Introduction 1.1 Plan Background and Context The centers approach to planning was first introduced in the 2016 Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan. This approach fosters a sustainable future by accommodating growth through concentrated development patterns and preserves the community's valued traits through collaborative planning efforts. This centers approach is also reflected in Vision 2050, the regional plan adopted by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), and in the Countywide Planning Policies managed by Kitsap County. According to Vision 2050, centers are hubs that serve as important focal points for jobs, housing, shopping, and recreation, and are supported by multimodal transportation including transit. Centers create spaces where people can gather, live, and thrive. In alignment with PSRC's criteria outlined in Vision 2050, the 2024 Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan designates six "countywide centers" and three "local centers." Sedgwick-Bethel is a countywide center. Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan Introduction - December 2024 The City of Port Orchard gathered community input to inform this Subarea plan. Input was collected through a an in -person workshop and an online survey to evaluate alternative concepts. This feedback informed the locally preferred land use and urban design vision in the plan. The plan presents a vision for Sedgwick-Bethel to be a walkable, mixed -use urban neighborhood by updating development regulations, encouraging transit -oriented development and redevelopment, and increasing open space and recreational opportunities in the area. 1.2 Study Area The Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea is located at the intersection of Sedgwick Road and Bethel Road. It is bordered by Port Orchard's unincorporated area to the east and by Blackjack Creek to the west. The area includes recent developments and other vacant and developable lands. The Subarea covers a total of 235.7 acres. Following a thorough evaluation, the Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea is larger than initially mapped in the 2016 Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan. The larger area includes more areas of potential development and recently constructed residential subdivisions. The southwestern boundary has also been revised to exclude critical areas. This updated boundary better aligns with PSRC guidance for countywide growth centers.

TABLE 1-1 Designation Criteria for Countywide Growth Centers Identified as a countywide center in the countywide The Kitsap Countywide Planning Policies planning policies Appedix D: List of Centers identified Sedgwick/Bethel Center as a countywide center candidiate. Located within a city or unincorporated urban area Demonstration that the center is a local planning and investment priority: ■ Identified as a countywide center in a local comprehensive plan; subarea plan recommended ■ Clear evidence that area is a local priority for investment, such as planning efforts or infrastructure The center is a location for compact, mixed -use development; including: ■ A minimum existing activity unit density of 10 activity units per acre ■ Planning and zoning for a minimum mix of uses of 20 percent residential and 20 percent employment unless unique circumstances make these percentages not possible to achieve. ■ Capacity and planning for additional growth The center supports multi -modal transportation, including: ■ Transit service ■ Pedestrian infrastructure and amenities ■ Street pattern that supports walkability ■ Bicycle infrastructure and amenities Sedgwick-Bethel is located within the Port Orchard city limits. This area is identified as a countywide center in the Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan Centers Strategy as found in the Land Use Element Section 2.8. In addition to the development of this plan, various intergovernmental and agency transportation investments planned within Sedgwick-Bethel, detailed in Section 2.2 Transportation. These include: ■ Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road Corridor Plan ■ Kitsap Transit Long -Range Transit Plan 2022-2042 ■ Port Orchard 2025-2030/2031-2044 - 6 Year/20 Year Transportation Improvement Program TABLE 1-2 Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Capacity Summary indicates that Sedgwick-Bethel meets the minimim existing activity unit density, and has capacity to accommodate 20.8 activity units per acre. Existing mix of residential (74%) and employment (26%) use surpass the minimum mix requiremen t. There is existing transit service in the Subarea and some limited pedestrian infrastructure. The Subarea plan identifies multi -modal transportation investments that are in various stages of planning and design (see the 'priority' checklist item above), including projects for enhanced Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 3 Introduction • December 2024 bus service, new sidewalks and crossings, potential off-street trails, and bike facilities. The Subarea plan also identifies conceptual locations for some new streets. Development regulations will incrementally result in higher -quality private develoment with walkable frontages and pedestrian - oriented site and building design. Compact, walkable size of one -quarter mile squared The Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea is 235.7 acres. (160 acres), up to half -mile transit walkshed (500 acres) Capacity In addition to the PSRC Countywide Growth Centers framework above, Kitsap County's Countywide Planning Policies establishes that Countywide Centers must show a minimum of 10 activity units per acre. TABLE 1-2 below summarizes the existing, pipeline, and additional land capacity for housing and jobs in the Subarea. An activity unit is one person or one job. The additional land capacity is based on the development pattern outlined in this plan (see Planning Framework). As shown, the Subarea's existing and pipeline development meets the Countywide Centers Designation Criteria and, with additional land capacity, can accommodate up to 19.1 activity units per acre.

Existing Conditions 2.1 Existing Land Use and Zoning The Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea is an EXHIBIT 2-1 emerging commercial hub at the southeastern corner of Port Orchard city limits. It has long had a mix of rural and suburban commercial attributes, though has recently been seeing more single-family and multifamily residential development. Sedgwick-Bethel contains a mix of land uses including a large grocery store, smaller retail shops, restaurants, and general services (see EXHIBIT 2-2). There are three commercial clusters located along Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road including Bethel Centre, SOURCE: Google Earth, 2024 Sedgwick Plaza, and Fred Meyer. There are civic facilities, such as Hidden Creek Elementary School, located just outside of the Subarea to the southeast. New Residential Developments Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 6 Existing Conditions - December 2024 In 2017, major residential construction projects began in Sedgwick-Bethel. The first of these projects was Andaiso Village, a single-family subdivision in the northwestern quadrant of the area. Following this came construction of the Magnolia Ridge and Sidney Ridge subdivisions. The first phase of a new multifamily residential complex, Pottery Creek Apartments, was recently built on the southern edge of the Subarea and second phase will be completed in 2024. 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. Low height limits can be a barrier to achieving the added dwelling units and vertical mixed -use buildings necessary to concentrate growth in the Subarea, as envisioned by the City's land use and centers policies. The increased cost and risk of developing mixed -use structures and leasing ground -floor commercial space (compared to a single -use, low-rise apartment building) can be offset by a higher amount of residential floor area. This is because allowing additional dwelling units which can help spread out of the cost of construction across more units. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, developers are indicating increased risk associated with commercial development due to continued uncertainty about retail and office markets (this is a nationwide trend but was also confirmed in local stakeholder interviews for the Port Orchard Housing Action Plan). 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 that 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.

See next section on middle housing. Commercial zoning represents a large share of the Subarea. The CMU zone offers the most flexibility for residential uses because it allows single -purpose apartment buildings, townhouses, and mixed -use buildings. The CC zone allows apartments only in mixed -use buildings and residential use is mostly prohibited in the CH zone. Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 1 1 Existing Conditions • December 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 primarily 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 homes 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-person population threshold and become a Tier 2 city. Tier 2 cities are required to allow at least two units per lot and also at least four units per lot when a lot provides one affordable housing unit or a lot is near a major transit stop. Should Kitsap Transit implement bus rapid transit in the Bethel corridor, stops for that service will be considered 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 12 Existing Conditions • December 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 Sedgwick Road 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 uses black dashed lines to indicate planned locations for new streets. Such streets can be created through a public 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 13 Existing Conditions • December 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 are 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 set back 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 14 Existing Conditions • December 2024 Residential development consists of detached single-family 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. 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. EXHIBIT 2-5 Looking west from Sedgwick Road SOURCE: Google, 2024 Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 15 Existing Conditions • December 2024 These design standards consist of: • Article II - Block Frontage Standards (described above). Most importantly, new buildings must be located adjacent to Bethel and Sedgwick rather than set back behind parking. • Article III - Site Planning Standards o Standards for light and air access to residential dwelling units 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 Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 16 Existing Conditions - December 2024 2.2 Transportation Recent Transportation Planning Efforts Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road Corridor Plan 2018 The objective of this study was to develop a comprehensive plan and conceptual design for two major corridors in Port Orchard: Sedgwick Road (State Route 160) and Bethel Road. These 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 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 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 streets, while strengthening connections among the area neighborhoods. Phase I of the Bethel Road corridor improvements includes roundabouts at the intersections of Bethel Road with Blueberry Road and Salmonberry Road.

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, connecting the city to the other parts of the county. Bethel Road is generally a three -lane road with a center turn lane, and carries 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 provides convenient access to the State Route 16 interchange. State Route 16 is a regional route that connects Kitsap County to Pierce County and ends at Interstate 5. To the north, State Route 16 links to State Route 3, providing access to northern Kitsap County. The Bethel and Sedgwick Corridor Plan analyzed the crash frequency along the study segments from 2013-2017. Between the two corridors, Sedgwick Road has more crashes. Crashes on Sedgwick Road are spread out along the study segment, while on the Bethel corridor, certain intersections such as Lund Avenue, Salmonberry Road, and Mitchell Road have experienced more crashes than others. Crashes related to turning movements 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 bicyclists on either study corridor over the 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 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. Vehicular traffic is limited to a few streets, leading to increased congestion, safety concerns, and road deterioration associated with those streets. 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. This plan envisions several streets, particularly in the northwest quadrant of the Subarea, to allow greater options for vehicular access and circulation. See EXHIBIT 2-9. Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 20 Existing Conditions - December 2024 The City's Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) identifies planned transportation projects and enhancements including intersection improvements, street extensions, pedestrian and bicycle facilities upgrades, and installation of stormwater infrastructure.

Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 22 Existing Conditions • December 2024 Pedestrian Circulation and Access Most existing sidewalks are located along a portion of Sedgwick Road (east of Bethel Road) and the portion of Blueberry Road west of Bethel Road. Sidewalks are also being installed in concert with new development, such as residential subdivisions. However, many older 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. Pedestrian crossings are limited to the signalized intersection at Beth el/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 is limited, which can reduce the safety and comfort of walking at night. Overall, the environment in the Subarea is unpleasant for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other wheeled device users, such as 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 Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea are listed in TABLE 2-4. Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 23 Existing Conditions • December 2024 Bicycle Facilities 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 requires 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.

Route 8 operates six days a week with half-hour headways. There is currently no transit service offered on Sedgwick Road. 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 Bethel Road and constructing a new SR 16 Transit Center with a park -and -ride lot on Sidney Road, located in the Ruby Creek neighborhood west of the SR 16/Sedgwick Road interchange (see EXHIBIT 2-1 1). Additionally, a new fixed -route bus route is planned on Sedgwick Road, to connect Southworth to the SR 16 Transit Center. These projects and expanded services are expected to enhance accessibility and convenience while providing more travel options for people living and working in the Subarea.

One notable feature of new subdivisions are private HOA-managed parks and playgrounds. These amenities 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 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 Kifsap. In recent years, the City has taken steps to protect the Blackjack Creek corridor and preserve and/or restore ecological function. There is no public access to Blackjack Creek near Sedgwick-Bethel, presenting an opportunity for a potential new trail connecting Blackjack Creek to adjacent subdivisions. The creation of such a 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 surface 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. Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 28 Existing Conditions • December 2024 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 programs stormwater infrastructure along 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. 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 provided a framework for evaluating different development pathways. The chart below described the key features considered in the alternatives. For greater detail about the distinction between each alternative, see Note 3: Sedgwick-Bethel Land Use Alternatives. Alternative 1 No Action Utilize current zoning and move 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 Light Touch Mixed Use/Transit-Oriented Development Create flexible regulations and implement strategic zoning changes to accommodate growth and promote an 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. Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 37 Goals and Vision • December 2024 3.3 Preferred Alternative: Planning Framework Values The following values were developed from the plan's purpose and context and shaped by community engagement. Safe, efficient, and comfortable multimodal mobility. Prioritize the development of a transportation system that ensures safety, efficiency, and comfort for all users — whether they are walking, biking, driving, or using public transit. This value highlights the importance of creating a well-connected and accessible neighborhood where residents and visitors can easily navigate using various modes of transportation, fostering greater mobility and reducing reliance on single -occupancy vehicles. Thriving center with diverse uses. Promote the development of a vibrant community center that offers a harmonious blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. This center will act as dynamic hub where people can work, live, and play. The neighborhood is economically resilient and has a lively, multifaceted environment that meets the many needs of the community. Access to recreation. Provide convenient access to high -quality recreational facilities, parks, and open spaces. These amenities are essential for fostering physical health, mental well-being, and social connections, significantly enhancing the overall quality of life within the community and creating inviting spaces for leisure and interaction. Open spaces support important ecological functions such as wildlife habitat and stormwater management. Resilient and sustainable community. Cultivate a community that is resilient to environmental, economic, and social challenges. Sustainable practices are used in development, including the implementation of green infrastructure and the preservation of critical areas. Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 38 Goals and Vision • December 2024 Plan Concept The plan concept is informed by the community engagement, an analysis of existing assets, and a review of challenges and opportunities. The concept consists of a set of actions to transform Sedgwick-Bethel into a more active urban center. The vision is to create a vibrant, sustainable, and well-connected neighborhood. Plan recommendations include: Invest in public spaces, such as streetscapes, parks, and plazas. This will foster a sense of community and improve 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 community that meets the evolving needs of residents and supports economic growth. EXHIBIT 3-2 illustrates the key features recommended in the subarea plan that align with and support the neighborhood vision for Sedgwick-Bethel, highlighting areas for transit investment, public space enhancements, and potential development zones.

Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 49 Action Plan • December 2024 4, Action Plan This chapter describes the key steps to achieve the vision for Sedgwick-Bethel. Although this is a long-term plan that includes actions to take place over the next 20 years, several priority actions should be accomplished over the next few years. For this plan to be realized, public and private investment will be required. Trends over the past 20 years show that, without change, private investment alone will not achieve the Subarea vision, goals, and policies. The following steps lay the groundwork for attracting private investment and shaping the built environment. Port Orchard will need to dedicate staff resources for code updates and secure additional funding sources for capital investments. The following table of actions summarizes the recommended steps with ideal timing, priority, and potential costs (represented generally from low to high as $, $$, and $$$).

These policies are not tailored this Subarea but should be implemented across all centers. For specific policies related to Sedgwick-Bethel, see 3.4 Subarea Goals & Policies. 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 Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 54 Notes • DRAFT December 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 Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 55 Notes • DRAFT December 2024 Note 2: 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 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. Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 56 Notes • DRAFT December 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. Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 57 Notes • DRAFT December 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 Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 58 Notes • DRAFT December 2024 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." "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, ten nis/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 Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 59 Notes • DRAFT December 2024 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" "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 Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 60 Notes - DRAFT December 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.

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 Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 66 Notes • DRAFT December 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 Sedgwick-Bethel. Height limits Commercial/ mixed -use zoning Residential zoning Affordable housing Parking 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. No change No change No change 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 (i.e., Fred Meyer). 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. 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 Sedgwick- Bethel 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. Public No change.

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 Sedgwick- Bethel. An additional trail is planned in the Geiger Road corridor north and south of Sedgwick and in the northeast area between Sedgwick and Salmonberry. Bethel/Sedgwick improvements and other TIP projects occur as currently planned. In addition: • Midblock crossings are added on Lund and Sedgwick east and west of Bethel • Sidewalks and bike lanes are added on Lund and Sedgwick east of Bethel. • Existing commercial driveways are right -sized for pedestrian safety and comfort spaces within the subarea boundaries, e.g. 4% of site area. 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. Same as Alternative 2. In addition, new all -ages - and -abilities walking and biking routes (such as a wider sidewalk or off-street trail and protected bike lanes) are added to connect the subareas to Hidden Creek Elementary School. Port Orchard Sedgwick-Bethel Subarea Plan 68 Notes • DRAFT December 2024 New street connections Transit service Capital facilities Utilities Natural systems None except for minor street extensions as part of new developments. Kitsap Transit provides enhanced bus service on Bethel Road at a undetermined future date. No change TBD. Bethel/Sedgwick improvements appear to include some stormwater system upgrades. TBD. Continue preserving the Blackjack Creek ravine. Some existing vegetated properties could be opportunities for open space preservation and/or City acquisition for park space. New planned streets as shown in the block frontage maps (POMC 20.127.130) are implemented by future development. Kitsap Transit provides bus rapid transit to Downtown, with a terminus at Sedgwick-Bethel. In a citywide facilities plan, assess whether Sedgwick- Bethel, which has more vacant land available, is a viable location for public works and/or public safety facilities needed to support the eastern part of the city and the adjacent urban growth area (future annexation area). TBD TBD Same as Alternative 2. In addition, new through - block connection requirements are added to add more frequent vehicle and pedestrian routes. Kitsap Transit provides bus rapid transit to Downtown, with service extending west on Sedgwick (possibly to the Ruby Creek area at Sedgwick-Sydney).
