What is the Comprehensive Plan?
The Comprehensive Plan is the 20-year
framework for local policy, planning, and capital
facility investment through the year 2044.
Washington State's Growth Management Act
(GMA) requires that Cities update their
Comprehensive Plan every 10 years. The
Comprehensive Plan is also revised on an
annual basis.
Why Do We Need a Comprehensive Plan?
Every community needs a vision. Historically, growth in Washington
State has led to issues of urban sprawl, loss of farmland, natural
resource degradation, and uncoordinated capital facilities.
In 1990, the Growth Management Act was passed, which required us
to plan for the future. The Plan will guide where housing and business
growth should occur, how that growth is served by transportation and
other infrastructure, and how we can enhance the natural environment
and community character.
Who Decides What The Plan Says?
With guidance from the Growth Management Act
(GMA), Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), Kitsap
Regional Coordinating Council (KRCC), and the
Department of Commerce, the Plan is required to meet
a variety of different requirements.
City Staff will engage the community to develop a vision
based on community goals and state and regional
requirements. A draft plan will be developed, and public
meetings will be held to collect public comments.
The Planning Commission will review and recommend to
staff, who will forward a recommendation to City
Council, who approves the final plan.

KRCC + Countywide Planning Policies
The countywide planning policies mirror Vision 2050's requirements but with
a couple of subtle differences.
In accordance with the PSRC's regional growth strategy, Port Orchard
negotiated population and employment targets with the other high transit
communities in Kitsap County (Poulsbo, Kingston, and Bainbridge).
Port Orchard's population and employment targets have been set at an
additional 10,500 people and 5,400 jobs from 2020 to 2044. In accordance
with the 2020 Buildable Lands Report, Port Orchard has the capacity for an
additional 16,250 people and 5,243 jobs.
2024 Periodic Update to the Comprehensive Plan for Port Orchard
• Must plan for population and employment targets.
• Must implement new GMA requirements.
• Must achieve PSRC certification.
• Must work with Kitsap County to review Urban Growth Boundaries.
• Must achieve consistency with countywide planning policies.
• Must ensure planned infrastructure capacity matches growth targets.
• Must plan for housing that is affordable to all incomes.
What is Included in a Comprehensive Plan?
A Comprehensive Plan is broken up into different elements. Each element has its
own goals and policies. The entire Comprehensive Plan will be reviewed and
updated with review to include the following elements or chapters:
• Land Use • Natural Systems • Utilities
• Housing • Climate • Transportation
• Parks • Economic Development • Capital Facilities
In addition, Port Orchard will have various Subarea Plans within the Comprehensive
Plan, which focus in more detail on areas across the City.
Port Orchard Current Visioning Documentation
1.2 2036 Targeted Outcomes
With continued hard work that is focused and coordinated in accordance with the goals and policies
in this comprehensive plan, Port Orchard will remain one of the best small cities in Washington
State. By carefully planning for the future, Port Orchard's increasing number of residents will enjoy
a sustained high quality of life that is founded upon its supportive community, healthy economy,
and pristine environment.
Using the community's vision for the future, by the year 2036 the City will have built upon these
positive attributes and will have achieved the following:
• The city has retained its small town character and strong community spirit.
• The historic downtown is more attractive and vibrant.
• More efficient patterns of development have reduced real per capita infrastructure costs.
• Housing has remained available to all members of the community, and the diversity of housing
types has expanded.
• Walking, biking, driving, and transit infrastructure make it easy to get around the city.
• The city's waterfront and open space resources are highly enjoyed by the community.
• Community organizations are better empowered to coordinate events and activities.
• Citizens enjoy a comfortable and productive relationship with city government.
• Citizens have access to well paying jobs, have short commutes, and choose to shop locally.
• Local businesses are supported by the community and government policies that promote
economic development.
• Citizens are better informed and connected to the planning process.
• The city's critical areas, shorelines and other natural resources are appropriately protected with
no net loss to critical areas and their functions, and where feasible critical areas and shorelines
are restored or enhanced.
• Native American cultural and historic resources (archeological sites) shall be protected with
conditions on development approvals that require identification and preservation of such sites
and notification to the state and the Suquamish Tribe.
• Impacts to natural systems are minimized while population and job growth targets are met.
1.3 Visioning. Connections
The city is defined by its physical and social environments and the ways in which they are
connected. This comprehensive plan seeks to lay out a vision for Port Orchard that is founded on
connectivity and the idea that stronger connections will ultimately lead to a stronger community. In
addition to meeting state laws, addressing local and regional planning goals, and serving as a record
of community input, this Plan seeks to bridge the specific goals and policies of the different
elements to the needs and desires of the community through this connections framework. It is
important to think of Port Orchard not just as its parts, but as a cohesive whole.
Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan
June2016
Port Orchard aims to improve the connections between land uses, housing, businesses,
transportation, and the natural environment and to promote a higher level of interaction between
the city government and citizens. There are some key ways in which this can be achieved.
Connections
Figure 1 -Conceptual diagram of the connections theme
• Connect individual neighborhoods to the greater city
• Connect people to the waterfront
• Connect people to downtown
• Connect downtown and the waterfront
• Connect people via land use choices that encourage meaningful interactions (i.e. housing
within walking distance to shops and restaurants that allows people to encounter and
interact with each other on the street)
• Connect separate areas of the city with a variety of transportation options
• Connect people to the history of the city through the built environment
• Connect neighborhoods to the regional trail network
• Connect parks to housing and to other parks
• Connect citizens and government officials
• Connect business and government through a high level of partnership and cooperation
• Connect identified wildlife habitat areas and corridors with greenbelts and other open space
areas.
• Connect the community to the natural environment through education and voluntary

major
step in our
public engagement
process, there
will
be
additional
opportunities to
provide feedback
Visioning Process
• Interactive Stations &Boards:
— Comprehensive Plan Target Statements
• 14 identified target statements that summarize
the community's desired outcomes in the current
Comprehensive Plan
• Target statements are related to Comprehensive
Plan Elements
• How are we doing in achieving these targets?
Visioning Process
• Confirming the City's progress on the Target Statements
is important because:
— They begin the community involvement process
— They guide our update work in the months ahead
— They focus on a positive future for Port Orchard
— They get to the core question —how does the
community want to grow and prioritize in the future?
Visioning Process
• Interactive Stations &Boards:
— Subarea Planning Efforts
• Examine 3 areas identified in the current
Comprehensive Plan as Countywide Centers
• Examine how growth can be focused in these areas
• Gather community input on the existing conditions
and future potential of these areas
Visioning Process
• Interactive Stations &Boards:
— Transportation Network
• Gather community input on the existing
conditions -where are things working well and
where could things improve?
• Consider not only vehicular/intersection
improvements, but also pedestrian and non -
motorized transportation methods
Next Steps
• Summary of Tonight's Workshop
• Apply Findings to Draft Plan Updates
• Prepare for Additional Public Engagement Opportunities and
Meetings, Including:
— Policy Workshop (anticipated late Spring 2023)
— Land Use Strategies Workshop (anticipated Summer 2023)
