requirements, shall govern a use located within the Port Orchard incorporated area.
16.30.020 Interpretation of land use tables.
The land use tables in this chapter determine whether a specific use is allowed in a zone
district. The zone district is located on the column and the specific use is located on the row of
these tables.
(1) If no symbol appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use is not
allowed in that district, except for certain temporary uses.
Ordinance No. 016-17

(2) If the letter "P" appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use is
allowed in that district subject to the review procedures and general requirements specified in
this title.
(3) If the letter "C" appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use is
allowed subject to the conditional use review procedures and general requirements specified in
this title.
(4) If a number appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use may
be allowed subject to the appropriate review process indicated above, the general
requirements of this title, and the specific conditions indicated in the development condition
with the corresponding number immediately following the land use table.
(5) If more than one letter-number combination appears in the box at the intersection of the
column and the row, the use is allowed in that zone subject to different sets of limitations or
conditions depending on the review process indicated by the letter, the general requirements
of this title, and the specific conditions indicated in the development condition with the
corresponding number immediately following the table.
(6) All applicable requirements shall govern a use whether or not they are cross-referenced in a

16.40.010 Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to establish basic dimensional standards for development in
relation to residential density, as well as specific rules for general application. These standards
and rules are established to provide flexibility in project design, provide solar access, and
maintain privacy between adjacent uses.
16.40.020 Interpretation of table.
(1) The table in POMC 16.40.025 contains general density and dimension standards for the
various zones within the city, as well as limitations specific to a particular zone(s). Additional
rules, exceptions, and methodologies relating to density and dimension are set forth in this
chapter.
(2) The densities and dimensions table in POMC 16.40.025 is arranged in a matrix format.
Development standards are listed down the left side of the table, and the zones are listed at the
top. The matrix cells contain the minimum dimensional requirements of the zone. The
parenthetical numbers in the matrix identify specific requirements applicable to a specific use
or zone. A blank box indicates that the standard does not apply in that situation. If more than
one standard appears in a cell, each standard will be subject to any applicable parenthetical
footnote following the standard. See Table 16.40.025, Densities and Dimensions.

20. Maximum building height may be increased from 27 feet up to a maximum of 39 feet through conditional use
permit approval. Building height shall be measured from the uphill elevation of either the existing or finished
grade, whichever is lower, at the foundation or slab. Average uphill elevation shall be used if not level.
21. Building height shall be measured to the highest point of the structure or any appurtenance of the structure.
22. The maximum density allowed in the mixed use zone within the central downtown overlay district shall be 48
units per acre.
23. Minimum setback from front yard ROW: 10 ft to house wall; 20 ft to garage door; 5 ft to porch.
24. Minimum setback for side yard: 5 ft to lot line; 10 ft to ROW (corner lot).
25. Minimum setback for rear yard: 10 ft to house wall; 5 ft to unenclosed patio at ground level.
16.40.030 Measurement methods.
The following provisions shall be used to determine compliance with this chapter;
(1) Street setbacks shall be measured from the existing edge of public rights-of-way, improved
or unimproved.
(2) Structure height shall be measured from the uphill elevation of the finished grade at the slab
or foundation, whichever is lower, to the highest point on the structure roof. If the uphill
elevation is not level, then the average uphill elevation shall be the measurement basis.
(3) Lot area shall be the total horizontal land area contained within the boundaries of a lot.
(4) Impervious surface calculations shall not include areas of turf, softscape landscaping, natural
Ordinance No. 016-17
Page 66 of 72
vegetation, or surface water retention/detention facilities
16.40.035 Calculations - Minimum and maximum density.
(1) The minimum density shall be calculated by multiplying the development's subject site net
useable site area, as calculated pursuant to POMC 16.40.040, by the minimum number of
dwelling units required in the applicable zoning district.
(2) The maximum density shall be calculated by multiplying the development's subject site net
useable site area, as calculated pursuant to POMC 16.40.040, by the maximum number of
dwelling units allowed in the applicable zoning district.
(3) The units associated with assisted living, congregate care, nursing home, residential care
facilities and the like, that rely on shared cooking/dining facilities, will not be counted for
purposes of the minimum/maximum density calculation. Independent dwelling units (i.e.,
containing a bed, bathroom, and a kitchen with a sink, stove, and refrigerator) in such group
living residential uses, however, shall be counted as individual dwelling units in the density
calculation. The density for nonindependent dwelling units shall not be transferred to another
portion of the development.
16.40.040 Calculations - Net useable site area.
The net useable site area is the development subject site's total (gross) site area minus areas
for public rights-of-way, private road easements, designated critical areas and buffer
protection, and stormwater management facilities; but not including parks and public or private
recreation facilities dedicated or created as an integral part of the development.
16.40.050 Calculations - Allowable dwelling units.
Permitted number of units shall be determined as follows:
(1) The maximum allowed number of dwelling units shall be computed by multiplying the net
useable site area by the applicable residential density.
(2) When calculations result in a fraction, the fraction shall be rounded to the nearest whole
number as follows:
Ordinance No. 016-17
Page 67 of 72
(a) Fractions of 0.50 or above shall be rounded up; and
(b) Fractions below 0.50 shall be rounded down.
16.40.060 Density credits.
Critical areas and their buffers may be used in the calculation of allowed residential density
whenever two or more residential lots or two or more multifamily dwelling units are created
subject to the following limitations:
(1) Full density credit shall be allowed for erosion and seismic hazard areas. Flood hazard areas
outside of streams, wetlands, or associated buffers shall be counted for full density credit.
(2) No density credit shall be
allowed for streams, lakes,
ponds, and other bodies of
water.(3) Partial to full
density credit shall be
allowed for steep slopes,
landslide hazard areas,
wetlands, and required
buffers for any critical area
according to the following
table:Percent of Site in
Buffers and/or Critical
Areas (percent)

(2) No density credit shall be
allowed for streams, lakes,
ponds, and other bodies of
water.(3) Partial to full
density credit shall be
allowed for steep slopes,
landslide hazard areas,
wetlands, and required
buffers for any critical area
according to the following
table:Percent of Site in
Buffers and/or Critical
Areas (percent)
Density Credit
(percent)
81-90 20
91-99 10
(4) Allowed density on sites containing critical areas shall be calculated as follows:
(a) Determine the percentage of site area in critical areas and buffers by dividing
the total area in required critical areas and buffers by the total site area.
(b) Multiply the density credit percentage set forth in subsection (3) of this section
by the site area in critical areas and buffers to determine the effective critical area.
(c) Add the effective critical area to the site area not in critical areas or buffers.
The resulting acres shall be considered the effective site area for purposes of
determining the allowable dwelling units pursuant to the zoning regulations.
(d) By way of example, the density credit provisions apply as follows for a 10-acre
site under the R8 zone:
(i) The square feet in the site is 435,600 of which ponds include 45,000 square
feet, steep slopes include 82,000 square feet, and required wetland buffers
include 60,000 square feet.
Ordinance No. 016-17
Page 69 of 72
(ii) Divide the total amount of critical areas and buffers (187,000 square feet)
by the total site (435,600 square feet) equal to 42.9 percent.
(iii) Apply the density credit from the chart (equal to a 60 percent density
credit where the amount of site in a critical area is between 4l and 50
percent).
(iv) Multiply the steep slopes and required buffers only (142,000 square feet
since no credit is received for ponds) by the density credit of 60 percent equal
to 85,200 square feet.
(v) Add the unconstrained site area (248,600 square feet) plus the critical
area density credit (85,200 square feet) to create the effective site area for
density calculations (333,800 square feet).
(vi) Divide the total effective site area by 43,560 square feet to determine
acreage (333,800 square feet/43,560 square feet/acre equals 7.6 acres) and
multiply by the density allowed in the R8 zone (7.6 acres multiplied by eight
dwelling units/acre) equals 60.8 which is rounded up to 61 dwelling units
maximum (note that the maximum density may be reduced by other
provisions of this code).
(5) The density transfer can be utilized only within the development proposal site. The applicant
may cluster and configure the site's development to accommodate the transfer of density but
cannot change the type of uses or housing products allowed within the zone proper.
16.40.070 Lot area - Reduction prohibited.
Any portion of a lot that was required to calculate and ensure compliance with the standards
and regulations of this chapter shall not be subsequently subdivided or segregated from such
lot.
16.40.080 Setbacks - Modifications.
The following setback modifications are permitted:
(1) When the common property line of two lots is covered by a building(s), the setbacks
Ordinance No. 016-17
Page 70 of 72
required by this chapter shall not apply along the common property lines.
(2) When a lot is located between lots with structures having nonconforming street setbacks,
the required street setback for such middle lot may be the average of the two nonconforming
setbacks or 60 percent of the required street setback, whichever results in the greater street
setback.
16.40.090 Setbacks - Regional utility corridors.
(1) In subdivisions and short subdivisions, areas used as regional utility corridors as identified in
this code shall be contained in separate tracts.
(2) In other types of land development permits, easements shall be used to delineate such
corridors.
(3) All buildings shall maintain a minimum distance of five feet from property or easement lines
delineating the boundary of regional utility corridors, except for utility structures necessary to
the operation of the utility corridor and/or as required by the Department of Health
16.40.100 Setbacks - Alleys.
(1) Structures may be built no closer than 15 feet from the center line of an abutting alley.
(2) Vehicle access points from garages, carports or fenced parking areas shall be set back a
minimum of 10 feet from the alley property line to provide a driving surface.
16.40.110 Setbacks - Adjoining half-street rights-of-way.
In addition to providing the standard street setback, a lot adjoining a half-street right-of-way or
designated arterial shall provide an additional width of street setback sufficient to
accommodate construction of the future planned right-of-way.
16.40.120 Setbacks - Projections allowed.
Projections complying with the adopted International Building Code may extend into the
required setbacks as follows:
(1) On ground and upper floor uses in all districts and on upper floor uses only in the mixed use
Ordinance No. 016-17
Page 71 of 72

(3) Uncovered porches and decks not exceeding 18 inches above the finished grade may project
to the property line.
(4) Roof eaves, including any part of a roof structure whether unsupported or supported by
diagonal bracing to the building, must be more than seven feet above finished grade and may
not project more than:
(a) Twenty-four inches into an interior setback including within a zero lot line development; or
(b) Twenty-four inches into a street setback except where the allowable setback is zero feet as
in the mixed use district within the downtown area.
(5) Fences with a height of six feet or less may project into any setback; provided, that the sight
distance requirements are maintained along street corridors.
16.40.130 Heights - Exceptions to limits.
