Council Meeting Minutes
Study Session
March 21, 2006
ALSO PRESENT: City Attorney Combs and Administrative Secretary Boltz
The Mayor called the Study Session to order at 7:00 p.m. to discuss the Government Use
Master Plan Overlay District.
City Attorney Combs gave a brief history stating that the Government Use Master Plan Overlay
District (GMPD) was added during the 2003 Comprehensive Plan amendments. The GMPD
encompasses the areas between Dwight Street, Cline Avenue, Kendall Street and Sidney
Avenue with sub areas including properties lying north of Smith Street and the second lying
south of Smith Street. The areas encourage pedestrian friendly areas and pedestrian flow
areas.
City Attorney Combs stated that the Master Plan document is intended to be a living document
and should be reviewed and/or revised approximately every couple years.
City Attorney Combs used the County building located on Taylor Street as an example of
buildings to be built on the perimeter of the GMPD as to not conflict with the aesthetics of the
residential uses on adjacent streets.
Councilmember Powers questioned how the implementation of a single property would occur
and still implement the elements of the GMPD.
Council discussed the definition of "eating establishments" as described in 18.98.030(c). City
Attorney Combs clarified that the establishments within the GMPD would be sized to support the
uses within the GMPD. Staff would determine whether an economic analysis would be required
based on the size of the project at application.
City Attorney Combs stated that at such time that Kitsap County creates a Master Site Plan,
temporary uses would be eliminated.
Council discussed the timing for the County's submittal of a Master Site Plan Permit Application.
Councilmember Clauson suggested negotiating a reasonable time line with the County and the
possibility of implementing the Master Site Plan in phases.
City Attorney Combs opened discussion with the Council in regards to the use of a Hearings
Examiner during the Master Site Plan Permit review process.
