Draft Downtown Subarea Plan Sect-02 Updated 4-1-20212 Existing Conditions SECTION 02 1 EXISTING CONDITIONS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 2.1 History iii�, ix, OF PORT ORCHARD The City acknowledges that the Port Orchard and the broader Kitsap Peninsula is home to two Native American tribes, the Suquamish Tribe and the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe. The City of Port Orchard and Sinclair Inlet are within the Tribe's adjudicated Usual and Accustomed (U&A) fishing, hunting and gathering area. The Tribe has a strong historical and present connection in Sinclair Inlet that is significant and well documented. Ethnographic and archaeological evidence demonstrates that the Suquamish Tribe inhabited the area in and around Port Orchard and Sinclair Inlet and has utilized its natural resources (including fish and shellfish) for thousands of years. Sinclair Inlet has been and continues to be an important cultural, historical, economical, and a place of well-being of the Suquamish Tribe. Significant tribal salmon fisheries exist in the inlet. Port Orchard, located in south Kitsap County, was platted as Sidney in 1886 by Frederick Stevens who wanted to name the future town after his father, Sidney Merrill Stevens. He chose a site on the southern shore of the Sinclair Inlet, part of Port Orchard Bay. Sidney quickly became known for its lumber industry, pottery works, small businesses, and agricultural opportunities. - In 1890 it became the first town to inco County.

After 1903, Port Orcha tinued to grow due to the expansion of the naval yard during the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, and the 1960s, and due to Port Orchard's reputation as a quiet waterfront community located in a beautiful environment and close to Seattle. 1940's Kitsap County Court House 1970'a Port Orchard Marina 1908 Ferry Docks Port Orchard Subarea Plan I Port Orchard, WA 1 04.01.2021 15 SECTION 02 1 EXISTING CONDITIONS SECTION 02 1 EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 History SINCLAIR INLET Commernia.l rFilled Tidelands 1 �-Westbay I City k Pox`, arc h& Blvd wvin6 Historic Geographic InflL leelopment Pattern Blaekjac Creek Ravine Copland Bluff i ti t s 1 _ NATURAL FEATURES AND GEOGRAPHY The geography and natural landscape of Port Orchard is defined by its waterfront on Sinclair inlet, the multiple stream ravines, and the steep topography that divides them. Just as these stream valleys bring rains to Sinclair Inlet, the valleys at Port Orchard Boulevard and Bethel Avenue now discharge residents and visitors into the West and East Downtown as they travel from the uphill and inland neighborhoods. The original waterfront shoreline was generally located at the current site of Bay Street prior to the infill of historic waterfront tidelands.

All three areas have a different built -form and character. They areas are divided by the geographic barriers including the change in topography between West Downtown and the County Campus, and the Blackjack Creek Ravine between the County Campus and Bethel Corridor. The West Downtown Neighborhood The West Downtown Neighborhood is the current and historical cultural and civic hub of the community. Its is also the recreational hub with ferry connections to the neighboring cities. The area includes a mix of land uses like the City Hall and public library, the Kitsap Bank and Restaurant and Retail along Bay Street The East Downtown Neighborhood The East Downtown is geographically separated from the West Downtown and was developed later with a more auto - centric development pattern. The neighborhood includes a mix of commercial uses from the junction of Bay Street and Bethel Ave and the waterfront. Further it extends in south to Mitchell Corridor which is higher in density with a mixture of single-family homes surrounding South Kitsap High School.

The completed multi -purpose trail will become a part of the Mosquito Fleet Trail. This portion of the Mosquito Fleet Trail along also known as the Bay Street Pedestrian P significant segment of the off -road Ii e Trail, which eventually will connect Kin t along the eastern shore of ' a Count a much needed recr within Orchard, and a ernative)and rtatio de for' its citizens and w ce.

The trail is also li ce heavy multiple use during special events or d hosted by the City of Port Orchard. BAY/ BETHEL STREET INTERSECTION REDESIGN Roundabouts are safer than traditional traffic signals or stop sign controlled intersections, and they accommodate vehicles of various sizes, including emergency vehicles, buses, semi -trucks with trailers, farm and logging equipment. Studies show roundabouts reduce injury crashes by 75% at intersections where stop signs or traffic signals previously existed. Roundabouts improve the flow of traffic because users don't have to wait for a green light to get through the intersection. Other benefits of a roundabout include vehicles moving in the same direction which helps improve traffic flow. Roundabouts reduce maintenance and repair costs when compared to traffic signals. The South Kitsap Community Events Center (SKCEC) is a collaboration between the City of Port Orchard, and the Kitsap Regional library. Concepts suggested a 24,000-square- foot multi -use facility that includes 9,000 square feet for the new Library. In 2019, the Kitsap Public Funding District allocated up to $12 million in phased funding to support the p roj e ct. Under Rice Fergus Miller's guidance, potential sites will be studied to determine the most optimal location for the community center. Initial concepts placed the new facility in downtown Port Orchard with a project scope that would include shoreline restoration, public open space, and parking solutions. Public input will be sought in the determination of the building uses and design amenities, according to Steve Rice, RFM partner and lead architect.

This Predesign Report analyzes alternative pump station improvements based on current, future, and build -out peak hour flow rates, reliability, expected resiliency, and cost. PARKS PLAN UPDATE The City currently has approximately 70 acres of park area, as well as trails and other open space. However, the Parks Plan has not been substantively updated since 2011. Once updated, the Parks Plan will provide a 20-year vision for the City's parks, recreation, open space, and trails, as well as a 6-year action plan for implementing short- and medium - term steps to succeed in this vision. Steps in development of the Parks Plan update will include research, public involvement, and the creation of recommendations for all aspects of Port Orchard's park system, including a community demand, supply and needs analysis.

The code attempts to foster predictable built results and a high -quality public realm by using physical form (rather than separation of uses) as the organizing principle for the code. Because the code does not include density limits such as maximum floor -area -ratios, we used assumed residential densities included in the City Comprehensive plan amendment to establish assumed residential densities. The primary land use designations within the study area is medium density residential and Mixed -use commercial, however the study area include nearly all land use designation. The study are also includes two large public facilities campuses, the Kitsap County Campus and South Kitsap High School. Most land in the city is devoted to housing. Commercial areas and the downtown offer a range of goods and service provide employment for local residents and those living in surrounding rural areas, and provide additional tax revenue to help fund public services and facilitie ands allow for light manufacturing and wa ing b sses, which also provide job opportunities a pp area's economy. The Land Use element establishes goals and policies that seek to: • Accommodate changes in population and demographics • Encourage development in urban areas, reduce sprawl, and deliver services efficiently • Ensure land use designations reflect need and demand • Minimize traffic congestion and encourage the development of a multimodal transportation system • Protect open spaces and the natural environment • Promote physical activity • Support a range of ent opportunities OVERLAY DIST.RI The city's d ent regulations districts w <,or in parts o city, as sum • DowntoDistrict Tremonistrict rnenter District: ie ection Overlay District de land use overlay Q1uw►mp WIS 6wnty elllpllx Q o°'rnt°w^ Q Lower MMb MR © MdC.wn ck WAa& pcw adion WPk SEDGWACK BETHEL I 0*Mc* SkkM SoUth Belhel Tr�mgnt Upper We HiR DOWNTOWN PORT ORCHARD (COUNTYWIDE CENTER) Port Orchard's downtown is the cultural, civic, and recreational hub of the community.

These minor arterial roads link together state routes or connect the state route system to Port Orchard, to other major centers, and to the ferry system. For example, Bethel Road is a two lane north/south road located in eastern Port Orchard. As a north/south road, Bethel Road connects and intersects with Sedgwick Road, Lund Avenue, and SR 166. Bethel Road terminates in Port Orchard at Bay Street. Bay Street is the East-West connector for downtown waterfront. Cline Ave and Sydney Ave are the primary vehicle connectors for county campus and downtown Port Orchard. PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION AND ACCESS There are an assortment of pedestrian facilities located throughout Port Orchard and its UGA. Pedestrian facilities include sidewalks, trails and designated crosswalks. The majority of sidewalks are located along commercial corridors and in some neighborhoods. However there are somebreaks in the sidewalks, continuous sidewalks would improve the safety and utility of the pedestrian environment.

This does not include existing public right of way which accounts for approximately 85 acres of land within the Study Area. Certain parcels were excluded from this calculation to improve the accuracy of the analysis (see Parcel Exclusions). City of Port Orchard Review. In addition, the City of Port Orchard conducted a detailed review of the study area to inform designation of vacant and redevelopments parcels and to better reflect known parcel level conditions in the City. PARCEL EXCLUSIONS Properties with zero total assessed value were manually reviewed for ownership, land use and were visually inspected. Properties that were significantly improved or public facilities, including city owned beach -front parks, were excluded. All the parcels in the pipeline were also excluded including the current phased expansion of the County Courthouse. The development capacity in the pipeline is re -incorporated in Step 3c. - Examples of Exclusions: • Government Services (Prop Class) • Parks (Prop Class) • Cemeteries • Educational Se • Utilities • Condominiums GROSS BUILDA DS CRITERIA VACANT Using data from the Kitsap County Assessor, this analysis identifies vacant parcels using the assessed values of the improvements. Lots with zero improvement value are then compared against other factors such ownership and property class descriptions to determine vacancy. UNDERUTILIZED Using Kitsap County Assessor data, this analysis calculates an improvement ratio by dividing the assessed improvement value by the total assessed value. This ratio of assessed improvement value to total assessed value is a commonly used indicator for a property's level of improvement. A ratio less than 0.5 indicates the land is worth more than the improvements. This analysis uses an improvement ratio of 0.5 as the threshold. Any parcels with an improvement ratio under this threshold are considered underutilized. SINGLE-FAMILY Any Single -Family use, as defined by assessor property class field, in a high -density base -zone, is deemed to be redevelopable. 2.4.4 Market Yield Assessment FU I JKt I Y SCtNHrtly f.ImALYSIS Using the zoning assumptions and FAR ranges, the analysis leverages variation in development densities to simulate different market conditions impacting the range of capacity across the subarea. The three scenarios, presented to the right, reflect the following: > The impact of surface versus structured parking on capacity -- serving as a reflection of different market conditions (for example, structured parking would require more favorable market conditions). > The concentration of commercial development as a standalone product as well as a share of mixed -used developments. > The overall range of capacity within the subarea The tables on the following page (Exhibit 49-51) provide details on each scenario in terms of assumptions for the proportion of structured versus surface parking and the proportion of commercial uses in mixed -use development. A detailed breakdown of FAR assumptions by zor nd scenario is provided in the appendix. Exhlblt49. FAR Allocation Exhibil50.

In this scenario housing is the predominant highest and best use in mixed use zones. In addition, a large majority of development is assumed to be surfaced park, thus reducing overall densities achieved. • Mostly residential development • Standalone commercial development only in zones prohibiting residential building form. • Some commercial incorporated into mixed use developments. • Majority surface parking meaning lower density development.
