13 - Bethel Subareas AppendicesAppendix • DRAFT September 2024 Appendix Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan 1 Appendix • DRAFT September 2024 Appendix A: Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan - Centers Goals and Policies The Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan contains the following centers policies. These policies are not tailored this Subarea but should be implemented across all centers. For policies specific to Bethel -Lund, see Section 3.4 Policy CN-1. Prioritize the City's residential, commercial and light industrial growth and infrastructure investments within designated Centers, in accordance with VISION 2050 and the Countywide Planning Policies. Policy CN-2. Focus future growth in designated, higher intensity areas in an effort to encourage the preservation of open space and maintain surrounding neighborhood character. Policy CN-3. Shorten commutes by concentrating housing and employment in strategic locations, which provides residents opportunities to live and work in the same neighborhood. Policy CN-4. Provide commercial services that serve the population of the Center, surrounding neighborhoods, the city, and the region (dependent on the suitability of the scale of each Center). Policy CN-5. Support pedestrian and transit uses by promoting compact, mixed -use areas with appropriate infrastructure that provide a variety of activities. Policy CN-6. Balance objectives for accommodating growth, encouraging compatibility, promoting housing affordability, and offering a wide range of housing types. Policy CN-7. Provide access to parks and public pedestrian spaces by creating them within each Center or by creating connections to existing public and open spaces. Policy CN-8. During subarea planning for Centers, develop an implementation plan that addresses how the City will meet Center goals through appropriate land use designations, annexation, development of capital facilities and utilities, and related measures. Policy CN-9. The City shall direct growth to Centers of all types through focused regulations and directed capital projects. Policy CN-10. The City should support employment growth, the increased use of non - automobile transportation options, and the preservation of the character of existing built-up areas by encouraging residential and mixed -use development at increased densities in designated Centers. Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan 2 Appendix • DRAFT September 2024 Policy CN-1 1. The City shall ensure that higher density development in Centers is either within walking or biking distance of jobs, schools, and parks and is well - served by public transit. Policy CN-12. The City shall create and designate zoning that allows a mix of uses to accommodate concentrations of employment and housing. Policy CN-13. The City shall encourage abroad range of housing types and commercial uses within designated Centers, through zoning and development regulations that serve a local, Citywide, or regional market. Policy CN-14. The City shall encourage the creation of public open space, private open space, and parks within and serving designated centers Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan 3 Appendix • DRAFT September 2024 Appendix B: Bethel Subarea Plans Engagement Summary FROM: Makers Architecture and Urban Design DATE: August 15, 2024 Subarea Workshop Summary On July 29, 2024, the project team, which included the City, AHBL, and MAKERS, organized an in -person open house at the Kitsap Regional Library Port Orchard branch. 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 Sedawick-Bethel Existin Conditions Report. Confirm preliminary findings of neighborhood assets and challenges and gather additional input on community priorities 300 page views (user visits on the Subareas project website including the main landing page and subarea subpages) 123 unique visitors; 61 unique visitors to the Sedgwick-Bethel subpage and 24 unique visitors to the Bethel -Lund subpage. All other unique visitors were to the main landing page. Bethel -Lund and Sedawick-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. Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan 4 Appendix • DRAFT September 2024 Consultants and City Staff address questions from attendees during the presentation and open house portion of the workshop. 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 Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan 5 Appendix • DRAFT September 2024 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. 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. " Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan 6 Appendix • DRAFT September 2024 "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." "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 feel] 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: Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan Appendix • DRAFT September 2024 "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" "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 Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan 8 Appendix - DRAFT September 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.

Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan Appendix - DRAFT September 2024 Appendix C: Bethel Subareas Alternatives FROM: Makers Architecture and Urban Design DATE: August 28, 2024 Subareas Land Use Alternatives The Bethel -Lund and Sedgwick-Bethel Land Use alternatives present potential development scenarios tailored to the unique characteristics of the Subareas, informed by a thorough analysis of existing assets, challenges, and opportunities. These alternatives serve as a framework for evaluating different development pathways and engage the public in the decision -making process. Through a combination of an in - person workshop and an online survey, residents had the opportunity to choose the most desirable components and design elements from these alternatives, ultimately leading to the development of a locally -preferred land use alternative. The chart below describes the key features recommended in each of the land use alternatives.

Advance regional trail and safe routes to school to support multimodal network. Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan 14 Appendix • DRAFT September 2024 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 the Bethel Subareas. Height limits Commercial/ mixed -use zoning No change, current limits of 35-40' Limited or no changes. There is a mix of CC, CMU, and CH zoning in the areas today. Residential No change zoning Adopt the "proposed base height limit" from HAP Strategy 2.3.2. These changes would only apply within subarea boundaries and not citywide. R3 - 45 feet (+10 feet) R4 - 45 feet (no change) CC - 45 feet (+10 feet) CMU - 55 feet (+15 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. Affordable No change. Explore MFTE opportunities housing for the subareas. Parking No change 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. Adopt the "proposed bonus height limit" from HAP Strategy 2.3.2 as the base height limit. These changes would only apply within subarea boundaries and not citywide. R4 - 55 feet (+10 feet) 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. Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan 15 Appendix • DRAFT September 2024 Public space/plaza Public parks/green space Off-street trails No change No change. Lundberg Park and Bethel South properties remain in limbo with no development plans and are at risk of disposition. No change 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. A central plaza at the Bethel Junction area. Neighborhood park within future residential development in Sedgwick Road Sedgwick-Bethel: 1. Develop PROS identified potential park north of the Sedgwick-Geiger intersection. 2. Bethel South property is leveraged to acquire adjacent properties and create a neighborhood park on the southwest corner of Bethel-Sedgwick intersection. 3. An additional future neighborhood park location is identified east of the Bethel - Blueberry intersection. A limited Blackjack Creek ravine trail is planned adjacent to each subarea. For Bethel- Sedgwick (South) an additional trail is planned in the Geiger Road corridor north and south of Sedgwick and in the northeast area between 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. Large iconic park south of Vallair 2. Restore and developed a wetland park north of Walgreens Sedgwick-Bethel: Same as Alternative 2; focus investments on Geiger Park Same as Alternative 2, but a longer Blackjack Creek ravine trail is planned to connect between the two subareas. A new east - west pedestrian/bike connection across the ravine is planned in the vicinity of Salmonberry Road.

These elements emphasize the importance of mixed -use developments featuring neighborhood parks, enhancing commercial opportunities along arterial corridors, improving access to parks and trails, and expanding multimodal transportation options. Many online survey respondents favored Alternative 3 in both Subareas, while opinions were split among workshop attendees. Some workshop attendees raised concerns about the increase in height and density and impact of these changes on transportation infrastructure and the overall character of the neighborhoods. The community outreach process highlighted several core values that align with the desired elements of the Subareas' land use alternatives Safe, efficient, and comfortable multimodal mobility Thriving centers with diverse uses for people to work, live, and play Access to recreational facilities, parks, and open space Resilient and sustainable community For more detailed information on the engagement effort and feedback regarding the subarea, refer to the Subarea Engagement Summary Memo. The community engagement results guide the preferred alternatives to realize the vision of creating a walkable, vibrant community. These alternatives leverage planned transportation improvements, increase commercial and residential capacity through flexible development options, and expand community assets where residents can gather. With these goals in mind, the Bethel -Lund and Sedgwick-Bethel preferred alternatives aim to revitalize the community and improve the well-being of residents Port Orchard Bethel Subareas Plan 25 Appendix - DRAFT September 2024 Bethel -Lund Preferred Alternative The map below illustrates the key features that support a cohesive, connected neighborhood aligning with the community's vision for Bethel -Lund.
