09/11/2024 - PacketChapter 9. Capital Facilities 9-1. Introduction This periodic update to the Capital Facilities Element of the 2024 Comprehensive Plan provides information about the City's existing facilities and plans for future facilities needed to service the growing population. The Capital Facilities Element helps guide the City in providing appropriate facilities and desirable levels of service to its residents and businesses. The Capital Facilities Element reviews the general requirements and available funding, connects capital facilities planning to other functional plans, and reviews goals and policies that guide planning. It also provides an overview of the current capital facility portfolio and identifies future needs and investments for the next six years. The City of Port Orchard owns and manages a variety of capital facilities, which include roads, parks, utility Capital Facilities Vision systems, police facilities, and administrative buildings. Provide outstanding capital facilities to In addition to the facilities owned and managed by the serve the growing and changing city. City, there are publicly owned capital facilities managed by other entities. These include, but are not limited to, schools, library, sewage treatment, and public transit. Privately owned utilities (electrical, natural gas, and telecommunications) conduct their own planning processes and maintain their own system plans. The City influences private system planning through its authority to regulate land uses and its obligation to develop and maintain a Comprehensive Plan. The state requires the City to demonstrate comprehensive and coordinated planning for all capital facilities serving the City's residents, businesses, and community. The Public Facilities and Services Goal of the Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that the public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate at the time of occupancy and use, without decreasing service levels below locally established minimum standards. Kitsap County's Countywide Planning Policies also require the City to have a plan that ensures adequate facilities and services are or will be available to serve the City's employment and population growth allocations. If limited funding or other circumstances would prevent the city from providing adequate facilities and services, the GMA requires the city to re-evaluate the Land Use Element and make sure that plans for capital facilities and land use are consistent. Ensuring that public facilities are available when growth occurs is critical to the quality of life for Port Orchard's residents, businesses, and visitors. The implementation of the Capital Facilities Element and related plans will help realize the community's vision for community facilities, as well as the vision and goals of the Land Use Element. This Element also functions in coordination with the Comprehensive Plan's Utilities, Parks, and Transportation Elements and functional system plans for water, wastewater, and stormwater. These are discussed in more detail in Section 9-3 Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Capital facilities and functional plans guide planning and budgetary decisions. A list of capital facility improvements planned in the next six years are described in Section 9-3. The functional plans provide a complete facility inventory, as well as needs, projected costs, and funding sources. Financial Overview The City strategically manages community resources and carefully balances investments in new facilities and infrastructure with costs to maintain and operate existing facilities. Identifying costs and funding for capital projects planned in the next six years supports the development of the City's annual budget and provides a path toward implementing facility projects. The Capital Facilities Element uses many revenue sources to fund the capital improvement projects, including sales tax, business and occupation tax, utility rates, state revenues, bonds, and grants. Impact fees and other specific revenues allowed under the Growth Management Act also offer potential funding sources. A partial list of capital facilities funding sources and financing tools is included below: Tax Revenue • Property Tax • Retail Sales and Use Tax • Business License Fees • Real Estate Excise Taxes • Utility Tax (Electric, Water, Sewer, Refuse, Stormwater, Natural Gas, Telephone) • Other tax revenue may include lodging excise taxes, admission tax, liquor tax, transportation benefit district (TBD), and motor vehicle fuel taxes. Impact Fees • Transportation Impact Fees • Park Impact Fees • School Impact Fees (Transferred to South Kitsap School District pursuant to Interlocal Agreement) Enterprise Activities • System Development Fees (Capital Facility Charges, General Facility Fees, etc.) • Water User Fees/Rates • Sewer User Fees/Rates • Stormwater Utility Fees/Rates Bonds • General Obligation Bonds • Revenue Bonds • Levy Lid Lift Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Federal Funding Programs • Surface Transportation Program (STP) • Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) • Highway Bridge Program (HBP) • Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) • Safe Route to School Program (SRTS) • Transportation, Community, and System Preservation (TCSP) Program • Recreational Trails Program • Community Development Block Grants • Energy Retrofits for Public Buildings — Department of Commerce • Public Works Board funding — Department of Commerce • Climate Pollution Reduction Grants Washington State Funding Programs • Washington State Transportation Improvement Board • The Pedestrian Bicycle Safety Program • Public Works Board funding — Department of Commerce Planning Connections Capital improvement recommendations are drawn primarily from City leadership and the functional plans specific to each City department or facility type. Water, sewer, and stormwater have specific requirements according to state and federal law and planning for parks and recreation facilities is included in a parks focused functional plan. Each plan contains a system inventory and a forecast of demand and capacity based on population and regulatory mandates. The functional plans identify capital investments that replace or maintain existing facilities for continued service required to meet future demand for at least a 20-year period. The plans also define the customer service level for each facility and provide system - specific operating policies. Planning for capital facilities also coordinates with other agency efforts. For example, Port Orchard's capital facilities plan considers Kitsap County's plans to redevelop the governmental campus, invest in transportation infrastructure, etc. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Functional Plans The Capital Facilities Element highlights recommendations from the City's functional plans in the table below. These plans are adopted into the Capital Facilities Element by reference. FUNCTIONAL PLAN UPDATE FREQUENCY Water System Plan (2021) 10-year cycle, as needed Provides a basis for six -year capital improvement planning and forecasts 20-year needs General Sewer System Plan (2016) 6-10-year cycle, as needed Addresses aging infrastructure and system expansion to accommodate development; updates policies and practices, data, finances, and growth forecasts; Recommends improvements for the City's wastewater system Stormwater and Watersheds Comprehensive Plan (2023) 6-10-year cycle, as needed Establishes the city's storm and surface water policy Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Plan (2022) 6-10-year cycle, as needed Recommends 20-year capital project projects to guide growth and development of Port Orchard's parks and open space system. Transportation Improvement Program (2023) every 1-2 years, as needed Identifies improvements to the City's transportation network planned for the next six years as well as within a twenty-year horizon Future Needs While there are unique challenges in each functional area, aging infrastructure, compliance with new laws and regulations, and increased demand for services impact all Port Orchard's capital facilities plans. Aging Infrastructure. Some of Port Orchard's capital facilities are aging or inadequate for current service needs and will require repairs and replacement over the next 20 years. The costs of replacing utility infrastructure, roads, and municipal buildings can be substantial and take years to plan and implement. To get an accurate picture of capital facility needs, Port Orchard will conduct a comprehensive facility condition assessment (FCA). The FCA will highlight current deficiencies at the systems and facility level and projected repairs needed over the long term. It could include recommendations to prioritize preventative maintenance and develop a feasible schedule to address capital facility needs. The FCA is a critical first step to improve the way Port Orchard manages, maintains, and funds its capital facilities to be more resilient and cost-effective. New Laws and Regulations. Changing state and federal mandates governing capital facilities systems require the City to monitor and review its systems to ensure compliance. For example, requirements for implementing projects, programs, and maintenance continue to evolve and are more stringent than in 2007 when the City received its first National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Stormwater Permit (NPDES), a Federal Clean Water Act mandate that affects programs citywide. The City operates in accordance with the 2024-2029 General Permit (Ecology 2024). The 2024 General permit Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 includes numerous requirements including but not limited to the adoption of the 2024 Stormwater Manual for Western Washington; updates to the City's development regulation, operations, mapping, and public outreach; and a source control, inspection, and reporting program. The City intends to comply with all 2024 General Permit conditions in accordance with the timelines specified therein. Increased Demand. Capital facility investments will also be needed to ensure the City continues to deliver the high -quality municipal services customers expect and keep pace as the community grows and changes. Increased demand for services will also require investing in capital facilities across all functional areas. To plan to meet future service demands, the City should conduct a citywide facilities study. Building on findings from the facility condition assessment, this plan will assess current and future space needs, recommend investments to address critical near -term deficiencies, and develop an implementation strategy to provide facilities needed to serve the Port Orchard community into the future. This plan will consider facilities investments to better serve the community that could potentially include expanding the downtown civic campus, investing in appropriately sized public works and police facilities, and increasing investments in maintenance and operations of City parks and throughout the portfolio. Partner Efforts. The Port Orchard community benefits from its proximity to centers for recreation, open space, and sports fields outside City limits and/or owned and managed by other agencies or groups, such as the South Kitsap School District and Kitsap County. Creating and strengthening regional partnerships enable Port Orchard and its partners to provide greater facilities and opportunities than would be possible alone. The City should coordinate with and support these non -city service providers, such as school districts, libraries, and solid waste processors, as they plan for new or improved facilities, for example Kitsap County's campus redevelopment. The City of Port Orchard is already working with Kitsap County and other nearby jurisdictions to implement the 2001 Mosquito Fleet Trail Master Plan to expand a regional water trail including shoreline access with launch points, rest areas, and parking facilities. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 9-2. Goals and Policies The goals and policies for Port Orchard's capital facilities align with the Comprehensive Plan vision and build on the goals and policies in each Element. Goal 1. Ensure that infrastructure, facilities, and services are adequate to meet present and future needs. Policy CF-1 Establish minimum levels of service (LOS) and regularly monitor and update standards for staffing and public facilities to reflect community preferences for quality -of -service delivery and align with functional plans. Correct LOS deficiencies through capital improvements. Policy CF-2 Require that urban level facilities and services are provided prior to or concurrent with development. These services include, but are not limited to, transportation infrastructure, parks, potable water supply, sewage disposal, stormwater and surface water management, and solid waste management. Policy CF-3 Facilitate adequate planning for services and facilities by coordinating with utility providers on annual updates of population, employment, and development projections. Encourage providers to improve accessibility to public services by making information available, convenient, and complete. Policy CF-4 Address disparities in historically underserved populations by ensuring transportation, utilities, telecommunications, and other infrastructure are equitably distributed and maintained, and that siting or expansion of essential public facilities does not unduly affect any one group of people or geographic area. Policy CF-S Maintain an inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities. Policy CF-6 Acquire property sufficient to provide capital facilities at established levels of service, according to the deficiencies and needs provided in the City's functional plans. Policy CF-7 Ensure that new growth and development pay a fair, proportionate share of the cost for facilities needed to serve such growth and development. Seek to reduce the per unit cost of facilities and services by coordinating improvements such as utilities and roads and encouraging urban intensity development within the City and Urban Growth Areas. Goal 2. Leverage facilities investments to efficiently use public resources and improve quality of life. Policy CF-8 Direct growth within the community where adequate public facilities exist or can be efficiently provided when feasible. Policy CF-9 Encourage the joint use of utility corridors for open space and non -motorized pathways and trails, provided that such joint use is consistent with limitations prescribed by applicable law and prudent utility practice. Coordinate and cooperate with other jurisdictions to Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 encourage cooperative planning of future facilities, reduce redundancy, and implement multijurisdictional utility facility expansions and improvements. Policy CF-10 Explore opportunities to acquire land to serve the public and municipal purposes. Policy CF-11 Consider developing multi -use facilities that can serve more than one public need. Explore opportunities for public/private partnerships and funding sources that could provide a mix of public facilities and other uses such as commercial and residential within the same development, where appropriate. Policy CF-12 Consider investing in sidewalks, trails, and other capital facilities that enhance walkability in an effort to reduce health disparities and improve well-being and quality of life. Policy CF-13 Design and locate capital facility improvements to reduce crime risks and optimize public safety through increased visibility at joint use facilities (e.g., streets, public buildings, etc.). Policy CF-14 Ensure that site selection, construction, operation, and maintenance of capital facilities is environmentally sensitive, safe and reliable, aesthetically compatible with surrounding land uses, economical to consumers, and does not adversely impact marginalized communities. Goal 3. Equitably engage with the community around capital facilities planning. Policy CF-15 Provide meaningful inclusive opportunities for community involvement in the planning of capital facilities, prioritizing the inclusion of historically underrepresented populations. Policy CF-16 Coordinate with local Tribes in planning capital facilities, especially in areas with cultural significance. Policy CF-17 Encourage public awareness and consult public input when considering the need for and proposed locations of new public facilities. Goal 4. Develop and maintain adequate and convenient parks, recreation, and open space areas and facilities for all age groups to serve both the existing and future population of Port Orchard and surrounding areas. Policy CF-18 Encourage private property owners and developers to donate public trail access and parcels for park development in areas identified for future municipal parks and trail connections. Policy CF-19 Increase the size and number of parks and open spaces by providing input on development plans for public parks within Port Orchard's Urban Growth Boundary. Policy CF-20 Reevaluate the City's park impact fee at least every four years to ensure that the fee is appropriate based on the City's LOS for parks acquisition, improvement, and maintenance. Policy CF-21 Collaborate with Kitsap County to explore forming a Municipal Parks District to help fund and develop community and neighborhood scale parks throughout the city and Urban Growth Area. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Policy CF-22 Encourage implementation of the 2022 PROS Plan that outlines a citywide system of trails that will serve park, recreation, and open space needs. Link a system of trails between neighborhoods and parks, school sites, and other public property. Utilize public lands and existing rights -of -way for trail purposes whenever feasible. Policy CF-23 Place interpretive signs along trails to encourage community, historical, and environmental awareness, and place distance markers along the trail for walkers and runners. Policy CF-24 Create new parks in recently annexed areas and update existing parks within newly annexed portions of the City. Policy CF-25 In conjunction with partners, develop the Port Orchard Community Events Center as a recreational and civic amenities hub for Port Orchard and the South Kitsap region. Goal 5. Ensure that an adequate water supply is available to support the level of population growth and land development projected within the City. Policy CF-26 Maintain water system facilities and drinking water quality in accordance with State and Federal standards to ensure the high quality of drinking water and level of service is provided to all customers while maximizing the life of facilities to protect the investment of ratepayers. Policy CF-27 Provide adequate water for high quality domestic and fire protection service within the retail service area. Policy CF-28 Utilize City -owned and operated sources of supply to maximize efficiency and cost effectiveness of the water system. Policy CF-29 Construct new facilities as required to serve the existing and future populations of the established water service area and South Kitsap Urban Growth Area. Policy CF-30 Interconnect the City's main water system with the independent facilities serving the City's 580 and 660 Pressure Zones (McCormick Woods System). This will allow for combining the two existing systems under one water system identification number. Policy CF-31 Encourage, implement, and maintain land use and water use efficiency and conservation programs to discourage water waste, promote the prudent use of water resources, and support protection of habitat and the environment. Policy CF-32 Work with neighboring water utilities, participate in regional water planning efforts to establish common goals of uniform water system standards, and facilitate coordination of efforts toward the adequate provision of water service throughout the region. Policy CF-33 Revise water service boundaries in cases where the designated water service provider cannot provide timely or reasonable service. Policy CF-34 Ensure that land uses permitted in aquifer recharge areas do not lead to contamination of water resources. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Policy CF-35 Encourage new developments adjacent to properties with private wells or existing septic systems to connect to the City's water system or, if not feasible, ensure that adverse impacts to existing wells or septic systems from new development is avoided or mitigated. Goal 6. Provide safe, reliable, and timely sewer service to consumers at a fair and reasonable price. Policy CF-36 Coordinate construction of sewage improvements with other utilities. The City shall require all new development to connect to public sewer and water systems, unless physically or financially infeasible. Goal 7. Ensure that all utility and transportation infrastructure expansion provides an adequate level of public service to support new development and is consistent with current land use plans and development regulations. Policy CF-37 Utilize best construction methods and practices and innovative techniques in the design and construction of utilities. Policy CF-38 Evaluate, monitor, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the construction and operation of capital facilities. Policy CF-39 Whenever possible, utility construction should be scheduled to minimize disruption of access to area residences and businesses. Policy CF-40 Schedule utility construction activities to avoid sensitive times in the lifecycle of fish and wildlife, such as spawning, nesting, and migration. Goal 8. Minimize development related impacts to existing hydrologic conditions and functions and strive to correct current deficiencies resulting from past development practices such as stormwater-related flooding. Policy CF-41 Identify areas within and adjacent to the City and its UGA which are highly sensitive to changes in hydrologic conditions and functions. Within these highly sensitive areas, establish standards that provide for near zero change in hydraulic and hydrologic function on a property, such as no net increase in the peak flow or volume of runoff or erosion products leaving a site post- development. Policy CF-42 Encourage Low Impact Development (LID) strategies for stormwater management through incentives and flexibility in application of regulatory requirements. Policy CF-43 Utilize new inventories of flood hazard -prone properties in the decision -making process to prioritize stormwater system improvements. Policy CF-44 Coordinate the basin planning process with the community planning process to address surface water runoff and flooding issues. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Policy CF-45 Integrate public regional stormwater detention and retention facilities into the natural environment. Policy CF-46 Recognize that regional facilities can provide aesthetics, recreation, and fish and wildlife habitat in a community park -like or open space setting. Goal 9. Support provision of adequate, timely, and efficient fire protection and emergency medical service within the City. Policy CF-47 Coordinate with South Kitsap Fire and Rescue on planning for the location of new fire stations to ensure that they are dispersed throughout the City and located near areas of high population concentration. Policy CF-48 Encourage consolidation of duplicate services between fire districts and other entities to use resources more effectively. Goal 10. Coordinate land use and school district capital facilities planning. Policy CF-49 Recognize that schools provide a unifying social and physical amenity that are a key focus for successful neighborhoods. Encourage elementary schools to be located in or near neighborhood centers and middle schools, junior high schools and senior high schools to be located near community centers, including the McCormick Village Center. Policy CF-50 Support the South Kitsap School District School Board in maintaining and funding individual school levels of service as adopted and encourage proactive coordination around growth trends to support the district's demand forecasting (e.g. sharing permitting application data), in accordance with the City's intent to provide adequate school facilities for the community. Policy CF-51 Coordinate with the South Kitsap School District to develop strategies to ensure that students are not forced to attend a school outside their neighborhood. Policy CF-52 Review annual reports and update school impact fees as needed. Policy CF-53 Explore opportunities to develop joint use facilities with the South Kitsap School District, such as recreational and community center facilities. Develop neighborhood parks adjacent to school sites whenever possible to promote facility sharing. Facilities on the neighborhood park site should supplement uses that the school does not provide such as trails, open space, picnic areas, playground equipment, and multi -purpose paved sport courts. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 9-3. Capital Facilities This section addresses capital facilities in the following four categories: 1. Administration and Community Facilities 2. Public Safety Facilities 3. Public Works Facilities 4. Parks Facilities Each section contains a capital facilities inventory, summarizes key context and issues, recommends improvements, and proposes projects for the next six -year planning period, with estimated costs and potential funding sources. Administration and Community Fac This section first covers the facilities supporting City administration and the overall community. It also briefly covers the Fire Protection and Schools, community facilities that are owned and maintained by partner agencies. Inventory City Hall (includes Police Station & Municipal Court) 216 Prospect St 28,370 720 Prospect Street Facility (DCD) 720 Prospect St 2,925 Library 87 Sidney Ave 8,586 730 Prospect Street Facility (Kitsap County Prosecutor) 730 Prospect St 8,028 Employee Parking Lot (Gravel) 213 & 215 Prospect Street 6,500 Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Existing Conditions City Hall City Hall has served as the primary municipal building for Port Orchard's administrative functions since it was built in 1999. The building is approximately 28,370 square feet with three stories and a partial fourth floor. The first floor is occupied by the Police Department and the second floor by the Mayor's Office, City Clerk, Public Works Administration, and Finance. The City Council Chambers and Municipal Court are located on the third floor. Public Works operations staff are located in the Public Works Shop. Refer to Public Works Facilities and Public Safety Facilities sections for more information. City Hall is in good condition for its age and was renovated in 2024 to address needed repairs, security, and ADA accessibility, and improve the first floor. Condition and improvement information for the first floor is Figure 1: City Hall discussed in the Public Safety Facilities section. Even with these improvements, functional issues remain, including security concerns, challenging wayfinding, and limited parking. There is also not enough work and support space; for example, breakrooms have been repurposed as workspace and the Community Development Department was relocated due to space limitations. Municipal Court is rightsized to accommodate future growth. Planning for City Hall should consider the space needed to accommodate future growth and the operational efficiency gained by co -locating all departments. In response to a need for a new community event center and aligned with Policy CF-25, the City is in the process of designing the new Port Orchard Community Event Center. This new facility would have rentable event space for community programming. Designs also include space for the library to relocate. The City's Council Chambers could also be relocated if supported by leadership, which would free up space for use in City Hall. See the Library section below for more information on existing conditions and needs. 720 Prospect Street Facility The Department of Community Development (DCD) is in two facilities, one located adjacent to City Hall at 720 Prospect Street with Building, Code Enforcement, and Parking Enforcement functions (as well as the City's IT department), and one at 600 Kitsap Street with Planning functions. The Kitsap Street facility is leased. The Prospect Street facility is undersized for current and future operations and in fair condition, requiring maintenance to address age -related needs such as upgrades to the HVAC system. The division of staff between two buildings and separation from City Hall creates communication and operational inefficiencies. There is limited parking and City vehicles are parked at City Hall. The public interface also requires patrons to go between the Prospect Street facility and City Hall to complete applications. For pedestrians passing Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 between these two buildings, there are no crosswalks and limited ADA compliance. A downtown government campus master plan is needed to plan the long-term use of this site. Library Built in 1960, the City -owned library building houses the local branch of the Kitsap Public Library. The building is nearing the end of its useful life, is costly to maintain, and requires upgrades or relocation of the library functions. A 2020 site selection process identified a site for the new library and community events center. 730 Prospect Street Facility In 2024, the City purchased the building located at 730 Prospect Street that includes 20 surface parking spaces and houses the Kitsap County Prosecutor Figure 2: Kitsap Regional Library's Port Orchard branch Family Support Division. The Kitsap County Prosecutor plans to relocate to the new County Courthouse Campus in the long term, and this building can be repurposed to support the City's staffing and employee parking needs as it grows. A downtown government campus master plan is needed to plan for the long-term use of this site. Future Needs As Port Orchard's population has grown, City staffing has increased to maintain service standards and meet basic functional requirements. The following investments are needed: • In accordance with Policy CF-14, perform required maintenance at all administrative and community facilities. Consider conducting a facilities condition assessment to document current conditions and near- and long-term maintenance needs for all capital facilities. Develop a downtown government campus master plan to plan for the long-term use of the City's downtown offices and property. • Invest in the following near -term projects: o Improve wayfinding at City Hall by installing a centralized reception kiosk and improved signage. o Increase security by adding lighting and safety features around exits and limiting publicly accessible areas. o Aligned with Policy CF-10, consider paving gravel lots, acquiring property, or constructing structured parking to increase available staff and public parking. Provide ADA-accessible parking near public entrances. The block that includes 640 Bay Street should be considered for this purpose, consistent with the Downtown Subarea Plan. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 o As space becomes available, add staff work and support space, including workstations, break rooms, and a lactation room. • As part of a citywide facilities plan, estimate future staff and operational space needs to guide near -term improvements and property acquisition as well as longer term investments. Encourage public awareness and input as stated in Policies CF-15 and CF-17. Endeavor to accommodate future needs, consolidate staff to improve operational efficiency, address accessibility, and other functional challenges. Aligned with Policy CF-11, consider developing multi -use facilities and partnering opportunities to meet public need. Consider Police Department needs and coordinate with plans; see the Public Safety Facilities section. • As the City designs the Port Orchard Community Event Center, consider relocating the Council Chambers as an interim or long-term solution to free up space at City Hall and improve security. Relocate the library to the event center and determine the best use for the current property. Priority Investments Maintaining and strategically planning for Administration and Community capital facilities are the priorities for the next six years.

In 1998, that department was merged with Kitsap County Fire District 7, which served the greater South Kitsap area. In 2005, Kitsap County Fire District 7 was renamed South Kitsap Fire and Rescue to better represent the communities it serves. There are currently two staffed fire stations located within the City of Port Orchard: Station 17, located at 7990 McCormick Woods Drive SW, Figure 3: Tremont Fire Station and Station 31, at 200 Tremont Street. More information on Fire Protection levels of service can be found in South Kitsap Fire and Rescue's Strategic Positioning Plan 2021-2023. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Schools The South Kitsap School District provides public education to Kindergarten through 121" Grade for the residents of Port Orchard and the South Kitsap area. It serves 9,112 students. The facilities include ten elementary (K-5) schools, three middle schools (6-8) schools, one high school, one alternative high school, and an academy that encourages family involvement. One elementary school, Sidney Glen, is located within Port Orchard City limits, as is one middle school (Cedar Heights), and South Kitsap High School and Explorer Academy. The School District owns property at the northwest corner of Old Clifton Figure 4: Aerial view of South Kitsap High School Road and Feigley Road in the McCormick Village Center that was acquired for future school facilities. The site is large enough to accommodate two schools, including a second high school and a middle or elementary school. The South Kitsap School District Capital Facilities Plan can provide more information on the facilities and plans to improve them. It is adopted by reference as a part of this document. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Public Safety Facilities Inventory Facility Location Size City Hall Police Station 216 Prospect St 5,500 SF Police Shooting Range & Storage 1278 Lloyd Parkway 13.2 acres In addition to the facilities above, Fire Station #7 operates as the operations center in case of an emergency. This facility is owned by the City and leased and operated by South Kitsap Fire and Rescue. Existing Conditions City Hall The Police Department occupies 5,500 square feet of the first floor of City Hall. While 2024 renovations will maximize space use and improve some operations, they will not address many critical needs or add space to accommodate long-term growth. To alleviate the severely limited space in the near term, some staff are located in a secure off -site leased space. Like the administrative department, most support space has been converted to offices or workspace. Storage space is also inadequate; many areas have been repurposed as storage, such as the sallyport. Police officers have take-home vehicles, but there is no secured parking area for staff vehicles and inadequate parking for department meetings. Figure 5: Police offices on ground floor of City Hall In addition to City Hall, the Police rent a 3,000 square foot warehouse for tactical training and storage. This facility is also used to process vehicles for evidence prior to moving them to long-term storage. Police Shooting Range & Storage The police shooting range provides a safe location for officers to train and practice using firearms. The range is aging, in poor condition, and in need of maintenance investments, including lane resurfacing and roof replacement. There is a Conex box on -site that offers limited storage, but the site lacks bathroom facilities. There is also concern the outdoor range may cause increased noise disturbance as the surrounding residential areas grow. Long-term storage is located in a fenced area on the same parcel adjacent to the Public Works Operations Yard. Figure 6: Shooting range Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Future Needs The Police department has grown a lot in recent years and expects to increase staff aligned with the City's population growth. Many Public Safety facilities are aging with most not sized to accommodate current staff or future growth. Continued operations to meet Port Orchard's needs rely on the following steps: • Review operations and establish level of service standards, where appropriate to assess current and future needs. The plan should consider workload, geography, and Port Orchard community needs. Once current and future staffing goals are in place, space needs can be assessed in accordance with Policy CF-13, to determine the facility space needed to support the Police department into the future. • Incorporate plans to construct a Public Safety facility to accommodate future staff and operations into the citywide facilities plan. Provide secure fleet parking, co -locate large vehicle evidence storage, and determine the future use of the long-term evidence storage property. If possible, include tactical training space and an indoor shooting range. Consider building in a central location free from natural hazards. Purchase property when feasible or use existing City property for a new facility as outlined in Policies CF-6 and CF-14. Encourage public awareness and input as stated in Policies CF-15 and CF-17. • If unable to include in a new Public Safety facility, modernize the existing range by covering and resurfacing lanes and upgrading parking; install sanitation, water, and electric utilities; and add secure storage, classroom space, and a firearm cleaning station. Priority Investments Funding and expenditures for the needs assessment, facilities plan, and Police Station renovations are included with financing for City Hall renovations; refer to the Priority Investments chart in the Administration and Community Facilities section. There are no other major investments budgeted for Public Safety in the six -year planning period. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Public Works Facilities The City of Port Orchard and the Public Works Department owns, operates, and maintains infrastructure to provide drinking water, sewer, stormwater, and surface water services to its residents and businesses. Investment in this infrastructure is necessary for continued delivery of utility services that are critical for human health and safety, economic development, as well as supporting a sustainable, healthy environment. Capital facility investments help to ensure that the City can continue to deliver the high -quality municipal utility services customers expect. This section first covers the general facilities supporting staff and then briefly covers the individual utilities. See the Utilities Element or individual functional plans for more detailed utility information. Inventory Facility Address Size (acres) Public Works Shop 1535 Vivian Court 1.82 South Shed Storage 2051 Sidney Ave 3.77 Operations Yard 1278 Lloyd Parkway 14.46 Existing Conditions Public Works Shop The Public Works Shop houses Public Works operations crews and the City's maintenance vehicles and equipment. The main building is in fair condition and provides space for crew support, shops, and storage. Materials storage is severely limited, often forcing crews to obtain supplies from local vendors. Transportation signage is purchased as needed as the existing shop space does not include an area for sign fabrication. Limited crew space is unable to support growth in staff and operations. Figure 7. Public Works Shop Staff and fleet parking space is limited and unable to accommodate growth. There are also two adjacent structures providing covered parking for fleet and equipment. Fleet requiring heated parking can be stored in the main building's shop space as well as in one bay at the South Shed. The rest of the site is significantly undersized with limited yard material storage and no room for expansion. The facility is located on the west side of Highway 16, making it well located near the McCormick Woods development, but separated from a large portion of the City, staff, and facilities, including City Hall. This location may provide operational challenges in the event of a natural hazard. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 South Shed The South Shed Facility is located on a 3.77-acre site located at 2035 Sidney Avenue with 2,000 square feet of warehouse for material and equipment storage. Most of the land at this location is utilized as a park. Originally a fire station, the South Shed was repurposed for Public Works storage in addition to seasonally providing heated parking for equipment such as sweeper and vactor trucks. This aging facility is in poor condition but could be rehabilitated to provide staff workspace and storage. Expanding outdoor storage will require the relocation of parks amenities, access, and parking. Operations Yard Figure 8: South Shed The Operations Yard is located near the Shop and contains a decant facility and materials laydown storage. The decant is in good condition but is at capacity as it is used as a regional facility. Spoils frequently do not have adequate time to dewater, requiring the City to add wicking materials that increase weight and cost when taken to the Kitsap transfer station. The site has limited materials storage but is large enough to accommodate additional crew space and materials bins. Future Needs Public Works is anticipating an estimated staffing increase in the next ten years, growing from 25 to 32-40 or more staff to meet the needs of the rapidly growing community. The City will need to expand Public Work facilities to accommodate needed staff and equipment. Major needs for this planning period as identified by Public Works leadership include: • In accordance with Policy CF-14, perform required maintenance at all public works facilities. Conduct a facilities condition assessment to understand the current conditions and near- and long- term maintenance needs for Public Works and other capital facilities. • In accordance with Policy CF-1, conduct a citywide facilities plan to review current and future level of service standards, add staff where needed, and increase operational space to accommodate current and future staff and operations. • Provide a new public works annex at the industrial center public works yard to house operations utility staff. The proposed facility should include crew support space (offices, bathroom, showers, etc.); a heated warehousing for plumbing, electrical, and other materials storage; employee parking; heated and covered storage bays for equipment and materials; and expanded yard areas for laydown and materials storage. • Upgrade the existing Public Works Shop facility to better utilize vertical storage. • Upgrade the decant facility to increase capacity and add a new composting facility. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 • Provide a new Operations East satellite streets facility west of SR16, preferably near the intersection of Bethel and Lund, and include a crew room and restroom facilities, heated bays for snowplow equipment, and material storage yard. • Upgrade the south shed facility to provide additional storage and work space. Priority Investments Financial information to support the facility condition assessment and citywide facilities plan can be found in the Administration and Community Facilities section. Investments for the next six years have not been identified for the general Public Works capital facilities. Please see the Utilities section below for priority infrastructure investments.

Some of Port Orchard's capital facilities are aging or inadequate for current service needs and will require repairs and replacement over the next 20 years. The costs of replacing utility infrastructure and roads are substantial and take years for planning and implementation. The City is working to address substandard infrastructure and comply with changing state and federal mandates governing capital facilities. In accordance with Goal 1, the City should ensure that all utility infrastructure expansion provides an adequate level of public service to support new development consistent with the City's policies, criteria, Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 and standards. In addition, utility expansion should also be consistent with current land use plans and development regulations of the State of Washington, Kitsap County, and appropriate local planning agencies The following sections list priority projects for Transportation, Stormwater, Sewer, and Water between 2023-2028. More information on these facilities is provided in the Transportation and Utilities Elements as well as the individual functional plans.

This section draws from those plans with a concentration on capital facilities. Inventory Port Orchard owns 89.7 acres of parkland, with a ratio of approximately six acres per every 1,000 residents. This includes conservancies, resource parks, trails, athletic parks, community centers, special use facilities, and support facilities. Parks capital facilities that include structures are listed below; refer to the PROS Plan for a full inventory of parks.

There are also deficits in indoor recreation facilities, community gardens, and multipurpose trails. Additional information on the City's parks and more detailed planning strategies can be found in the City's PROS Plan and in the Parks Element of this Comprehensive Plan. Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan DRAFT: August 2024 Future Needs The City is committed to providing parks that are safe and well -maintained, enhance residential neighborhoods, encourage shoreline access, and activate downtown areas. Considering existing level -of -service for Port Orchard owned parks, the City's projected population growth will create a need for an additional 61.4 acres of land and 15,661 facility units (square feet of courts, fields, etc.) by the year 2040, requiring an estimated expenditure of $32,326,076. This does not account for any maintenance, operation, or repair costs. See the PROS Plan for more information on existing -level -of - service standards. The PROS plan highlights the following investments that update and expand existing park facilities. • In accordance with Policy CF-14, perform required maintenance at all parks and recreation facilities. Conduct a facilities condition assessment to understand the current conditions and near - and long-term maintenance needs for all capital facilities. • As part of a citywide facilities plan, develop a space needs analysis to determine and justify staff growth and investments needed to achieve the Parks goals. Aligned with Policy CF-11, consider developing multi -use facilities and partnering opportunities to meet public need. • Continue plans to design and construct the Port Orchard Community Event Center. The center will be located at 619 Bay Street on the downtown waterfront and include 7,600-8,600 square feet of event space and meeting facilities, as well as a 7,000-9,500 square foot library facility with outdoor decks and an activities area. Consider also relocating the Council Chambers to consolidate community functions. • In accordance with Goal 4, perform required maintenance at all parks facilities. • Protect existing open space and conservancies and acquire and develop parks and trail systems. • Designate and conserve cultural and historic resources located within park properties; seek joint funding partnerships with local jurisdictions to create wayfinding and educational signage, artworks, streetscapes, and gateways. • Develop a master plan for Givens Park and assess condition, repurposing, or removal of the Active Club. • Develop a master plan for expanding Etta Turner Park to the west side of Blackjack Creek. Install lighting on the bridge and enhance Blackjack Creek. • Develop master plans for Ruby Creek Regional Park and Sherman Ave Stormwater Park. • Create and strengthen regional partnerships to enable the City and its partners to provide greater facilities and opportunities than would be possible alone. • Acquire property for future park use in areas of need as identified in the Parks Plan, with an emphasis on the Bethel/Lund and Bethel/Sedgwick Centers.

An online survey ran concurrently with the open house and remained active until August 12, 2024, allowing those unable to attend the in -person workshop to share their feedback. The purpose of these events is to share project information and invite the community to provide feedback on the following key topics: Bethel -Lund and Sedgwick-Bethel Existing Conditions Report. Confirm preliminary findings of neighborhood assets and challenges and gather additional input on community priorities Bethel -Lund and Sedgwick-Bethel Land Use Alternatives. Community members voted for their preferred land use alternative or shared feedback on specific elements to be included in the preferred concept. Ensuring the preferred land use alternative aligns with the community's vision for the Subareas. Consultants and City Staff address questions from attendees during the presentation and open house portion of the workshop. MAKERS architecture & urban design Page 1 Bethel Subarea Engagement Summary DRAFT 08/15/2024 Main Takeaways Themes that arose from the open house and online survey include the following: Safe, efficient, and comfortable multimodal mobility. Many respondents desire improvements to pedestrian and bicycle infrastructures to improve walkability, reduce reliance on cars, and boost access to neighborhood amenities (i.e., parks, neighborhood shopping centers, schools, etc.) Protect people on foot, wheel, or bicycle by physically separating them from fast-moving vehicles (e.g., enhanced, buffered, or protected bike facilities and sidewalks). Encourage a network of trails, bike facilities, and crossing that safely connect grocery stores, bus stops, schools, and parks to and within the Subareas. Develop connectivity between Bethel -Lund and Sedgwick-Bethel. Fill gaps and maintain sidewalks to improve walkability Safety enhancements and traffic calming measure at key intersections and destinations Public supportive statements: "It is lacking safe biking corridors. Safe means separation from cars. Paint is not protection. Bike paths need to be protected from cars by a barrier or planting strip." "I want to see a healthier community with alternative and safe options to commute without the need for cars." "Wider roads and side walks to improve walkability along with bike lanes would be amazing." "How do residents west of Bethel cross safely to catch a bus downtown?" "Pedestrian crossings across major streets such as Bethel and Sedgwick; we live across Bethel but cannot safely cross to get to the bus stop. As mentioned above, sidewalks need to connect - I live a short distance from Fred Meyer but cannot walk there safely given the lack of sidewalks along Bethel. As older residents we would like to increase our bus ridership and walk to various errands - but we all require sidewalk connectivity and crosswalks to do so safely." Efficient transportation system and traffic management. Residents have expressed concerns about the strain on existing road infrastructure due to ongoing and future development and call for enhancements to increase capacity, safety, and improve traffic flow. Residents living in the northwest subdivision of Sedgwick-Bethel (ex. Ridge Village) describe the challenges they face to turn onto Sedgwick Road and Bethel Road Mixed views about the Bethel/Sedgwick Corridor improvements, particularly the addition of roundabouts. Some residents believe that a signalized intersection would enhance traffic flow more effectively. MAKERS architecture & urban design Page 2 Bethel Subarea Engagement Summary DRAFT 08/15/2024 Overall support for the installations of sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and green stormwater infrastructures Public supportive statements: "Less traffic hold up. It's wild in the afternoon. But I think owing forward with significant expansion is fantastic. We just need the roads and safety to support it." "Vastly improved traffic flow and sufficient infrastructure to accommodate the expected influx of residents and housing." "We live in Magnolia Ridge. Off Geiger, you can't turn left on Sedgwick. From Blueberry, turning left on Bethel is very difficult. Heavy traffic on Sedgwick and Bethel in the afternoon more than double my drive to work (SKHS 2.2 miles)." "One of the main concerns I have heard since living here, on all sides of the political spectrum, is that people are concerned about the new housing developments and the traffic load that they will bring. If we prioritize cars over people, then this will not help with the traffic problem that everyone complains about....Also, many people in this area drive cars that must be way over the decibel levels according to the laws and drive at extreme speeds through the neighborhood streets that are only 30 mph, like Salmonberry Rd. Speed bumps or rain gardens need to be put in place to slow down traffic to safe speeds since more enforcement is not working. I have been told Salmonberry is an arterial vein and therefore cannot have speed bumps put in based on the amount of traffic flow, but I would question the statistics on traffic there to believe this is true." Thriving centers with diverse uses for people to work, live, and play. Many residents expressed interest in an attractive, walkable neighborhood that has a mix of activities and diverse commercial and retail use Retain and attract businesses in the Subareas with focus on restaurants, shops, fitness, entertainment, and other services. (i.e., farm -to -table -style restaurants, local brewery, independent movie theater, etc.) Encourage mixed use developments with shared parking. Promote green/plaza spaces as central features of shopping centers (i.e., courtyard shopping centers) Reduce parking ratios to promote land use that make use of transit and active transportation Public supportive statements: "I wish to see it become a little area on its own with shops, food, accessibility, and adequate infrastructure that families can bike around together and have a community park. " "It would be nice for this area to feel similar to Gig Harbor North with walkability, public parks and plazas. It will give the residents the feel of community." MAKERS architecture & urban design Page 3 Bethel Subarea Engagement Summary DRAFT 08/15/2024 "I wish I could see harmony and beauty. Less strip malls, parking lots, and congestion, more pedestrian courtyards and safe bike routes." "We need more sidewalks for safe running and walking. Also more public parks for kids and families. Fewer housing developments- keep the green!" Access to recreational facilities, parks, and open space. Promote recreational and park opportunities that celebrate the beauty of Port Orchard and support play and gathering, especially for youth and teens. The community brought forth ideas such as athletic fields, disc golf courses, mid -size parks with playgrounds, and walking and biking trails. Improve park security and regulate access Some residents are supportive of the Blackjack Creek nature trail. Others were concerned it would pose safety concerns if not maintained. Public supportive statements: "The parks are really nice here, but sometimes go unmonitored or protected at night and become vandalized. It would be nice if there was better patrol or times when the park gates could be closed at night. Additionally, it would be nice to see more community gardens and disc golf courses, and if possible, I would like to see nature trails added to view wildlife around the creeks." "By ten years' time we'd hope that additional parks, tennis/pickleball/basketball courts, baseball and soccer fields would be available within Port Orchard - not specific to Sedgwick-Bethel however." "Parks and hiking trails that maintain the overall fee[I] and beauty of Port Orchard" "Please don't make a trail along Blackjack Creek. It will only encourage traffic through quiet neighborhoods and create more encampments." Resilient and sustainable community. Residents encourage to preserve greenery and encourage sustainable features (considering climate change and heat risk) such as using green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) in transportation improvements or other developments. Seek opportunities to promote community amenities such as health facilities and community gardens Protect greenery and open space and promote planting of native trees and vegetation Public supportive statements: "Pea patches or community gardens would be an awesome addition to any park added. A native plant or medicinal plant garden would be cool. Disc golf is always fun." "More bus routes & stops, sidewalks. More health and human services" MAKERS architecture & urban design Page 4 Bethel Subarea Engagement Summary DRAFT 08/15/2024 "Please preserve as much greenbelt as possible" "Would love to see increased maintenance of vacant spaces - possibly to include wildflowers or other plantings instead of weeds." "Please preserve as much of the greenbelt as possible. Also, keeping it family and pet friendly/safe is very important." Some residents want to make limited changes within the subareas and expect the development to occur with a density similar to existing conditions, but with improved infrastructure Public statements: "Development for the people already here" "[Concerns for] over crowing" "This is all private property. Planners are smoking crack if they think they can design the neighborhood to be the way they want it. These studies are a waste of time and money. All the analysis and property rights restrictions are the reason housing is unaffordable here along with the lack of infrastructure. You want to do something productive then install the infrastructure needed to develop more housing." MAKERS architecture & urban design Bethel Subarea Engagement Summary DRAFT 08/15/2024 Reactions to the Land Use Alternatives About 60% of online survey respondents supported Alternative 3 in both Subareas. The reaction amongst workshop attendees were generally split, vocal comments following the presentation geared toward Alternative 1. Attendees expressed concerns about the increase in height and density changes and related transportation impacts, as well as limited internal connectivity with the assumed developments. Comments by other participants during the open house favored components of Alternative 2 and 3 Based on the general feedback received during the workshop and online survey, community members were receptive to elements that support mixed -use developments with plaza spaces, improve commercial opportunities near arterial corridors, enhance access to parks and trails, and advance multimodal transportation.

(EXHIBIT 2-3). TABLE 2-1 and TABLE 2-2 list the building types and land uses permitted in these zoning districts. Generally, the maximum building height allowed within Bethel -Lund is three stories or 35 feet. Port Orchard's subarea policies (established in the Land Use element of the City's Comprehensive Plan) describe a need to support focused growth with compact development forms and the height limits are a significant barrier to achieving the Port Orchard Bethel Lund Subarea Plan • Existing Conditions 6 Existing Conditions • DRAFT August 2024 added dwelling units and vertical mixed -use buildings necessary to concentrate growth in the Subarea. Allowing for more height enables developers to create additional dwelling units which help spread out of the cost of construction. The cost and risk of developing mixed -use structures and leasing ground -floor commercial space typically can be offset by a higher amount of residential floor area. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, developers are indicating increased risk associated with commercial development due to continued uncertainty about retail and office markets. This further increases the attractiveness of developments with a higher share of residential floor area. Port Orchard allows height increases through the use of a transfer -of -development - rights (TDR) ordinance adopted in 2019 in partnership with Kitsap County (Chapter 20.41 POMC). TDR programs are complex and require savvy and willing participants. To date, no project has used Port Orchard's TDR program and other Washington jurisdictions have found it difficult to attract participants to TDR programs outside of the highest - priced markets. Increased height limits and potentially larger buildings will be mitigated by a broad set of multifamily and commercial design standards Port Orchard already has in place (Chapter 20.127 POMC). These include but are not limited to standards for building massing, light and air access, useable open space, building materials, and windows and entries. According to the Port Orchard Housing Action Plan (HAP), the economic benefits of light wood frame construction are maximized with height limits in the 65-85 feet range. The HAP makes specific recommendations for height limits in several zones that exist in the Subarea.

Port Orchard Bethel Lund Subarea Plan • Existing Conditions 10 Existing Conditions • DRAFT August 2024 Middle Housing The City is taking proactive measures to ensure compliance with Washington State's new middle housing bills, HB 1110 and HB 2321, adopted during the 2023 and 2024 legislative sessions respectively. HB 1 1 10 mandates cities of specific sizes and locations to permit multiple dwelling units per lot in areas that are traditionally exclusive to single- family detached homes. HB 2321 modified the requirements created under HB 1 1 10. The law is codified under RCW 36.70A.635. What is Middle Housing? "Middle housing" includes duplexes, townhouses, cottages, courtyard apartments, and other building types that fall between the scale of single-family detached houses and larger apartment buildings. Middle housing units tend to be more affordable to build than single-family houses and offer greater varieties of layout and sizes that are suited for a wider range of households. Expanding the areas where middle housing is allowed offer greater opportunities for "starter homes", or homeownership, to all residents of a community. ADUs Duplexes/ Triplexes Fourplexes Cottage Clusters Townhouses Courtyard apartments Small apartments (5-10 units) Source: Makers, 2023 Currently, Port Orchard is a Tier 3 city as described by the Department of Commerce Middle Housing Model Ordinance User Guide. Tier 3 cities must allow at least two units per lot. Port Orchard is anticipated to cross the 25,000 population threshold and become a Tier 2 city, which are required to allow at least two units per lot and also at least four units per lot when any lot provides one affordable housing unit and on lots near major transit stops. Port Orchard Bethel Lund Subarea Plan • Existing Conditions Existing Conditions • DRAFT August 2024 To implement middle housing effectively, Port Orchard proposes the redesignation of properties currently within the R1 zone to R2, effectively repealing existing R1 zoning standards and implementing middle housing building types mandated by HB 1 110 in the R2 zoning district. The Port Orchard HAP provides guidance to promote middle housing while the middle housing compliance strategy is part of the broader update and adoption of the Citywide Comprehensive Plan. Block Frontage Standards Chapter 20.127 POMC provides citywide multifamily and commercial design standards. Article II provides block frontage design standards that emphasize compatible development and creating a comfortable walking environment. Many of Port Orchard's streets are designated on block frontage maps for which specific standards apply to different frontage designations. In this Subarea, Bethel Road and Lund Avenue are both designated as "varied" in the community design framework maps (POMC 20.127.130) meaning developments fronting these streets are subject to either "storefront" or "landscaped" block frontage standards. Storefront frontages feature traditional ground -floor commercial spaces at the edge of the public sidewalk. Landscape frontages feature landscaped setbacks between the sidewalk and building. In some cases, parking is restricted from being located and visible adjacent to public sidewalks. The large commercial site hosting Safeway and other stores on the southeast corner of the Bethel Road and Lund Avenue intersection is designated as subject to "optional community design framework master plan approval." This designation allows such recently rezoned sites the option to propose alternative and/or additional block frontages and is intended to promote the arrangement of streets, buildings, open space, parking, and service areas that enhance the pedestrian experience and reinforce Port Orchard's community character. In addition to the existing streets, EXHIBIT 2-4 Block Frontage Map #7 and Map #8 use black dashed lines to indicate planned locations for new streets. Such streets can be created through a City capital project or as a condition of approval for private development occurring on applicable lots. Planned streets are subject to the "other block frontage standards" under POMC 20.127.210.

Most commercial properties contain one-story buildings setback from the street by expansive parking lots. There are multiple drive -through businesses. Commercial signage is typical for the region and mostly consists of monument and wall -mounted signs. Larger commercial buildings typically have service access in rear -facing areas, while smaller commercial buildings have screened trash collection located in in parking areas. Travel in the area is primarily by automobile and likely related to the long distances between residential and commercial land uses and the incomplete nature of the sidewalk and bicycling infrastructure network. See more information in 2.2 Transportation. Residential development mostly consists of single -unit detached homes. Older subdivisions are isolated on dead-end side streets while newer subdivisions in the northwest portion of the Subarea include street networks that provide multiple external connections. There are a few single-family properties on larger lots of fronting Bethel Road and Lund Avenue. Orchard Bluff Mobile Home Park, owned by Housing Kitsap is Port Orchard Bethel Lund Subarea Plan • Existing Conditions 14 Existing Conditions - DRAFT August 2024 located behind a thick landscape buffer along Lund Avenue. Multi -unit residences include three small apartment complexes located on the eastern and southern fringes of the Subarea, all of which consist of two-story buildings. Landscaping is inconsistent across the Subarea. Some properties have landscaped perimeters and parking lots, while other developed areas, including segments of Bethel Road and Lund Avenue, are void of any plantings. Several vacant and/or undeveloped properties are densely vegetated and contain stands of mature trees, particularly to the west. The Subarea is mostly flat with the exception of the Blackjack Creek ravine. EXHIBIT 2-5 Looking west from Lund Avenue SOURCE: Google, 2024 Subarea aesthetic and pedestrian experience are expected to improve with the implementation of the Bethel and Sedgwick Corridor Plan, which calls for continuous sidewalks and landscape strips along the length of Bethel Road. Aesthetics will also improve over time through redevelopment and required compliance with the Port Orchard multifamily and commercial design standards under Chapter 20.127 POMC which ensure that new development is high quality and positively contributes to Port Orchard's community character. These design standards consist of: • Article II - Block Frontage Standards (described above). Most importantly, new buildings must be located adjacent to Bethel Road and Lund Avenue rather than setback behind parking. • Article III - Site Planning Standards o Standards for light and air access to residential dwelling units Port Orchard Bethel Lund Subarea Plan - Existing Conditions 15 Existing Conditions • DRAFT August 2024 o Nonmotorized circulation standards, including minimum connectivity o Vehicular circulation standards for internal roadways o Open space standards o Standards for the design of service areas and mechanical equipment • Article IV - Building Design Standards o Prohibition on corporate architecture o Building massing and articulation standards that reduce the perceived scale of large buildings o Building detail requirements for commercial ground floors o Exterior material standards o Requirements for treating blank walls Port Orchard Bethel Lund Subarea Plan • Existing Conditions 16 Existing Conditions • DRAFT August 2024 2.2 Transportation Previous Transportation Planning Efforts Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road Corridor Plan The objective of this study was to develop a comprehensive plan and conceptual design for the two critical corridors in Port Orchard, Sedgwick Road (State Route 160) and Bethel Road. The two corridors are major arterials that serve the Bethel -Lund Subarea and provide connections to State Route 16, Downtown Port Orchard, and the Southworth Ferry Terminal. Elements of the study were centered on: Ensuring safe mobility for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders Supporting existing businesses and future commercial growth in the area Guiding future development of the corridors through design considerations and funding tools The proposed conceptual design introduces roundabouts on key segments of both roadways. Additionally, the study recommends enhancing sidewalk connectivity, bicycle facilities, and implementing green stormwater infrastructure. The multi -phase reconstruction of Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road offers a unique opportunity to transform these corridors into attractive, pedestrian -friendly EXHIBIT 2-6 Bethel Sedgwick Corridor Plan Conceptual Rendering LqW ,+a v streets, while strengthening connections among the area neighborhoods.

Salmonberry Road is a residential street that connects the outlying neighborhood within the Port Orchard Urban Growth Area to the Bethel Road commercial corridor. Bethel Road is a key north -south connection that provides access to transit centers, ferry terminals, and other major commercial centers, such as Downtown Port Orchard. Bethel Road also links State Route 160 and State Route 166, creating a crucial network that connects the City to other parts of the County. Bethel Road is generally a three - lane street with a center turn lane that carries 11,500 to 16,900 Average Weekly Daily Traffic (AWDT), depending on the segment. The Bethel and Sedgwick Corridor Plan analyzed the crash frequency along the study segments from 2013-2017. Based on the report, certain intersections on Bethel Road experienced more crashes than others, including Lund Avenue, Salmonberry, and Mitchell Road. Turning movement related crashes, either onto or off the corridor, were more common on Bethel Road than Sedgwick Road due to Bethel Road having more driveways and intersections which increases the likelihood of crashes occurring. The study recommends access management strategies along Bethel Road to address these issues and preserve safety, function, and capacity of the corridor. Lund Avenue is a minor arterial street connecting neighborhoods between Tremont Center and East Port Orchard. Lund Avenue is primarily a three -lane street with a center turn lane and serves 16,000 AWDT. West of Bethel Road, Lund Avenue transitions to a four -lane street and changes names to Tremont Street. Salmonberry Road is a two-lane east -west connector that runs through unincorporated residential neighborhoods in the urban growth area connecting Jackson Avenue to Bethel Road, serving an estimated 2,300 AWDT. The subarea does not have a conventional grid system, concentrating traffic to a limited number of streets leading to increased congestion, safety concerns, and road deterioration. Side streets primarily function as low -volume, local residential streets and connectors to East Port Orchard Elementary School. Developers are expected to complete the roadway connections from Walmart to Salmonberry Road, which will allow greater flexibility for vehicular access and circulation in the area. See EXHIBIT 2-9. The City's Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) lists planned transportation projects and enhancements including pedestrian and bicycle facilities, stormwater systems, and construction of new connector streets.

Sidewalks are being installed in concert with new development generally seen in new subdivisions. Many older existing sidewalks have substandard widths and curb cuts and sidewalks along arterial streets are fragmented and usually not present on both sides of a street. Most streets outside of the commercial areas have paved or gravel shoulders, which forces pedestrians to share high -volume roadways with vehicles and bicyclists. Safe pedestrian crossings are limited to the two signalized intersections on Bethel Road. Side street intersections and private driveways often have wide turning radii, which increases pedestrian crossing distances and allows vehicles to turn at higher speeds. Street lighting is also limited, which can improve the safety and comfort of walking at night. The fragmented active transportation network has resulted in a lack of safe and attractive connections to neighboring destinations and car dependency. Notably, there is no attractive active transportation option for travelling east -west between Bethel Road and Harris Road for a distance of one-half mile although Harris Road has numerous residential developments that are physically close to the shopping and job opportunities in the Bethel -Lund Subarea. A similar challenge exists for the Hoover Avenue/Green Dale Drive neighborhood northeast of the subarea. Overall, the environment in the Subarea is unpleasant for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other wheeled device users (like wheelchairs, strollers, and scooters). Continuous active transportation infrastructure would improve the functionality of the existing network and quality of the pedestrian environment, providing a convenient, safe, and attractive option alternative to driving. The City has planned nonmotorized routes that are intended to improve bicycle and pedestrian access throughout the City, those within the Bethel -Lund Subarea are listed in TABLE 2-4. Port Orchard Bethel Lund Subarea Plan • Existing Conditions 23 Existing Conditions • DRAFT August 2024 Bicycle Facilities Currently, there are no existing bicycle facilities within Bethel -Lund. However, the City's planned nonmotorized routes will improve pedestrian and bicycle access and connection from residential neighborhoods to commercial centers, recreation areas, and other nonmotorized routes outside of the city limits. These routes include Bethel Road (Bay Street to Sedgwick Road), Tremont Lund (State Route 16 to Jackson Avenue), and Salmonberry Road West (Bethel Road to Jackson Avenue). Both Bethel Road and Tremont Lund connect to Kitsap County nonmotorized routes and are included the Kitsap County Non -Motorized Facilities Plan. The Bethel and Sedgwick Corridor Plan includes street improvements on Bethel Road. Tremont Lund includes the Tremont Street Improvement and the Lund -Jackson Avenue corridor improvements. The Tremont Street Improvement is partially constructed, and other phases of development are ongoing. The Kitsap County TIP identifies four improvement projects along Lund Avenue including sidewalks and bicycle lanes and three new roundabouts from the Port Orchard city limits to Jackson Avenue. The eastern end route to Jackson Avenue extends beyond the city limits requiring collaboration with Kitsap County. Continued design improvements for Salmonberry Road West are part of the Bethel Phase 1 project.

Lundberg Park is an undeveloped, forested city -owned park property located just outside the northwest Subarea boundary. It currently has no public access or amenities, but its proximity to Blackjack Creek and a steadily growing residential area makes it suitable to become a neighborhood park. South Kitsap Regional Park, also known as Jackson Park, located one mile east of the Subarea, provides a wide range of activities including sport fields, a playground, skate park, and walking and biking trails, across 209 acres. Additionally, East Port Orchard Elementary School includes a playground and large open playfield open for use by residents. There are opportunities to promote local neighborhood parks or park plaza spaces within the subarea through mixed -use and residential developments, particularly near the commercial center and pending multifamily homes on Salmonberry Road. A large park could be sited on the undeveloped parcels south of Vallair Connector, which, due to its size, has the potential to include a mix of recreation facilities and/or programming (i.e., playground, picnic shelters, nature trail, etc.) (See EXHIBIT 2-12). Critical Areas Wetlands are vital to the local hydrologic cycle and offer a range of beneficial functions, such as wildlife habitat, improving water quality, reducing flood risks, and retaining stormwater. The City aims to preserve and protect wetlands and their buffers, but when impacts are unavoidable, wetland replacement or wetland mitigation banks must be utilized to mitigate impacts in accordance with Chapter 20.162 of the Port Orchard Municipal Code. Blackjack Creek is the largest stream system in Port Orchard spanning a length of approximately three miles within the city limits (not including tributaries) and is considered one of the largest and most productive fish producing streams in South Kitsap. In recent years, the City has taken steps to protect the Blackjack Creek corridor and preserve and/or restore ecological function. Blackjack Terrace Open Space, located west of Vallair Connector, acts as a dedicated natural wooded buffer and much of the area surrounding Blackjack Creek is zoned Greenbelt. There is no public access to Blackjack Creek near Bethel -Lund, presenting an opportunity for a potential new trail connecting Blackjack Creek to adjacent subdivisions. The creation of such trail would promote outdoor recreation and cultivate environmental stewardship within the Subarea. Port Orchard Bethel Lund Subarea Plan • Existing Conditions 27 Existing Conditions - DRAFT August 2024 The 2023 the Port Orchard Stormwater and Watersheds Comprehensive Plan assessed stormwater system impacts on local receiving waters based partly on impervious surfaces land coverage. Lower Blackjack Creek was ranked Moderate/High, indicating a greater level of water quality degradation. Impacts to water resources could increase due to new and upcoming development in the area. Surface water and stormwater capital improvement projects were developed to address the problems identified in the plan. Among the ten prioritized projects is the Salmonberry Road Lower Blackjack Creek Culvert Retrofit, which will remove and replace an existing culvert with a new storm conveyance system (see EXHIBIT 2-12). The Bethel/Sedgwick Corridor Plan also programmed stormwater infrastructure along the Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road to protect critical downstream creeks and waterways (i.e. Blackjack Creek).

These alternatives serve as a framework for evaluating different development pathway. The chart below describes the key features recommended in each of the land use alternatives. Alternative 1 No Action Utilize current zoning and moves forward with existing policies and planned public improvements. A notable exception will be zoning changes necessary to comply with the State's middle housing legislation. Alternative 2 Alternative 3 1 Light Touch Mixed Use/Transit-Oriented Development Create flexible regulations and implement strategic zoning changes to accommodate growth and promote efficient mix of uses. Improve pedestrian mobility and access to parks and open space. Leverage planned transportation improvements and expand growth through mixed use opportunities to support walkable neighborhoods and economic vitality. Advance regional trail and safe routes to school to support multimodal network. The table below present the distinctions between each alternative, focusing on whether the assumed future development will prioritize greater vertical mixed -use development or retain the current configuration while strategically redesignating zones to encourage more commercial and residential capacity within Bethel -Lund.

There is a mix of CC, CMU, and CH zoning in the areas today. No change No change No change No change No change. Lundberg Park and Bethel South properties remain in limbo with no development plans R4 - 45 feet (no change) and not citywide. CC - 45 feet (+10 feet) CMU - 55 feet (+15 feet) R4 - 55 feet (+10 feet) Retain CH zoning only for gas stations and the big box stores (Fred Meyer, Safeway, Walmart, and future Home Depot sites). Other CH sites get rezoned to CC or CMU. Consider rezoning CC to CMU in strategic locations. This creates some non- conforming uses. Rezone R1 and R2 zones to R3 or R4, except for residential lots which were recently developed. Explore MFTE opportunities for the subareas. Reduce multifamily and commercial minimum parking requirements within the subarea boundaries. For example, up to 1 space for studio/one-bedroom apartment and do not require extra parking when on -street parking is not present. POMC 20.127.350(3) is amended to apply larger commercial open spaces within the subarea boundaries, e.g. 3% of site area. Bethel -Lund: 1. Lundberg Park is developed with a connection to a trail in the Blackjack Creek ravine. CMU - 75 feet (+35 feet) Rezone all CH and CC sites to CMU. This creates some non- conforming uses. Rezone all residential lots to R4. Rezone some commercial properties to R4 when such properties are some distance from an arterial street (e.g. southwest corner of Bethel- Sedgwick subarea). Same as Alternative 2. Remove all minimum parking requirements within the subareas boundaries, per HAP Strategy 4.2.4. Apply a maximum parking requirement for commercial use. POMC 20.127.350(3) is amended to apply larger commercial open spaces within the subarea boundaries, e.g. 4% of site area. Bethel -Lund: Same as Alternative 2 with addition of: 1.

Such adjustments include applying larger commercial open space and propose through block connections requirement. Reduce multifamily and commercial minimum parking requirements within the subarea boundaries. Rezone areas west of Harold Drive to increase housing capacity and allow for greater flexibility of residential developments. Rezone to expand commercial capacity and flexibility along Bethel Road to promote a more pedestrian friendly mix of uses Adopt the height overlay districts, as shown on EXHIBIT 3-2, to modestly increase height limits to support compact growth, encourage vertical mixed -use buildings and additional dweling units. Priorities and Investments ■ Support the Bethel/Sedgwick Corridor Plan to maximize north to south connections along Bethel Road, improve pedestrian and bicycles infrastructure, and promote green storm water infrastructures. Such improvements would also enhance the visual character of the corridor. Explore opportunities to improve internal connectivity for people walking, bicycling and rolling to access neighboring destinations, such as East Port Orchard Elementary School and South Kitsap Regional Park. These improvements could include midblock crossing, protected or buffered facilities, street trees, traffic diverters, and other character -defining features to improve mobility and comfort. The type of enhancement would be determined by further study. Pursue public/private partnerships to provide neighborhood amenities to catalyze desired development. Salmonberry Park could serve dual function as a park to address the recreational and open space needs in the area and buffer between Blackjack Creek. Study options to create a regional off-street trail along Blackjack Creek to provide opportunities to offer alternative transportation options and improve health and wellbeing of residents.

Introduction 1.1 Plan Background and Context 1.2 Study Area The Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea spans across a total of 235.7 acres and is situated at the intersection of Sedgwick Road and Bethel Road. Sedgwick-Bethel is bordered by Port Orchard's unincorporated area to the east and by Blackjack Creek to the west. The study area extends to the north, encompassing recent developments and other vacant and developable lands. The southern subarea boundary has been revised to exclude critical areas. The current boundary of Sedgwick-Bethel subarea does not comply with the latest Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) criteria for Countywide Centers. Following a thorough evaluation and consultation with the city, the study area has been expanded and revised in alignment with the PRSC Countywide Centers framework. This expansion presents Port Orchard with new prospects for residential and commercial growth in this part of the city.

Existing Conditions 2.1 Existing Land Use and Zoning In recent years, there has been significant and transformative development in the Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea. The predominant land use now consists of detached single-family homes, which are built on previously undeveloped greenfield sites. Sedgwick-Bethel continues to contain a mix of land uses including a grocery store, retail shops, restaurants, and general services (see EXHIBIT 2-2). There are other civic facilities, such as the Family Christian Center and Hidden Creek Elementary School, located within one -mile of the EXHIBIT 2-1 New Residential Developments in Sedgwick - Bethel SOURCE: Google Earth, 2024 Subarea to the south and southeast. There are three commercial clusters located along Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road including Bethel Centre, Sedgwick Plaza, and Fred Meyer. In 2017, major residential construction projects began in Sedgwick-Bethel. The first of these projects was Andaiso Village, a single-family subdivision situated in the northwestern quadrant of the study area. Following completion of Andaiso Village, construction for the Magnolia Ridge and Sidney Ridge subdivisions started. In addition, a new multifamily residential complex, Pottery Creek Apartments, was recently built on the southern edge of the Subarea. Another multifamily project located along Blueberry Road is under construction and will likely be completed in early 2025 (see 2.4 Development Pipeline).

TABLE 2-1 and TABLE 2-2 list the building types and land uses permitted in these zones. Generally, the maximum building height allowed within Sedgwick-Bethel is three stories or 35 feet. Port Orchard's subarea policies (established in the Land Use element of the City's Comprehensive Plan) describe a need to support focused growth with compact development forms and the height limits are a significant barrier to achieving the Port Orchard Sedgwick Bethel Subarea Plan 6 Existing Conditions • DRAFT August 2024 added dwelling units and vertical mixed -use buildings necessary to concentrate growth in the Subarea. Allowing for more height enables developers to create additional dwelling units which help spread out of the cost of construction. The cost and risk of developing mixed -use structures and leasing ground -floor commercial space typically can be offset by a higher amount of residential floor area. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, developers are indicating increased risk associated with commercial development due to continued uncertainty about retail and office markets. This further increases the attractiveness of developments with a higher share of residential floor area. Port Orchard allows height increases through the use of a transfer -of -development - rights (TDR) ordinance adopted in 2019 in partnership with Kitsap County (Chapter 20.41 POMC). TDR programs are complex and require savvy and willing participants. To date, no project has used Port Orchard's TDR program and other Washington jurisdictions have found it difficult to attract participants to TDR programs outside of the highest - priced markets. Increased height limits and potentially larger buildings will be mitigated by a broad set of multifamily and commercial design standards Port Orchard already has in place (Chapter 20.127 POMC). These include but are not limited to standards for building massing, light and air access, useable open space, building materials, and windows and entries. According to the Port Orchard Housing Action Plan (HAP), the economic benefits of light wood frame construction are maximized with height limits in the 65-85 feet range. The HAP makes specific recommendations for height limits in several zones that exist in the Subarea.

Port Orchard Sedgwick Bethel Subarea Plan 10 Existing Conditions • DRAFT August 2024 Middle Housing The City is taking proactive measures to ensure compliance with Washington State's new middle housing bills, HB 1110 and HB 2321, adopted during the 2023 and 2024 legislative sessions respectively. HB 1 1 10 mandates cities of specific sizes and locations to permit multiple dwelling units per lot in areas that are traditionally exclusive to single- family detached homes. HB 2321 modified the requirements created under HB 1 1 10. The law is codified under RCW 36.70A.635. What is Middle Housing? "Middle housing" includes duplexes, townhouses, cottages, courtyard apartments, and other building types that fall between the scale of single-family detached houses and larger apartment buildings. Middle housing units tend to be more affordable to build than single-family houses and offer greater varieties of layout and sizes that are suited for a wider range of households. Expanding the areas where middle housing is allowed offer greater opportunities for "starter homes", or homeownership, to all residents of a community. ADUs Duplexes/ Triplexes Fourplexes Cottage Clusters Nil Townhouses Courtyard apartments Small apartments (5-10 units) Source: Makers, 2023 Currently, Port Orchard is a Tier 3 city as described by the Department of Commerce Middle Housing Model Ordinance User Guide. Tier 3 cities must allow at least two units per lot. Port Orchard is anticipated to cross the 25,000 population threshold and become a Tier 2 city, which are required to at least two units per lot and also at least four units per lot when any lot provides one affordable housing unit and on lots near major transit stops. To implement middle housing effectively, Port Orchard proposes the redesignation of properties currently within the R1 zone to R2, effectively repealing existing R1 zoning standards and implementing middle housing building types mandated by HB 1 1 10 in the R2 zoning district. Port Orchard Sedgwick Bethel Subarea Plan Existing Conditions • DRAFT August 2024 The Port Orchard HAP provides guidance to promote middle housing while the middle housing compliance strategy is part of the broader update and adoption of the Citywide Comprehensive Plan. Block Frontage Standards Chapter 20.127 POMC provides citywide multifamily and commercial design standards. Article II provides block frontage design standards that emphasize compatible development and creating a comfortable walking environment. Many of Port Orchard's streets are designated on block frontage maps for which specific standards apply to different frontage designations. In this Subarea, Bethel Road and Lund Avenue are both designated as "varied" in the community design framework maps (POMC 20.127.130) meaning developments fronting these streets are subject to either "storefront" or "landscaped" block frontage standards. Storefront frontages feature traditional ground -floor commercial spaces at the edge of the public sidewalk. Landscape frontages feature landscaped setbacks between the sidewalk and building. In some cases, parking is restricted from being located and visible adjacent to public sidewalks. Sedgwick Road at the western edge of the subarea is designated as "gateway". This designation is reserved for areas near highway interchanges with heavy vehicle traffic and serve the purpose of providing attractive landscaped frontages. In addition to the existing streets, EXHIBIT 2-4 Block Frontage Map #9 use black dashed lines to indicate planned locations for new streets. Such streets can be created through a City capital project or as a condition of approval for private development occurring on applicable lots. The block frontage type that applies on planned streets is "other", regulated under POMC 20.127.210. In this subarea, the widening of Blueberry Road and a portion of Geiger Road have been completed as a condition of recent single-family subdivisions. Port Orchard Sedgwick Bethel Subarea Plan 12 Existing Conditions • DRAFT August 2024 EXHIBIT 2-4 Block Frontage Map #9 SOURCE: POMC 20.127.130 Community design framework maps Existing Aesthetics and Design Standards Located in the far southeast corner of Port Orchard city limits, this subarea is transitioning from a rural setting into a more suburban setting. Aesthetics in the subarea is typical of low -density, auto -oriented commercial and residential development in the Puget Sound region, mixed with larger vacant parcels consisting of forestlands and fields. Most commercial properties contain one-story buildings setback from the street by expansive parking lots. There are multiple drive -through businesses. Commercial signage is typical for the region and mostly consists of monument and wall -mounted signs. Larger commercial buildings typically have service access in rear -facing areas, while smaller commercial buildings have screened trash collection located in in parking areas. Travel in the area is primarily by automobile and likely related to the long distances between residential and commercial land uses and the incomplete nature of the sidewalk and bicycling infrastructure network. See more information in 2.2 Transportation. Port Orchard Sedgwick Bethel Subarea Plan 13 Existing Conditions - DRAFT August 2024 Residential development consists of single -unit detached homes and apartment complexes. Most of the residential developments were built within the last decade and have been subject to more contemporary standards requiring good street networks with multiple external connections. There are a few older single-family properties on large lots fronting the western portion Sedgwick Road. On the eastern portion of Sedgwick Road there is a concentration of new apartment complexes with three-story buildings. Landscaping is inconsistent across the Subarea. Some properties have landscaped perimeters and parking lots. The general auto -oriented nature of the environment competes with the aesthetic benefits of trees, particularly due to the lack of street trees on Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road. Many of the vacant properties have stands of larger trees and dense vegetation, particularly to the west. The Subarea is mostly flat with the exception of the Blackjack Creek ravine. Subarea aesthetic and pedestrian experience are expected to improve with the implementation of the Bethel and Sedgwick Corridor Plan, which calls for continuous sidewalks and landscape strips along the length of Bethel Road. Aesthetics will also improve over time through redevelopment and required compliance with the Port Orchard multifamily and commercial design standards under Chapter 20.127 POMC which ensure that new development is high quality and positively contributes to Port Orchard's community character.

The two corridors are Plan Conceptual major arterials that serve Sedgwick-Bethel and provide connections to State Route 16, Downtown Port Orchard, and the Southworth Ferry Terminal. Elements of the study were centered on: Ensuring mobility for all users, including drivers, people walking and bicycling„ and transit riders Supporting existing businesses and future commercial growth in the area Guiding future development of the corridors through design considerations and funding tools The proposed design introduces roundabouts on key segments of both roadways. In addition, the study recommends T1 . Aipft improvements in sidewalk connectivity, bicycle facilities, and green stormwater SOURCE: Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road infrastructure. The multi -phase Corridor Plan, City of Port Orchard, 2018 reconstruction of Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road presents an opportunity to promote pedestrian -friendly green streets and create an attractive, distinct gateway to the city.

Salmonberry Road is a residential street that connects the outlying neighborhood within Port Orchard's Urban Growth Area to Bethel commercial corridor. Bethel Road is a key north -south connection. It spans across the southern city limits to the northern waterfront, providing access to transit centers, ferry terminals, and other major commercial centers, such as Downtown Port Orchard. It also links State Route 160 and State Route 166 creating a crucial network that connects the city to the other parts of the county. Bethel Road is primarily a three -lane road with a center turn lane, and carriers 11,500 to 16,900 Average Weekly Daily Traffic (AWDT), depending on the segment. Sedgwick Road (State Route160) is a two-lane highway that serves as the primary east/west ferry commuter route to Southworth Ferry Terminal and provide convenient access to State Route 16 interchange. State Route 16 is a major regional route that connects Kitsap County to Pierce County through Interstate 5. It eventually links to State Route 3 to the north, which provide access to Northern Kitsap County. Based on the Bethel and Sedgwick Corridor Plan, Sedgwick Road has experienced more crashes than Bethel Road, according to the reported crash frequency between 2013 to 2017. Crashes on Sedgwick Road are spread out along the study segment, while on the Bethel corridor, certain intersections such as Lund Avenue, Salmonberry, and Mitchell Road, have experienced more crashes than others. Turning movement related crashes, either onto or off the corridor, were more common on Bethel Road than Sedgwick Road, due in part to the fact that Bethel Road has more driveways and intersections. Additionally, there were no reported crashed involving bicyclist on either study corridor over the time period that was analyzed. The study recommends increasing corridor capacity on Sedgwick Road and access management on Bethel Road to address safety issues and preserve safety, function, and capacity of these corridors. Salmonberry Road, a two-lane, east -west connector, runs through residential neighborhoods, connecting Jackson Avenue to Bethel Road. Salmonberry Road serves 2,300 AWDT. The subarea does not have a conventional grid system, leading traffic to be concentrated on a limited number of streets where congestion, safety concerns, and road wear increase. Side streets primarily function as low -volume, local residential streets. The City has planned new street connections on Piperberry Way to enhance pedestrian and vehicular circulation in the area. See EXHIBIT 2-9. The City's Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) lists planned transportation projects and enhancements including intersection improvements, street extension, pedestrian Port Orchard Sedgwick Bethel Subarea Plan 19 Existing Conditions - DRAFT August 2024 and bicycle facilities upgrades, and installation of stormwater infrastructures.

Sidewalks are also being installed in concert with new development, generally seen in new subdivisions. However, many older existing sidewalks have substandard widths and curb cuts, and sidewalks along arterial streets are fragmented and usually not present on both sides of a street. Most streets outside of the commercial areas have paved or gravel shoulders, which forces people walking to share high -volume roadways with vehicles. Pedestrian crossings are limited to the signalized intersection at Bethel/Sedgwick. Side street intersections and private driveways often have wide turning radii, which increases crossing distances for people walking and allows vehicles to turn at higher speeds. Street lighting, which can improve the safety and comfort of walking at night, is limited. The missing links in the sidewalk and bicycle networks make existing streets car -centric and reduce connectivity to neighboring areas. Overall, the environment in the subarea is unpleasant for people walking and rolling (using mobility devices like wheelchairs and strollers). Continuous sidewalk and bicycle infrastructure would improve the usefulness and safety of the pedestrian environment and encourage active transportation. The City's planned nonmotorized routes improve bicycle and pedestrian access throughout the city. However, there are no proposed separated or off -road recreational trails corridors beyond these planned routes. TABLE 2-4 lists the City's planned nonmotorized routes within the Sedgwick-Bethel subarea. Port Orchard Sedgwick Bethel Subarea Plan 22 Existing Conditions • DRAFT August 2024 Bicycle Facilities Currently, there are no existing bicycle facilities within Sedgwick-Bethel. However, the City's planned nonmotorized routes will improve pedestrian and bicycle access and connect residential neighborhoods to commercial centers, recreational areas, and Kitsap County nonmotorized routes outside of the city limits. These routes include Bethel Road (Bay Street to Sedgwick Road), Sedgwick Road (Sidney Road SW to Long Lake Road), and Salmonberry Road West (Bethel Avenue to Jackson Avenue). Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road also connect to the Kitsap County nonmotorized routes, and therefore, these trails are identified as part of the nonmotorized routes in the Kitsap County Non -Motorized Facilities Plan. Improvements to Bethel Road have already been programmed through the Bethel Road and Sedgwick Corridor Plan. Most of Sedgwick Road is designated as highway and future improvement require collaboration with Kitsap County and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). Continued design improvements for Salmonberry Road West are part of the Bethel Phase 1 project.

Kitsap Transit's 2022-2042 Long -Range Transit Plan identifies several major projects that will improve transit service and access in Sedgwick-Bethel. These include the implementation of high -capacity transit options, such as bus rapid transit (BRT) along Port Orchard Sedgwick Bethel Subarea Plan 24 Existing Conditions - DRAFT August 2024 Bethel Road and constructing a new SR 16 Transit Center with a park -and -ride lot near the Sedgwick Road interchange (see EXHIBIT 2-1 1).

One of the most notable features of newer subdivision are the private HOA managed playgrounds and open spaces, which enhance the quality of life for residents and offer a greater sense of community through shared spaces. The Port Orchard Parks, Recreation & Open Space Plan (PROS) identifies a large site on Sedgwick/Geiger/Blueberry/ Ramsey as a potential local or neighborhood athletic park equipped with picnic shelters, playgrounds, multi -purpose fields, and skateboarding features to provide more outdoor recreation opportunities in the area. Other potential parks identified include a park plaza centrally located in the Subarea (see EXHIBIT 2-12). Critical Areas Preservation and protection of wetlands and their buffers is central to urban - environment balance. Wetlands are vital to the local hydrologic cycle and offer a range of beneficial functions, such as wildlife habitat, improving water quality, reducing flood risks, and retaining stormwater. When impacts of wetlands are unavoidable, wetland replacement or wetland mitigation banks must be utilized to mitigate impacts in accordance with Chapter 20.162 of the Port Orchard Municipal Code. Blackjack Creek is the largest stream system in Port Orchard spanning a length of approximately three miles within the city limits (not including tributaries) and is considered one of the largest and most productive fish producing streams in South Kitsap. In recent years, the City has taken steps to protect the Blackjack Creek corridor and preserve and/or restore ecological function. Blackjack Terrace Open Space, located west of Vallair Connector, acts as a dedicated natural wooded buffer and much of the area surrounding Blackjack Creek is zoned Greenbelt. There is no public access to Blackjack Creek near Bethel -Lund, presenting an opportunity for a potential new trail connecting Blackjack Creek to adjacent subdivisions. The creation of such trail would promote outdoor recreation and cultivate environmental stewardship within the Subarea. The 2023 the Port Orchard Stormwater and Watersheds Comprehensive Plan assessed stormwater system impacts on local receiving waters based partly on impervious surfaces land coverage. Lower Blackjack Creek was ranked Moderate/High, indicating a greater level of water quality degradation. Impacts to water resources could increase due to new and upcoming development in the area. Surface water and stormwater capital improvement projects were developed to address the problems identified in the plan. Among the ten prioritized projects is the Salmonberry Road Lower Blackjack Creek Port Orchard Sedgwick Bethel Subarea Plan 26 Existing Conditions - DRAFT August 2024 Culvert Retrofit, which will remove and replace an existing culvert with a new storm conveyance system (see EXHIBIT 2-12). The Bethel/Sedgwick Corridor Plan also programmed stormwater infrastructure along the Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road to protect critical downstream creeks and waterways (i.e. Blackjack Creek).

This has driven a rapid increase in housing unit demand and production, including in the Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea. Overall, Port Orchard's population is younger and more diverse than regional averages, with smaller household sizes than the county and the state, and somewhat lower incomes than county and statewide averages, and the Sedgwick-Bethel area has very similar age breakdown to the City as a whole with a relatively large share of young residents, as shown below in EXHIBIT 2-13.

PSRC does not provide a detailed breakdown of these jobs by sector, but the U.S. Census's OnTheMap tool does provide estimates for job sectors in the Subarea, shown below. Retail jobs comprise the majority of employment in the subarea, with various retail centers along the Sedgwick corridor. Food and other service jobs are also present in smaller quantities. As shown, the employment mix in the Subarea has not changed significantly over the past decade.

These alternatives serve as a framework for evaluating different development pathway. The chart below describes the key features recommended in each of the land use alternatives. Alternative 1 No Action Utilize current zoning and moves forward with existing policies and planned public improvements. A notable exception will be zoning changes necessary to comply with the State's middle housing legislation. Alternative 2 Alternative 3 1 Light Touch Mixed Use/Transit-Oriented Development Create flexible regulations and implement strategic zoning changes to accommodate growth and promote efficient mix of uses. Improve pedestrian mobility and access to parks and open space. Leverage planned transportation improvements and expand growth through mixed use opportunities to support walkable neighborhoods and economic vitality. Advance regional trail and safe routes to school to support multimodal network. The table below present the distinctions between each alternative, focusing on whether the assumed future development will prioritize greater vertical mixed -use development or retain the current configuration while strategically redesignating zones to encourage more commercial and residential capacity within Sedgwick-Bethel.

Port Orchard Sedgwick Bethel Subarea Plan 44 Goals and Vision • DRAFT August 2024 Plan Concept Informed by the results of community engagement, analysis of existing assets, challenges, and opportunities, and evaluation of alternative scenarios, this plan recommends a set of actions to transform Sedgwick-Bethel into a thriving urban center. The vision is to create a vibrant, sustainable and well-connected neighborhood. Plan recommendations include: Invest in transit infrastructure while simultaneously enhancing public spaces, such as streetscapes, parks, and plazas. This dual approach will create a neighborhood that is not only well-connected but also abundant in amenities, fostering a sense of community and improving the overall urban experience for residents, workers, and visitors alike. Enhance walking, biking, and rolling connections to make it easier and more comfortable for people to navigate the neighborhood and access neighborhood amenities such as grocery stores schools, transit stops and future BRT stations without needing a car. Update zoning, design standards, and regulations strategically to encourage private investment in new homes and workplaces. This approach aims to create a balanced and vibrant community that meets the evolving needs of its residents and supports economic growth. The map below illustrates the key features recommended in the subarea plan that align with and support the neighborhood vision for Bethel -Lund, highlighting areas for transit investment, public space enhancements, and potential development zones.

These adjustments could include expanding commercial open space requirements and introducing through -block connection requirement. Reduce multifamily and commercial minimum parking requirements within the subarea boundaries to encourage more efficient land use and reduce the reliance on cars Rezone areas south of Salmonberry Road and undeveloped lots east of Geiger Road to increase housing capacity, supporting the development of new residential communities. Preserve current subdivison configuration to maintain neighborhood character while accommodating growth. • Rezone to expand commercial capacity and flexibility along Sedgwick Road, west of Sedgwick Plaza, to promote a more pedestrian friendly mix of uses Adopt height overlay districts, as shown on EXHIBIT 3-2, allowing for modest increases in height limits. This will support compact growth, encourage vertical mixed -use buildings, and facilitate the creation of additional dwelling units. Priorities and Investments Support the Bethel/Sedgwick Corridor Plan to strengthen connections along Bethel Road and Sedgwick Bethel by improving pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and promoting green stormwater management. These enhancements will also elevate the corridor's visual appeal. Explore opportunities to enhance internal connectivity for pedestrians, cyclists, and those using mobility devices to access key destinations, such as Hidden Creek Elementary School and Fred Meyer. Potential improvements could include midblock crossings, protected or buffered bike lanes, street trees, traffic diverters, and other features that enhance mobility and comfort. Specific enhancements will be determined through further study. Pursue public/private partnerships to provide neighborhood amenities that will stimulate desired development. Support the PROS plan to develop Geiger Sedgwick Park as a central, publicly accessible gathering and recreational space for the community Study options to create a regional off-street trail along Blackjack Creek, offering alternative transportation options and promoting the health and well-being of residents. Study options to extend planned BRT route on Bethel Road to SR 16 Transit Center on Sidney Road to facilitate desired transit -oriented development within Sedgwick- Bethel and Ruby Creek.
