton, Washington, amending the Bremerton Municipal Code
Section 20.46.010 to allow two Accessory Dwelling Units.
WHEREAS, through practical use and application of the Zoning Code the need
for modification has been identified; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bremerton (“City”) has established a procedure for
amending the Zoning Code in Title 20.18.020(d) of the Bremerton Municipal Code (“BMC”),
which requires amendments to the Zoning Code to be both consistent with the goals and policies
of the Comprehensive Plan and to be consistent with other applicable rules and regulations; and
WHEREAS, these amendments are consistent with the City’s Comprehensive
Plan, County Wide Planning Policies, The State Growth Management Act, and other applicable
regulations and ordinances; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bremerton (and the region) are experiencing a housing
shortage and allowing a second Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADUs) would increase the
opportunity for more housing types in the City; and
WHEREAS, due to their smaller size, an ADU can provide a more affordable
housing option in single-family zones; and
WHEREAS, increasing housing options, such as ADUs, throughout the City will
give more families access to existing schools, parks, and other public amenities; and
WHEREAS, on May 18, 2020, the Planning Commission conducted a workshop
on the proposed amendments; and
WHEREAS, on May 29, 2020, and October 2, 2020 a State Environmental Policy
Act (“SEPA”) Determination of Nonsignificance (“DNS”) was issued for the proposed action
and no appeals were filed; and
WHEREAS, on June 1, 2020, and October 2, 2020 the proposed Zoning Code
amendments were circulated to the State Agencies for the requisite review and comment period;
and
WHEREAS, on October 2, 2020, the public was notified by a legal advertisement
in the Kitsap Sun of the opportunity to make comment and participate in the public hearing held
by the Planning Commission; and
2
Title 20 BMC Updates
WHEREAS, on October 19, 2020, the Planning Commission conducted a public
hearing on the Zoning Code amendments and formulated a recommendation to forward the
amendments for City Council consideration; and
WHEREAS, on December 16, 2020, the City Council passed the majority of the
Planning Commission recommendations through Ordinance 5410, however the Council
requested that the Commission’s recommendation of two ADUs per site come back at a later
date; and
WHEREAS, on February 11, 2021, the public was notified by a legal
advertisement in the Kitsap Sun of the opportunity to make comment and participate in the
public hearing on February 17, 2021 by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, on February 17, 2021, the City Council conducted a public hearing
and considered all testimony prior to their decision; NOW THEREFORE,

20.46.010 ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) may be permitted anywhere a new or existing single-
family dwelling unit (hereafter, "principal unit") is allowed. Accessory dwelling units are exempt
from the density requirements of the underlying zone and shall be subject to the following
requirements:
(a) An ADU shall comply with the development standards of the underlying zone for
the principal unit including setbacks, height, and lot coverage or BMC 20.44.060, accessory
structures setbacks for detached ADUs.

(1) single-family dwelling unit and one (1) a maximum of two (2) ADUs.
(d) Manufactured homes may be allowed as an accessory dwelling unit provided it
complies with the design criteria of ADUs and must comply with BMC 20.46.040, manufactured
home provisions, excluding BMC 20.46.040(a)(2) and (6) regarding size and roof pitch.
(e) The ADU shall be limited to one thousand (1,000) square feet or not more than sixty

3
Title 20 BMC Updates
(1) To encourage the compact infill development and use of existing single-
family homes, if a residence that was constructed or remodeled prior to December 31, 2020, is
proposed to be divided into a principal unit and an ADU, the Director may allow equal square
footage for the principal unit and the ADU if the ADU is located completely on a single floor of
the existing residence. This does not apply to detached ADUs.
(f) Any ADU shall be designed so that the appearance of the building remains that of a
single-family residence and should architecturally blend into the existing neighborhoods through
careful design. The exterior of an ADU shall have siding and roofing which in color, material
and appearance are comparable to the predominant materials of the primary dwelling unit and/or
characteristics of the neighborhood.
(g) The second accessory dwelling units shall provide one (1) off-street parking space
in addition to that which is required for the principal unit. If only one ADU is onsite, it is not
required to provide additional off-street parking space. The site must comply with BMC 20.48,
specifically that the required parking spaces for the principal unit shall be provided and that all
driveways and areas used for loading, parking, and maneuvering vehicles on the parcel shall
have a paved surface.
(h) When development of an ADU is for people with disabilities, the Director may
allow reasonable deviation from the stated requirements to install features that facilitate
accessibility such as those required by the International Building Code.
(i) An ADU shall be required to be served by City water and sewer or an approved
septic system.
(j) The property owner, which shall include titleholders and contract purchasers, must
abide by the following:
(1) International Property Maintenance Code Chapter 3, Section 302,
concerning exterior property areas, as adopted at BMC 17.04.020(f), except those not adopted as
enumerated in BMC 17.04.110, or as hereby amended; and
(2) All applicable provisions in BMC Title 6 regarding health and sanitation
including maintaining nuisance vegetation, proper garbage and refuse containment, and
maintaining the buildings to not qualify as an unfit dwelling, building, structure and/or premises.
(k) Conversion of Existing Detached Structures. To encourage the compact infill
development of existing structures throughout the City, a detached ADU that does not comply
with certain development standards of this chapter may be permitted provided the requirements
of this section are met. The following shall apply to all development seeking to utilize this
provision:
(1) The structure must have been constructed prior to December 31, 2020. The
structure must either have received a City or County permit, not needed a permit at the time of
construction, or be recognized as a structure per the Kitsap County Assessor records.
(2) The structure must meet, either currently or through permitted remodeling,
the requirements of the building (BMC Title 17) and fire (BMC Title 18) code for habitable
structures.
(3) The conversion of an existing structure to an ADU, with no expansions, may
be exempt from:
(i) Compliance with the development standards for setbacks, height, and
lot coverage of the underlying zone.
(ii) Compliance with the ADU provisions of this section related to size
and design, except as provided at subsection (k)(4) of this section.
4

(4) An existing structure may be enlarged or extended, provided the following
provisions are met:
(i) The enlargements do not violate underlying zone requirements.
Structures that do not conform to the setback requirements may expand up to twenty (20) percent
of the gross floor area, and to the building line, provided these enlargements do not further
violate setback requirements.
(ii) The enlargements do not cause the entire structure to exceed the
ADU size requirements of subsection (e) of this section.
(iii) Any altered or new facades shall have siding and roofing which in
color, material, and appearance match or complement the predominant materials of the existing
structure.
(5) A conversion of the structure to an ADU will not be approved if it conflicts
with the City’s plans, Capital Improvement Plan or other capital projects related to nearby
expansion of utilities or infrastructure including the need for additional right-of-way.
SECTION 4. Corrections. The City Clerk and codifiers of this ordinance are
authorized to make necessary corrections to this ordinance, including but not limited to, the
correction of scrivener, clerical, typographical, and spelling errors, references, ordinance
numbering, section/subsection numbers and any references thereto.
SECTION 5. Severability. If any one or more sections, subsections, or sentences

validity of the remaining portion of this ordinance and the same shall remain in full force and
effect.

At the December 16, 2020 Public Hearing, the Council requested that one Planning Commission
recommendation be considered at a future date:
• Increasing the maximum number of ADUs per lot from one (1) to two (2).
Additional Information:
Though this Planning Commission’s Finding and Conclusion is the record of the ADU public process
including the official Workshop and Public Hearing, the ADU discussions has been discussed numerous
times at the Commission’s meeting. The Planning Commission meetings were ADUs were discussed are
related to the City’s Infill Toolkit discussion. The following are other times that ADUs were discussed at
Planning Commission (when the meeting was not specifically about ADUs):
• March 19, 2018

To: City Council
From: Allison Satter, Planning Manager
Date: February 1, 2021
Subject: Amendments to the Zoning Code regarding Two Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)
SUMMARY
City Council is holding a Public Hearing to change the Zoning Code to allow two Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADUs) per single-family lot, specifically Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC)
20.46.010. This is the 2nd Council Public Hearing for the changes to the ADU code as
recommended by Planning Commission1. The Zoning Code amendments made in the 1st Public
Hearing (Ordinance 5410) will not be change at this meeting . As this Public Hearing is the
remaining item of the discussion from the 1st hearing, click here to access City Council's
December 16, 2020 record, which is not repeated in this packet.
The Council’s options include either:
1. Render a decision by:
a. Approving,
b. Approving with modifications, or
c. Deny.
2. Conduct the public hearing, hear citizen testimony, and debate the amendments and
adopt the code modifications at a future Council meeting.
The Council has requested additional information regarding the proposed amendments and this
memo provides information for the following:
• Can an Affordability Component required to build the second ADU?
o What is affordable?
• Parking required for the second ADU, and can it be reduced?
• Can we regulate ADUs to not be Short-term vacation rentals?
• How does other cities regulate two ADUs?
1 Zoning Code Amendments to the ADU regulations was passed on December 16, 2020 via Ordinance
5410. Changes included removing owner-occupancy requirement, eliminating the one -additional off-
street parking space, modifying the maximum size requirement, reduci ng the design criteria, and allowing
some nonconforming structures to be converted to an ADU.

MEMORANDUM
Memo to ADU Ordinance
⚫ Page 2
Planning Commission’s Recommendation
Planning Commission unanimously recommended the ADU amendments for BMC 20.46.010 at
a Public Hearing held on October 19, 2020. At the Planning Commission’s public hearing, each
topic of proposed changes to the ADU code was discussed independently prior to the vote. The
Commission’s recommendation for two ADUs in the attached ordinance is described in this
memo. Please note that this Memo shows proposed amendments in legislative markup with
changes being red, and additions being underlined and deletions being strike-through.
(c) Only one (1) two (2) ADUs may be created per lot. The lot shall only contain one (1)
single-family dwelling unit and one (1) a maximum of two (2) ADUs.
The amended code as recommended
by the Planning Commission raises
this limit to two (2) ADUs, either two
attached, two detached, or one
attached and one detached. The
Planning Commission’s decision was
based on public comment that was
supportive of multiple ADUs on a
parcel, as well as the example of
neighboring cities that have
introduced similar ADU standards.
The City of Seattle currently allows
up to two ADUs per lot, as does
Kirkland and Burien. Looking further,
the State of California now permits up to two ADUs statewide on all family zoned for low density
residential uses.
A Councilmember also expressed concerns about allowing two attached units or two detached
units on a single-family home lot. Although the City’s updated ADU code may allow two, as a
practical matter the City’s Code (Fire and Zoning) will make this difficult, or impossible, as
follows:
• If two ADUs are attached to a Single-family home, such as a basement and upper floor
conversion to units, the Single-family home will have to install an automatic sprinkler
system. For existing houses, this is an expen sive request that requires significant work.
One attached ADU to a single-family home does not require the sprinkler system to be
installed (this becomes a requirement at two attached units).
• Small lots will not be able to locate two detached ADUs as the re is existing development
standards that will limit this. Such as not complying with maximum lot coverage allowed
which is 60% (40% of their site needs to yard) and meeting the required setbacks.
Memo to ADU Ordinance
⚫ Page 3
Can the City require an affordability component for AD Us?
Staff researched the State Law provisions that set the requirements for programs (not MFTE)
that have affordability requirements. We reviewed WAC 365-196-870 and RCW 36.70A.540.
These sections of the State regulations indicate that if an affordability c omponent is included in
local codes then:
• The rent cap for an eligible household shall be less than 30% of the household’s income.
• The “income limits” used by the local regulations must be less than 80% Area Median
Income (AMI) of the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). For and for Bremerton this
would be based on the Bremerton-Silverdale MSA. Here’s the data for 2020:
2020
Bremerton-
Silverdale
MSA
Median
Family
Income
2020 Income Limit
Category
Person in Family
1 2 3 4
$91,700
Low (80%) Income
Limit
$51,350
$58,700
$66,050
$73,350
As shown in the table above, one person in an ADU shall not make more than $51,350 to
be an income-eligible household. Their rent/utility cost should not be more than $1,284
per month.
• The State requires that the “period of affordability” for these programs be established at
50 years and it does not appear that we can reduce this period to be less time like that
which is allowed under the Multifamily Tax Exemption (MFTE) code (which is 12 years for
affordable units).
• If an affordability requirement is established by the local code then a n agreement is
required prior to the issuing the permit for the ADU, that will be recorded with the land.
Any future landowner of the property will have to accept the terms of this agreement.
• An ADU established under the affordability provisions will require annual reporting and
coordination with the property owner to ensure they are meeting the affordability
requirement and is subject to Code Enforcement for failing to comply.
Memo to ADU Ordinance
⚫ Page 4
The proposal to require an affordability component if two ADUs are constructed on a site could
be the following (this is not currently part of the proposed Ordinance):
(c) Only one (1) Two (2) ADUs may be created per lot. The lot shall only contain one (1)
single-family dwelling unit and one (1) a maximum of two (2) ADUs. For the placement of
the second ADU, an affordability component is required and must meet the following:
(1) One ADU must be an affordable rental unit reserved solely for "income-eligible
households" and is subject to an agreement specifying the affordable housing
requirements under this subsection to ensure tha t the housing shall serve only
income-eligible households for a minimum period of 50 years. The monthly rent,
including basic utilities, shall not exceed 30 percent of the income limit for the unit,
and the housing owner shall submit a report to the Depart ment of Community
Development annually that documents how the affordable housing meets the
terms of the recorded agreement.
i. “Income-eligible households” in this section means a single person, family,
or unrelated persons living together whose adjusted inco me is at or below
eighty (80) percent of the median family income adjusted for family size, for
Kitsap County, as reported by the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development.
(2) Prior to issuance, and as a condition to issuance, of the second AD U building
permit, the applicant shall execute and record a declaration in a form acceptable to
the Director that shall commit the applicant to satisfy the conditions to establishing
a second ADU.
How does the Affordability Requirement work for Seattle’s two ADU code?
City of Seattle has required that if an 2 nd ADU is constructed on a single-family lot, that second
unit (in some zones) shall be either constructed using Green Building Standards or must be
rented as an affordable unit. They adopted this requirement late in 2019. As of January 2021,
the City of Seattle has not permitted any 2 nd ADU using the affordability component. Seattle
mentioned that the 2nd ADU using the affordability requirement would typically be used for
nonprofit developers due to the 50-year commitment.
City of Seattle has been permitting many second ADUs using the Green Building Standard but
was working on final numbers (which data was not available yet).
Memo to ADU Ordinance
⚫ Page 5
Can the Parking for the second ADU be eliminated if close to transit?
The Planning Commission proposal for parking when allowing two ADUs on a parcel is the
following (which is part of the proposed Ordinance):
(g) The second accessory dwelling units shall provide one (1) off-street parking space in
addition to that which is required for the principal unit. If only one ADU is onsite, it is not
required to provide additional off-street parking space. The site must comply with BMC
20.48, specifically that the required parking spaces for the principal unit shall be provided
and that all driveways and areas used for loading, parking, and maneuvering vehicles on
the parcel shall have a paved surface.
City Council inquired if the City could eliminate the requirement for the parking of the second
ADU when frequent transit is nearby. This is a similar proposal to a recent State Law change.
In 2020, Washington State lawmakers passed State Bill 6617 which requires jurisdictions to
waive off-street parking requirements for ADUs when nearby frequent transit. The bill prohibits
cities from imposing off-street parking requirements for ADUs with one-quarter mile of frequent
transit, including commuter rail, rapid transit buses, or other public transportation that runs every
15 minutes during peak hours. The one-quarter mile, or 1,320 feet, is about a 5 to 10-minute
walk. Currently Bremerton does not have public transit that qualifies to those standards.
Though the City does not meet the “fre quent transit” qualifications as identified by the State at
this time, the Council can still eliminate the parking requirement for the second ADU if it desires.
Following the model of the State Bill, the need for more parking can be reduced if the property is
near City Centers and commercial hubs as this is where buses converge and have more
frequent transit than other areas of the City. The following is a potential code proposal for
Council to consider (this is not currently part of the proposed Ordinance):
(g) The following is required for the parking and driveways areas:
(1) An accessory dwelling unit One ADU located onsite is not required to provide an
additional off-street parking space.
(2) A second ADU located onsite shall provide one (1) additional off-street parking space
unless the property is located within 1,500 feet of City Center or commercial zones.
(3) The site must comply with Chapter 20.48 BMC, specifically that the required parking
spaces for the principal unit shall be provided and that all driveways and areas used
for loading, parking, and maneuvering vehicles on the parcel shall have a paved
surface.
Memo to ADU Ordinance
⚫ Page 6
Can the City limit ADUs from becoming Short-term Vacation Rentals?
The Council inquired if we allow two ADUs, can we limit the ADUs from being short-term
vacation rentals? Currently the City does not regulate short-term rentals but the ADU code can
contain provisions to prohibit them from being used in this manner .
A proposed code could be (this is not part of the proposed ordinance):
New Subsection (L) An ADU may not be used as a short-term rental and must be rented
for a minimum of ninety days or more.
This is very similar to an existing provision from Poulsbo Municipal Code 18.70.070(A)(5)(k).
How Does other jurisdictions regulate ADUs ?
Loosening development restrictions for ADUs is an important tool that the city can utilize to
provide a variety of housing types and income sources for the public. Both nationally and within
Washington, providing more ADU flexibility is becoming increasingly utilized . Over the next three

Hello Greg,
So do you think the chances are this time of getting the adjustments approved for ADU
type structures strong? I shared the recent article regarding your plan with Charlotte
Garrido. She mentioned she did not note the nuisance of the story and thanked me for
'catching it' for her. I sure think it would be wise for the county to move in the same
direction. They are really missing the boat if they don't.

Hi all,
First off, I hope you're all staying sane in these fairly insane times. Thanks for being public servants.
I've been a social worker, and I'd imagine being a public servant is sort of like that, but with more public
criticism. Thank you.
Second, I'm elated by the news about loosening restrictions on ADUs. If there is anything I can do to
promote that cause, let me know. I think it's a win-win-win. In terms of home value, Bremerton has
been extraordinarily good to us. Our home value has more than doubled since we bought our home five
years ago. I consider this a huge blessing, but I'm aware others aren't so privileged. Through the years,
I've kicked around various schemes for leveraging this equity we stumbled into for not just a dream
home, but a dream development. I want to build for others. It's simply a good investment, but also I've
realized that when we have people over for dinner and I spend four hours cooking paella and we serve it
up in my hand-built garden, I have the same feeling that I get when I scheme for these developments. I
just genuinely like creating experiences and environments for others to enjoy. My hospitality drive
pushes me to aspire to developing, while my obligation to my wife and baby keep me grounded in a
healthy fear of failure. I've come to the conclusion that I want to leverage our equity to build multifamily
and use some rentals to supplement our income - and my retirement, which, quite frankly, is not
promising. I see a duplex-quadruplex in Bremerton (or the Bremerton area) as the ultimate insurance
against a beleaguered Social Security. But for several years, I've lived with the conclusion that my own
property is simply beyond developing, as is almost all of Bremerton. We've thought about adding a
Attachment 2 - Public Comments for ADUs
Page 22 of 61

second story - we love our neighborhood's amenities and our location, but we simply don't want a
dream home, we want (and perhaps need) an income-generating investment. So spending upwards of
$100k to add some square footage to our house doesn't make sense if we can't add some means to pay
for it. A basement ADU conversion would subsidize our growth as a family.
Like most Bremerton homes, we have a basement that could be converted, but the single biggest
roadblock in our way was the parking requirement for ADUs. It isn't hard to dig an exterior entrance into
a basement. It is hard however - and visually scarring - to dig a second driveway into our house, built on
a slope, with a basement garage. The parking part was totally cost-prohibitive in our situation. We could
add some square footage for our own enjoyment, but our property was of limited income value to us.
We had resigned ourselves to look elsewhere, even outside Bremerton city limits. Allowing ADUs lets us
leverage our most valuable asset to our benefit.
Loosening these restrictions will make every basement in Bremerton a potential source of income - and
an affordable dwelling for those looking to rent. I'm proud of you guys for tackling the multiple issues
holding ADUs back at the same time: parking minimums, aesthetic design criteria, and owner
occupancy. Another issue for us was that if we ever did move, we would have to sell our home. That
made it less attractive to build a basement ADU. Overnight, we're looking at a potential game-changer
as our family outgrows our little 2-bed, 1-bath "starter home." If these deregulations pass, our home can
grow with us in every way, contributing to our incomes as well as our square footage. Please, please,
please - continue to go big on this thing.
Finally, I'm concerned the best ideas about revamping 6th Street are stalling out. 6th is a bad neighbor.
It serves non-tax-paying commuters to the detriment of the tax-paying residents. It's noisy. It's ugly. It
hosts blight. My priorities for 6th's redesign are ultimately 1) traffic calming/safety, and 2)
aesthetics/attracting new development. And I guess I could write a novel about those things that would
bore Dostoyevski, but are there better alternatives? Would it be hard to establish a Union Hill Advisory
Council? I have no desire to be a lone visionary - the Garguilles of Noah's Ark fame have done well on
this street, and I would really really value their opinion going forward. I've talked to "Cash," Midtown
Market's owner, and he has a vision for his own property that he thinks is prohibited. There's room for
many people's vision on 6th; I just want it to be the best that it can be, and I fear we're losing
momentum and vision with 6th's rebuild. I would like to see narrower lanes, wider sidewalks, street
trees, landscaped pedestrian islands, landscaped chicanes - anything, really, that will beautify 6th and
make it more attractive to redevelopment and the people who cross it on a near daily basis. I would like
to see 6th become an attractive, pedestrian-friendly boulevard linking the heart of pedestrian-friendly
Charleston and the heart of pedestrian-friendly downtown, a gateway for bikes and pedestrians in the
same way Charleston Beach Rd. is a gateway for cars entering the city. I fear I'm becoming a constant
critic. I want to become an effective contributor to solutions. How can I best do that?
There's a great maxim in the Orthodox Christian tradition: "Love your neighbor, and don't move around
a lot." Essentially, don't bail when loving your neighbor or neighborhood is hard. That's something I'm
trying to live by. The ADU issue makes it easier to do. Hearing more input on 6th and tailoring it to
redeveloping the heart of a neglected neighborhood does the same.

Subject: ADU Regulations
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments

Hi Bremerton City Council,
I have been informed that the city council is looking at making changes to Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)
regulations. I wanted to share my story regarding a former tiny house that was located on my property
in Bremerton. Unfortunately the city's current regulations left me no choice but to remove the tiny
house. Removing the tiny house took away what was a beautiful example of affordable housing in an
established supportive community. I hope that the changes that the city is looking to make reflect the
needs of the everyday residents of Bremerton and not just big delopors. We have an opportunity with
ADU's to change the house crises. With reduced regulations neighbors, friends, and family's would be
able to open up their homes to create more housing that is grounded in the community. I hope this
story can be an example of what we want to see change in these new regulations.
Here is my story:
A few years ago I felt stuck. Like the only point in life was to work so that I could pay a pile of bills society
decided I needed to pay (rent, insurance, utilities, gas... the list goes on). I was living in a city with no
sign of getting more affordable and at the beginning of my career making next to nothing scraping by. As
I started to evaluate my life I looked at how I could simplify life to reduce the stress of feeding into this
cycle. Work, eat, pay rent, work, eat, pay more bills...
One of the biggest expenses that came up for me that I felt I had very little control over was Housing. I
felt that there needed to be more options other than paying rent or buying a house. Both were too
expensive. Having roommates was one way to decrees that expense but it didn’t make that much of a
difference in the long run and commonly came with other issues. Like cleaning up after messy people. As
I approached my mid twenties I thought to myself "How do I get out of this endless cycle?" For me
finding a way to reduce my housing cost was crucial and at the center of how I could make a change. I
started to dog sit on the side to save extra money. It also gave me some time away from roommates and
I got to play and have fun with other people’s dogs. As I started to get booked for more and more dog
sittings I realized what is the point in paying rent if I’m never home. So I sold most of my stuff and put
what I wanted to keep in my parents garage and started moving every week from dog house to dog
house. I did this for about two years. As I started putting money aside from my dog sitting and not
having to pay rent anymore I felt hope. It started to open up opportunities I had never considered. As I
considered things I could do with the money I was saving I kept coming back to “do I want to get back
into the cycle of working to pay a bill?”
I realized quickly I wasn’t going to rent another overly priced place and I wasn’t willing to take on the
stress of a mortgage. So I started looking for that other option I longed for. I started with the idea of
living on a boat, but didn’t like the idea of living on a boat in winter or having limited head space. I didn’t
even want to commit to slip fees, pump out fees and utilities. So I thought I might like to build
something. I liked design and loved creating things. Did I have any real experience building? No. Did I

feel that I needed experience to build? No. So I went for it! I started by designing a bus conversion. Then
tiny houses. A tiny house felt right because I could build it to fit me. I could build it to reflect who I am,
what I like in a home and it would give me the freedom I desired. I learned to budget what I thought it
would cost and I decided if I could get half saved I would be able to get started and save the other half
as I built. It worked! It was hard. It was lonely at times. It felt crazy. It was an adventure but most of all it
worked and brought me freedom to escape the cycle I so loathed
As I finished the build I started to think about where I would park my tiny house. It was hard to find
anything that was close to my work or any major city that I could possibly work in. I had done so well in
gaining the skills building my tiny house that I decided it would be a good investment to take on a fixer
upper. The big house would give me a new project, an investment, and most of all a place to park the
tiny house. I found the perfect fixer and moved in with my brother to start renovations. Shortly after
finishing the improvements on the big house I was able to move the tiny house to the property and use
the big house to help others.
Over the last few years I have been able to help numerous friends by housing them as they transition in
their lives. Some have been through divorces and have used the big house as a refuge to get back on
their feet, Others have been saving to pay off student loans or saving to go back to school. My brother
and his girlfriend have been able to save for a place of their own some day. I like to call it the house that
keeps giving back. In return I have been able to live in a community of amazing friends and with the
perfect spot to park the tiny house.
Unfortunately as time has gone by the city of Bremerton has made changes to implement code
enforcement to a new level. I have been asked in the last few months to no longer occupy my tiny house
even though I have full access to my big house and use the big house for cooking, showering, and other
restroom needs. The reality is my tiny house falls into a grey area. It is not an ADU because it is too small
in square footage and it is not on a foundation. It isn't an RV because it was built on a utility trailer and
has never been registered as an RV. The city has decided to categorize it as an RV rather than work to
create a new category. As an RV I am only allowed to occupy it 30 day in a calendar year and can not use
it as a primary residents. Also it is required to be parked on pavement or a driveway as an RV. Because
of these restrictions the city will not let me pave an existing driveway to keep it parked in its current
location. Even if the city did allow me to keep it and pave the driveway for a place to park it, according
to the code I would be breaking the law sleeping in it each night.
It saddens me that Bremerton has decided to not work with me after so many years of creative problem
solving to get to this point. The impact this decision makes on me is minor in comparison to the number
of people's lives it could have helped that would have come through my big house over the years.
It's very important to me that the city and its citizens work together to create more housing. We are in a
serious housing crisis. Without more housing we are not doing our part to help low income people and
people that have fallen into homelessness as a result of the housing inequality. I am trying to do my part
to create affordable housing and fix up existing properties so that we can live in a better community. I
hope we can create a system that helps lift people out of the hopeless cycle I felt as a young adult. I
want to thank you for your hard work as you design these new regulations on ADU's. I hope my story
can help in some way to bring change.

December 7, 2020 Bremerton City Council 345 6th St, Suite 100 Bremerton, WA 98337
Dear Council Members, The Kitsap Building Association (KBA) wishes to formally support the proposed
amendments to BMC Title 20 for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), drafted by Community Development
and unanimously approved by the City’s Planning Commission. Specifically, the KBA urges the Council to
approve and adopt the following amendments:
• Revise the regulations to change the maximum number of ADUs allowed per lot (proposal is to allow
all lots with a single-family home to have 2 ADUs)
• Revise the maximum size limitations (as the State of Washington recommends)
• Refine the design criteria, which currently requires that the ADU exterior must compliment the single-
family home and/or neighborhood. The City does not currently regulate single-family homes design. This
should not extend to ADUs.
• Amend the parking requirement (additional parking spaces is not required for 1st ADU, and a 2nd ADU
onsite would have to provide one additional parking space).
• Remove the owner occupancy requirement.
• Allow certain non-conforming structures to be converted for use as ADUs (this would allow existing
garages on front property line to be converted to ADU).
The KBA wishes to thank Community Development Director Andrea Spencer, and Planning Manager
Allison Satter for engaging us in the amendment discussions. I would also like to acknowledge the City
Planning Commission, and their efforts to ensure the proposed changes to BMC Title 20 for ADUs are in
the best interest of Bremerton, WA.

City Council,
Based on a quick read of the proposed revised ordinance, it appears the following are the primary
proposed revisions to the ADU ordinance:
- Allow 2 ADUs and a primary dwelling on the property.
- ADUs may be up to 1,000 sq ft or not more than 60% of the primary dwelling whichever is greater
- All exterior design elements requirements have been removed.
- Only the 2nd ADU must provide 1 off-street parking space.
- Property owner does not have to live in the primary dwelling.
Removing a requirement to provide off-street parking will be detrimental to existing
neighborhoods. There is already a serious parking problem in West Bremerton, and that is occurring in
more Bremerton City neighborhoods. If it cannot sustain off-street parking, it should not be allowed to
be built in a location. While it is ideal to think of having a heavily walkable or bicycle friendly city, with
great public transit options, Bremerton is far away from being that City. The majority of
renters/homeowners have more than one vehicle so this change could add a minimum of three more
cars cramming into existing street parking throughout the city. That is a negative impact to residents
and neighbors, so I disagree with this change.
Allowing ADUs to be 1,000 feet or greater depending on the size of the primary dwelling is also
potentially detrimental to existing neighborhoods and residents and will not be a benefit to affordable
or deeply affordable housing. What the City lacks is more modest sized homes that provide great rental
or home ownership to those just starting out on their own. A 1,000 square foot home is sufficient space
for two people to live comfortably and provides a more affordable option to more people, thus helping
our home insecurity problem. I strongly encourage a maximum size for ADUs of 1,000 square feet.
Allowing 2 ADUs per property without more definitive requirements based on the size of the property,
etc., is an appalling change. I strongly disagree with allowing more than one ADU per property.
Removing the requirement that the primary unit be owner-occupied just turns this into trouble for
neighborhoods. We have one house in our neighborhood that rents rooms out to military men and
women. The property owner lives out of state. There have been up to eight additional cars on the
street based on the number living in this house. It's easy to imagine four vehicles per ADU if the size is
over 1,000 sq feet. There have been other issues throughout the years with this rental situation -
excessive speed, trash on the sidewalks and streets, loud parties, illegal fireworks, etc. Having a
property owner live on the property helps keep things in check for the neighborhood. I disagree with
removing this requirement - it's a benefit to developers or rental owners - not to residents and
neighborhoods.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments

Hello Allison,
I have just emailed my input to the city council and it occurred to me that I should have copied you
too. So here it is:
I am generally in favor of ADU’s but with caveats. Bremerton already has a considerably higher
percentage of rental properties than other cities so I think we need to move stepwise and cap
the ADU development at one per lot and take into account the following issues:
1) Ensuring that ADUs reduce local housing shortage.
We need to ensure that ADU’s do increase the number of housing options available to people
and do not just result in short term holiday rentals. Short term holiday rentals benefit the home
owner but they do not solve the issue of housing shortage. In increasing the allowable number
of ADUs we need to put a limit on the number that can be used for short term (holiday) rentals.
2) Parking safety
We need to ensure that parking for ADUs is available somewhere. 86.6% of Bremertonians own
a car and probably 100% of holiday renters own cars, (sometimes more than one if it involves a
family gathering). Hence there needs to be room on the ADU’s street to park a car belonging to
a renter without impeding traffic or pedestrians.
3) Storm water runoff mediation
Bremerton’s ability to handle storm water runoff is already taxed to the limit which results in
periodic sewage overflows during periods of heavy rain. With increased hardscape we need to
ensure that we maximize local water retention by using water-permeable surface
materials. Permeable materials include pavers, permeable concrete or gravel rather than
asphalt. Environmentally this is a good solution as, in addition to not compounding the sewage
overflows issue, permeable surfaces reduce pollutants that are otherwise routed into the
Sound. Recent work has shown that chemicals from tires, (6PPD-quinone), kills salmon before
they can spawn. Dyes Inlet, which Bremerton surrounds (and extends into with its various
peninsulas such as Marine Drive), is an important route for spawning salmon. Water-permeable
surface materials also reduce surface heating which, in a time of accelerating climate change, is
important. In removing vegetation to build ADUs we are negatively impacting the environment
so we need to do what we can to minimize our impact. The environmental speaks to the need
to cap ADUs to one per lot. Rain gardens are also a solution to surface runoff. Again this speaks
to the need to cap ADUs to one per lot; the minimum lot size for an ADU is environmentally
small at 3200sq. ft., (eg. 40ft x 80ft or 57 ft. sq).
4) Good Design
Attachment 2 - Public Comments for ADUs
Page 31 of 61
I don’t know what to suggest but I have the following concern. We need to ensure that ADUs
are built in styles that do not result in Bremerton regressing to a city known for slum housing. I
don’t know how this can be done but the approach needs to focus on “small, functional and
cute” rather than on a return to cheap, hastily constructed, wartime housing. It would seem
that good design, whatever that means, increases the value of the property and increases the
image of Bremerton as a whole. An approach of matching an ADU to an existing house style
may not be the best approach. Good design is needed without a huge number of regulations.
I think some thought needs to go into this question.

Dear Neighbors,
I am very much opposed to the amendment proposed below as it regards the Shorewood

Hello, I am providing comment about ADU if that is what the city is working on dealing with those
unfortunate souls who have no place to live in safety.
In June 2019 I had to flee my home. As this is a public forum, I became homeless. Couch surfing. I own a
home on 9th street, in Bremerton. After a long ugly divorce, that sale is just now in closing. Therefore,
with some equity, I could live in a tiny home. I have been a good neighbor. Please allow me the
opportunity to live in Kitsap County again.
It is a travesty that we in the USA do not benefit from shelter and safety as a basic necessity of life.

Dear Council members,
It is interesting to see what 10 years or so does to change one's perspective. A decade ago, the City
Council goals focused on reducing the number of rentals; increasing home ownership; and the average
household income of the City's residences.
Those were lofty goals and I wonder about their relevance when considering the proposed changes to
the ADU regulations.
It would also have been helpful to evaluate the proposed changes with data related to rental rates in
Bremerton and home ownership rates.
I would support postponing the changes of this regulation until it can be fine tuned a bit
more. Specifically:
1. Eliminate the provision to have 2 ADUs per lot. This is a de facto new zoning code and it should be
eliminated.
2. Change the parking requirement based on an analysis of the current parking environment. For
example, require the additional parking if the ADU is in an area that already has a residential parking
permit requirement.
3. Maintain the home-ownership requirement for the initial permitting of the ADU. We have Landlord -
tenant problems already. We should not be looking to increase these problems for our neighborhoods.
4. Reinstate some or all of the design standards. I agree that designing an ADU to more closely match
the existing house will cost more; however, those costs will be more than offset by the rent and the
appearance and appreciation to the homeowner and the neighborhood. As currently written, shed
roofs that matched the color and siding of the existing house would be allowed. Cheap and
unattractive is not what I envision for infill in our neighborhoods.
Thank you for your consideration and your service!

Good morning Counsel members,
I have read through the rezoning proposal and do not agree with it. I feel that allowing this to
pass would severely hurt the neighborhoods of Bremerton and take a bad turn towards slum lord
property owners. Allowing single resident/family lots to be turned into multi structure lots
ONLY helps big building companies and allowing the property owner to not live on the property
will encourage slum lord style ownership which would lead to the destruction of the community
over time. As a resident I feel that this bill should be struck down and the committee focus on
more things to help the community like repairing neighborhood roads in East Bremerton, or
adding sidewalks to the neighborhoods to make it safer for kids and families to walk. Thank you.

A terrible idea. Parking car clutter will be a major problem. To many rentals bring down the quality of a
neighborhood. Renters do not maintain there living space as well.
What is to stop investors from buying homes and building ADUs on the property. The same could be
done by be existing home owners. Build the ADU then move out and rent both units or more.
Again very bad idea. Great way to be turn bremerton into a third class junker city.

Bremerton City Council,
We are NOT in favor of allowing single-family residential homes to have 2 accessory dwelling units in
addition to a private resident in Bremerton. Bremerton has always been so much better to live in then
Seattle due to nicer neighborhoods that are less crowded. Overcrowding adds to more stress and crime.
There are many walkers on our neighborhood street where additional traffic due to additional dwellings
could hurt our walkers and/or their pets. Also, it would be an increase in noise. We understand it is a
way for the city to increase their funding revenue, but we think the city should use their outlying areas
for more homes or increase the size, if possible from the county.

Mayor Wheeler, City Council Members and Citizens of Bremerton,
My name is Matthew Adams, and with my family we reside in District 5. I am in favor of ADUs (Auxillary
Dwelling Units). But I do not believe this will solve the issue of affordable housing within Bremerton.
Since the City of Bremerton currently allows for ADUs to be built, at an average of 2 a year, is this really
the issue?
By its very definition affordable housing is "housing which is deemed affordable to those with a median
household income." The median household income for Bremerton is $54,000. That's not a lot. Is the real
issue the amount of homes available, or the median household income?
On 30 Oct 2017, during the debate at the Admiral Theatre hosted by Kitsap Sun writer Josh Farley,
Michael Goodnow stated "I am PRO affordable housing!" And yet, since
being elected what has Councilman Goodnow done to further the issue of affordable housing in
Bremerton? Nothing. But he has focused solely on using his position to further his personal interests, as
well as leverage his special interest groups into positions to benefit from the Citizens of Bremerton. That
sounds like his "White Privilege, lots of it"
Speech from July 2020 is on full display now for the public to witness for themselves.
We have families in District 5 that do not meet the threshold for the Bremerton median household
income. For the families who do not meet this criteria, this holiday season
will be a difficult, and challenging time. Everyday life for them is a struggle. These families, as well as
others throughout Bremerton are hungry, broken and looking for
relief to help their families. Despite this, Councilman Goodnow has 3 Christmas trees in his home on full
display for the public. Honestly, it's a slap in the face
to those who walk by his home, and are unable to provide for themselves. This shows how out of touch
Councilman Goodnow is with his constituents, Citizens of Bremerton and with the affordable housing
issue in Bremerton. Another example of "White Privilege, lots of it" to quote the Councilman himself.
On 30 Oct 2020, Councilman Goodnow went on the "Heilman & Haver Podcast" to promote his personal
agenda. This clip is available on Youtube, as well as Twitter. I encourage the public to watch the clip. No
COVID-19 protocols were being followed, and this was during a time when the business he was hosting
the interview in was actually shut down to the public. No masks, no social distancing, just Michael doing
what he does best: promote himself at the expense of the Citizens of Bremerton.
I want to thank Mayor Wheeler and the City Council Members who demanded to hear from their
constituents prior to casting their votes. You get it. You understand, and you allow for the Citizens of
Bremerton to be heard. For those of you who don't want to listen to the voters in your districts, your
true colors are showing. Do not forget, you were voted into this position to listen first, vote second.

If Bremerton Lives Matter to you, then help out the families who helped put you where you are today

of your December wages from your elected positions and donating that not to a special interest group
that you have ties to, but to the Citizens of Bremerton who are hungry, and struggling during this
holiday season. May your conscience be your guide.
Happy Holidays to you all and your families.

Bremerton City Council:
I am writing in regards to the proposed ADU amendment to the BMC. Like many of you know, I
am a Libertarian who strongly believes in private property rights. That said, I am not opposed to
ADUs as a whole; rather, certain aspects of this proposal concern me.
In the last eight months, I have walked the Madrona Point neighborhood almost every
day. One of the good things about my daily ramble is that I have become very well acquainted
with my neighbors and the 100+ homes in our small community.
Owner occupancy
Yesterday, I spoke with several people of varying political viewpoints. They had mixed opinions
about the number of ADUs, but all strongly agreed that the owner should live on the property.
Over the years, I have fielded constituents' calls. Many involve an absentee landlord who only
worries about getting paid. If the owner lived on the site, they would care about loud noises in
the wee hours of the morning, guns shots/fireworks, aggressive dogs, vehicles on the front lawn -
- all things that have been issues.
Lack of transparency and the appearance of “under the table” deals
The City’s notification in regards to this change reminds me of the section in Douglas Adams’
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
“But the plans were on display…”
"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to
find them."
"That's the display department."
"With a flashlight."
"Ah, well, the lights had probably gone."
"So had the stairs."
"But look, you found the notice, didn't you?"
"Yes," said Arthur, "yes, I did. It was on display in the
bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused
lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the
Leopard."
The comic satire reflects the City’s notification to Bremerton homeowners. Last week,
the mayor said to go out to the various community groups. Despite the obvious fact we are in a
stay-at-home order and cannot interface in person, I have attended several community Zoom
meetings and never heard anything about this change.
Attachment 2 - Public Comments for ADUs

This issue came to my attention, not as one would have supposed (from my husband);
rather, an acquaintance told me about it. He is a large Kitsap County home developer and
informed me that he recently had several meetings with the mayor to get the new ADU
amendment passed. He builds $500k+ homes, which I have no problem with since my father was
a high-end home builder, but do not be fooled into thinking my friend and other developers plan
to build low-income homes. My father found out years ago that there is much more profit in
high-end homes.
The question will likely be denied, but I suspect that developers have permit packages
ready to submit the moment this passes. Once "the genie is out of the bottle," I see no way
stricter requirements could be later imposed. The unintended consequences are numerable.
Illegal ADUs
During my daily walks, I was surprised to discover the number of ADUs (rented basements,
garages, and separate structures), almost all “illegal” under the current code. City officials made
it clear that they have no intention of curbing illegal ADUs, which begs the question: WHY
HAVE RULES/ZONING CODE? It is like speed limits but no enforcement…
Affordable Housing by design rather than this 'Band-aid approach'
Affordable housing could have been addressed in the redevelopment of Anderson Cove, which
the Bremerton Planning Commission favored, yet the council failed to approve. As a regular
watcher of the city council meetings, you could have addressed the affordable housing issue this
time last year by rezoning the Anderson Cove area into a higher density. Ironically, those who
strongly support affordable housing voted against it. That was an opportunity when you could
have made a beneficial long-term solution for the housing shortage. The West Park
redevelopment is another example of creating a deliberate positive rezoning of an area to
increase affordable housing. This current proposal is like applying an infected band-aid to treat a
heart attack – it will not fix the problem but makes the situation worse.
Parking Issues
Bremerton has long had a parking problem. You formed task forces, made proposals, yet the
issue continues. Adding more residents will exasperate the problem. Assuming that a vehicle will
park in a garage is invalid. Especially with smaller homes, garages are often used as a storage
unit rather than a parking place. If the city encourages residents to park on the street that hinders
large emergency vehicles a quick approach to those in need, tragic consequences will occur.
Please consider that your actions could dramatically harm our residential neighborhoods.

Please lift ordinances on ADUs to help our elderly, young people just starting out and low income
citizens afford safe, sanitary and affordable housing. This is such an obvious solution to the housing
shortage that one wonders why changes were shot down in 2017. With still no real plan for getting covid
under control as we don't have enough vaccines for everyone, many people are facing homelessness at
no fault of their own plus most of us are an emergency away from becoming homeless to begin with.
We need to implement all the housing solutions available at this time.

Subject: Accessory Dwelling Units
City Council,
I reside in District 6 and saw the article about Accessory Dwelling Units in the Kitsap Sun and even
though the author has some valid points, he completely neglects others. I've owend my home at 1910
N. Wycoff Ave for almost 20 years now. I have a Duplex on one side of my house and a house with an
ADU on the other. I've had almost 2 decades of experience with renters and landlords as well a have
seen the effects that multiple ADU's have on a neighborhood. If you are familiar with Callow, north of
15th, you know that there are several houses with ADU's in that neighborhood. Parking is atrocious, the
street looks like a used car lot most times of the day. I had this problem where I live, my trash didn't get
picked up for 3 weeks because the renters in the ADU's take no responsibility for the neighborhood that
they live in and park wherever they want, and that I have found is the main problem that the author is
ignoring. Renters, probably mostly good people, don't take any responsibility for the neighborhood that
they live in. I've had a few good renter/neighbors, but the vast majority have not been good
neighbors. You can't place complete blame for this on the landlord, try as they might, when they get
someone who appears at first to be a good renter but then turns out to be terrible, it takes them
months to evict that person and the whole while the neighborhood suffers. By allowing more ADU's
into a neighborhood that was designed to be a single family home neighborhood you increase parking
issues, noise complaint issues, traffic issues, and the ones who suffer are the homeowners who live in
those neighborhoods. I believe a better resolution to the housing shortage would be more
condiminiums or apartments in the downtown core, somewhere that is designed to have high density,
not turning somewhere that wasn't designed to be high density into a high density area.
Thanks for your time.

Hi there,
I'm emailing to voice my support for the proposed changes to the ADU code. I agree with all of the
proposed code changes: amending the parking requirements, reducing or removing the design
standards, allowing 2 ADU's per lot, removing owner occupancy, revising max size limits, and allowing
certain non-conforming units to be converted for use as ADUs.

ADU's are a great way to expand housing in our cute little city, and we definitely need that. ADU's are
needed and wanted!
I believe that the rules around parking (see below) should be relaxed:
(h) Accessory dwelling units shall provide one (1) off-street parking space in addition to that
which is required for the principal unit. When adding an ADU, all driveways and areas used for
loading, parking, and maneuvering vehicles on the parcel shall have a paved surface.
I also believe that the design standards should be relaxed as well so that they do not have to match the
existing home:
(f) Any ADU shall be designed so that the appearance of the building remains that of a single-
family residence and should architecturally blend into the existing neighborhoods through careful
design.
Thank you so much,

requirements
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.
Greetings,
My husband and I are currently in the beginning planning stages of building an ADU on our property
within Bremerton city limits and cannot be more happy that the city council is meeting to discuss the
current requirements! We will definitely be viewing the council meeting scheduled tomorrow.
I did want to suggest one comment/question for consideration by the city council as it does relate to
current requirements.
One topic for discussion is to remove the requirement for adding an additional dedicated off-street
parking spot if adding one ADU, which is an update we strongly support. My concern pertains to the
requirements for the primary single-family dwelling.
I see that regardless of the purposed changes to 20.46.010 for parking, the primary must still comply
with BMC 20.48. I reviewed 20.48.060 and also confirmed with the city Planning Department that the
parking for the single family residence would be required to meet code: two paved, off-street parking
spaces, a minimum of 8 x 18 feet. This will be a condition of approval of the ADU building permit (& the
paving would need to be completed before Final Occupancy).
Our property already has two dedicated off-street parking spots, however it is currently gravel. The cost
for paving the existing parking spots is a large expense (approx. $5,000) and we are questioning the
need to have them paved. While paving is a nice improvement, we would like the city council to review
the requirement for it to be paved and if that requirement can be waived in place of using a different
material, such as gravel.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi city council,
I'm writing in support of ADUs. Our region is changing, lots of people are moving to Bremerton. We need
lots of options to house them.
Big apartment complexes? Great. Vast tracks of new suburban housing? Sure. But here within the core
of the city, we can provide relatively inexpensive homes, and opportunities for home owners to create
additional sources of revenue.
I live next to an ADU in my home on Naval. I like having an extra set of eyes on the street. I can't really
think of a downside.
Please support ADUs.
Thanks,

Subject: PRO Proposed ADU Regulations
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.
Dear Council Members,
I am writing in support of the proposed changes to ADU regulations. My boyfriend and I bought and
restored two historic homes on one lot in the Union Hill neighborhood neighborhood. Our tenants in the
backyard cottage now enjoy a lovely, efficient, stand-alone home for reasonable rent ($1,100) with
water/sewer/garbage paid. If allowed a third unit, we'd contemplate finishing off a basement suite and
renting it out, too. There's always ample street parking and it's an easy walking/biking/transit distance
to downtown, the yard and the ferries.
Attached and detached ADUs have always been a part of Bremerton's housing stock. Bremerton has
many a backyard cottage or house with basement suite, sometimes even on the same lot! The proposed
changes will bring about more affordable housing, and incentivize homeowners and landlords alike to
help solve our housing crunch. The extra income from ADUs can help homebuyers qualify for a
mortgage, make their payments and pay down their homes sooner, as well as provide a little extra
income in retirement.
An owner-occupancy requirement doesn't do anything to create more affordable housing stock, and it's
ill-suited to a town where military members and DOD employees are often on the move. I understand
concerns about slumlords, but that can be managed through code enforcement. It's not like run-down
old housing stock can magically multiply - any newly-created units would need to go through permitting
anyhow, so they'd be safe, and, well, new.
I look forward to Wednesday's meeting and hope the council says yes to more affordable housing
options!

Bremerton city council,
My partner and I write to you to express our support for the proposed ADU changes to Bremerton's
code.
Adding housing via ADUs will allow Bremerton to grow in a responsible manner. As Seattle and the PNW
region continue to grow in population, we should expect and plan for Bremerton to grow as well. Adding
more units within occupied land will allow us to grow without expanding Bremerton's footprint. With
increased density, more residents will be able to walk to work, and our metro systems will be more
efficient.
We can't pretend that Bremerton can stay single-family-residential forever. This region will only become
more incorporated with Seattle and the surrounding economy. Without responsible city planning, we
will continue to see ballooning housing prices (only adding to our homelessness crisis) and congested
streets.
I hope you all agree that this proposal represents a first step towards a new urban approach to
Bremerton's design.
Please reply for any further clarification on our stance.
Claire and William Trettin

Hello,
I just wanted to say that I am extremely excited to see the changes to the current ADU regulations!
As our family ages we want to be prepared to transition our elderly into a place that still rockers them
independence but still have us close enough for peace of mind!!!
I look forward to seeing the regulations ease up enough to make this possible for a lot of families in our
situation!!
Not to mention as our little city continues to grow this will offer possible dwelling units to young people
in college or couples just starting out.
Maximize the potential of properties that can support this type of situation and it would greatly benefit
everyone all the way around!!!

Councilmembers,
Although not perfect, I support passage of Ordinance No. 5410 as recommended by the Planning
Commision to amend Bremerton Municipal Code Section 20.46.010 entitled “Accessory Dwelling Units.”
As a seventeen year resident, taxpayer, property owner and former elected official, I take special
interest in the potential of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to positively affect the housing situation in
Bremerton. In 2017, after I left the City Council and during my medical incapacitation, the Council under
Eric Younger's control, amended the BMC to make the ADU code more draconian rather than reduce
restrictions on ADU development.
I commend the Planning Commission and city staff for their efforts this past year to work through the
issues regarding the ADU code, analyze other city's ADU rules, solicit and consider input from citizens
and concerned groups and craft proposed amendments to the BMC that would achieve the following:
1) reduces the cost of development of ADUs; 2) allows for an increase in housing stock WITHOUT direct
taxpayer subsidy; 3) reduces the need to create additional impervious surface by reducing the parking
requirement; 4) brings ADU design criteria into conformity with design criteria for single family
residential development; 5) brings the BMC into conformity with "Washington State Legislature passed
House Bill 1923, which provides incentivized recommendations for jurisdictions to amend local zoning
codes relating to housing, with one recommendation concerning ADU standards" and 6) helps restore
and preserve private property rights.
I call on all of you to vote to pass Ordinance No. 5410 as recommended by the Planning Commission to
amend Bremerton Municipal Code Section 20.46.010 entitled “Accessory Dwelling Units.”

concerns about shady landlords and ill managed rentals can be managed through code

Subject: ADU Code Change
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.
Dear Councilors,
There are six main code changes being considered by Council: I disagree with the addition of a second
ADU, and vehemently object to permitting owners to live off site.
1. Number of ADUs per property — 1 required by State law, 2 proposed by City.
I disagree with the addition of a second ADU on a property. This changes the whole character of the
property and its neighborhood, in the same way that a date is changed by the addition of a little
brother, or any one-on-one is changed by adding a third person. Most Bremerton lots would have a very
tough time squeezing in 2,000 square feet of additional building (see #2, below). Were this two tiny
houses, I would be 100% on board, but 1,000 square feet is a 3-bedroom house. Two of those is a whole
lot of extra to tack on.
2. ADU size — see above. If we adhere to HB1923, any lot with two ADUs of 1000 sf or more will have
virtually no green space, as well as increased traffic & parking. Sewage from this much square footage
will put additional strain on an aging system designed primarily for single-family homes.
3. ADU design — I have no comment on this.
4. ADU parking. — This doesn’t make sense to me, as so much of Bremerton parking is on-street. I
would like clarification. Is the proposal to create off-street parking for the ADU? In 2019, was it not the
code policy to require 2 off-street parking spaces for the main house, and 1-2 spaces for the ADU?
5. ADU Owner required to live on-site — proposed change to owner no longer required to live onsite.
I disagree with this very strongly indeed. When the landlord lives on-site, tensions between renters
& owners can be quickly resolved, and may never even escalate to conflict, since owners are interested
in maintaining property value AND in maintaining decent relations among neighbors. These incentives
disappear once the owner leaves the site. What the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve over. Why
should you care about your neighborhood if you don’t live in it?
Many, many Bremertonians are interested in having an ADU — adding a story or building a separate
structure. Every one I’ve spoken to is interested in having a small rental that they can oversee, or having
a separate space for extended family members. Once you permit owners to live off-site, you pull out the
essential element that ensures neighborhood continuity. It’s already tough enough to keep
neighborhoods whole in a city where so many residents are here between tours or contracts, or only
using Bremerton as a bedroom community. Removing homeowners and replacing them at random with
multiple renters is just a bad, very bad, not good idea.
6. Nonconforming ADUs —
This sounds like each existing structure will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Is that correct? If
so, that sounds fine to me.
Attachment 2 - Public Comments for ADUs

Bremerton needs housing badly. It needed it badly before the pandemic; now, with so many
unemployed or seriously under-employed, housing is a vital necessity. I myself think that the $215,000
spent on five brand-new police vehicles would have been better spent on rental assistance, or housing
creation. However, I digress. I am a strong proponent of ADUs. Permitting one ADU per lot would
gradually and certainly change a neighborhood’s density and character over time. Permitting two ADUs
would change neighborhoods abruptly and drastically, especially when combined with the owners’
absence. There may be absentee landlords of multiple low-income properties who care for their
properties and their renters as if they lived on the properties in question. I, however, have yet to meet
such landlords.
There were a number of proposals presented in spring/summer 2019 for increasing housing in our town,
like the cottage / townhouse style on view at 15th and Snyder, or adding a story to some of the many
duplexes around town, or the townhouses built at 15th and Lafayette. All of these are well-designed and
serve as infill. There are also many empty commercial structures in Bremerton. These could be
converted to housing and would certainly have plenty of parking! Tiny house villages on these extensive
parking lots would be temporary structures that could ease the transition while new housing policies are
calmly debated, thoughtfully designed, and implemented with plenty of oversight. Having a roof
overhead is a certain good. I truly hate to disagree with the Mayor, and with many housing advocates,
but I think that preserving the connections among the people in our neighborhoods will keep all of us
safer, and more engaged with the well-being of our town.
Thank you for taking the time to review my comments, and may we find a way to house our fellow
human beings quickly, surely, and warmly.
Yours,

Hello Council Members,
I am writing to express my support of easing the restrictions on ADUs in the City of Bremerton so that
more can be built.
I lived in two ADUs in Houston, Texas, and they were economical and decent dwellings. One was an
apartment built on the back of an existing house, and the other was a garage apartment. The garage
apartment was preferable, I thought, because I had privacy. In the other situation, I frequently had
contact with the homeowners. This can be ok, but it's better to be able to come and go without
landlord-tenant interaction, as a general rule. So in my opinion, some privacy regarding tenant exit and
egress should be included in the design of the dwelling.
I have seen a lot of ADUs in other cities. They are generally quaint, even picturesque. Landscaping helps
unify the dwelling into the lot and the neighborhood.
If we build a lot of ADUs in Bremerton, there will be a need for more cafes and stores -- not a bad thing!
Further, we will be able to absorb a few more working people to fit in to what has been traditionally a
working class city. Navy people can rent an ADU and become part of the culture.
I rent out a room in my home, since I no longer use my second floor. This has been a very satisfactory
arrangement. I think other citizens of Bremerton will benefit from the opportunity for ADUs.
Please let me know if you have any questions about my thoughts on this subject.

Thanks for the email with the proposal details and the opportunity to provide input via email.
I would like to understand the purpose of the new ADU rules? Is it to provide denser housing? More
housing? Low income housing? Homeless housing?
With the limited public transit in Bremerton most people are still using cars. The streets in union hill at
least are crowed with cars. At times our recycle has not been collected due to cars making the street
too narrow for the trucks to pass. I am in favor of providing more low and homeless housing but no in
allowing landlords to add that many more families with cars. You cannot assume each ADU will add just
one car.
Parking is really my only concern with this proposal. I am fine with making more housing available
especially low income. But adding more cars to the streets is really not an option. there is no where to
place them. Could we modify the proposal to restrict the number of cars at each tax parcel no matter
how many ADUs? Or perhaps to a survey of how many street parking spaces are available on each block
and limit the number of additional ADUs to the number of spaces?
It would be great to hear the main issues driving these changes.
Thanks!

Subject: ADU's Feb 17 meeting
City Council,
Received an e-mail from Isaac Gloor about the upcoming ADU meeting. So, basically what I get
out of it is you want more tax money and don't care about the homeowners. From reading the
proposal you want to make the property not be owner occupied. So homeowners get to deal with
absentee landlords. Got it. You want to make 2 ADU's per property as opposed to the current
one. Let's turn a single family neighborhood into a high density neighborhood, once again sticking
it to the people who bought a home in a low density neighborhood who now get to deal with
renters who have no skin in the game and don't care about the property or their neighbors. Got it.
You want to make it so no parking is required for the first ADU, so homeowners get to deal with
streets crammed with cars from people who do not own the property and who do not care about
the homeowners that have to deal with the increased traffic and streets looking like a used car lot.
Got that too. To reiterate from my previous e-mail on this topic. I've lived in a neighborhood,
Callow North of 15th, that has several ADU's and I have a house with an ADU right next to me.
Streets are crammed with cars, my trash didn't get picked up for 3 weeks due to renters blocking
the street, parking is a constant struggle. With IMPARK not working the weekend or nights when
you have a parking issue you're basically out of luck. As you can read, I am not a fan of your
proposals. I didn't buy my single family house to have the neighborhood I live in turned into an
even more crowded multi-family neighborhood.

Subject: 2 ADUs per lot

Given the fact that the City just amended the Codes to allow one ADU per lot, it makes sense to see how
effective that is before allowing two,
We don't know parking impacts per neighborhood and we don't know what rents will look like next year
after so many apartment projects are brought on line. There are huge developments that will be coming
on line in 2021 and early 2022 that will add hundreds if not a thousand of units to our housing market:
Think of the Bay Vista Area (over 200 units); the developments behind WINCO (320 units) and Goodwill
(200 more est.); the Marina Square development (280 units); the Burwell Apartments that are nearly
complete (56 units); the permitted units across from Bay Bowl; the Eight Street and Warren Avenue
units; the 25 units permitted at the corner of Burwell and Warren; the 22 units permitted on 5th Street;
and the 70 plus units permitted by Kitsap Mental Health.
All these additional units plus the recently passed ADU allowances, creates a huge increase in
housing. It would be prudent to wait 12 to 18 months to see what all this development has on the
affordability of housing costs. I suspect it will provide a downward pressure on rents and increase
affordability.
Through basic management principles, you should wait to see what happens based on the current ADU
ordinance changes before changing things again. Otherwise, how will you know if the first change was
effective; causes additional problems; or needs any modifications?
Our City has struggled with rental problems for years. It only takes one bad rental problem to make a
neighborhood unsafe and undesirable (We have lived through it and moved because of it). There are
lots of things in motion right now. The prudent step would be to slow down and to measure what is
taking place instead of rushing into changes that can affect our neighborhoods for decades.

Subject: Agenda item A14 : Proposed Public Hearing on Ordinance amending Section 20.46.010 of the
Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) to allow two Accessory Dwelling Units per Single Family Lot
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments

To Whom it May Concern,
I SUPPORT allowing up to two ADUs on a residential lot.
I OPPOSE requiring an additional off-street parking space for the second ADU. A dedicated parking spot
for the occupant(s) of an ADU should be treated as an amenity. Leave the decision to provide a parking
spot for a second ADU up to the property owner.
I OPPOSE imposing affordability criteria and creation of an accompanying bureaucratic process and
structure as a condition of allowing a second ADU on a lot. Please explain where the Bremerton
Municipal Code requires that any single family residence, built on a privately-owned lot, must be
"affordable."
I SUPPORT the creation of a requirement that all members of the Bremerton City Council and the
occupant of the mayor's office demonstrate knowledge and understanding of microeconomics,
specifically how the principle of supply and demand affects the price of goods and services.
Regards,
Public Hearing
