Work Study Session Executive Summary
Issue Title: Annapolis Creek Culvert Replacement Project
Meeting Date: November 20, 2018
Time Required: 30 Minutes
Attendees: Mark R. Dorsey, P.E, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Kenneth D. Andersen, P.E., Reid Middleton, Inc.
Action Requested At This Meeting: Presentation of the Annapolis Creek Culvert
Replacement Project, followed by discussion and direction to the Mayor for completion of
30% Design & Permit Coordination in 2018, including the interest of Council to pursue a
flood management project with the County.
Background/Issue: In 2017, the City initiated the Annapolis Creek Culvert Replacement Project with
the award of the 30% Design and Permit Coordination, whereby the principal design elements would
be address, along with the determination of associated costs for the pursuit of future funding
opportunities. The principal design elements include, 1) the structural and hydraulic design of the
replacement culvert, 2) the design interface with the Bay Street Pedestrian Pathway Project, 3) the
inclusion of utility upgrades and repairs within the Culvert area, and 4) the coordination of future
permits needed from local and state agencies to construct the replacement culvert. The design
elements listed above include efforts from civil and structural engineers, surveyors, cultural and
environmental scientists, and geoltechnical engineers. Along with the principal design elements
listed, the upstream conditions of Annapolis Creek were also determined (extent of contributing
watershed and hydraulic modeling) to determine existing ang future culvert hydraulic conditions and
to better understand the upstream flooding influences.
Alternatives: The consultant team and staff met in September of 2018 to discuss the project’s
overall status and to review the results of the hydraulic model, which made it clear that the culvert
replacement project will not address upstream flooding issues.
Recommendation: Staff recommends discussing the issue, and then provide direction to the Mayor.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: Chapter 4 - Parks
Attachments: Reid Middeton provided handouts

City of Port Orchard
Work Study Session Executive Summary
Issue Title: Amendment to POMC Chapter 3.48, Multifamily Property Tax Exemption
Meeting Date: November 20, 2018
Time Required: 15 Minutes
Attendees: Nick Bond, Community Development Director
Background/Issue: On July 26, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance 023-16, which established the
City’s multifamily property tax exemption program, Chapter 3.48 POMC. The areas currently designated
for tax exemption are shown on Figure 1. At the November 13, 2018 City Council meeting, during the
Land Use Committee report, staff informed the City Council of a citizen request for expansion of the
multifamily property tax exemption area, to include three undeveloped parcels on the south side of SE
Sedgwick Rd, adjacent to the east side of Fred Meyer (Figure 2). This site is proposed for a 113-unit
apartment development. During this report, the Council was made aware that market rate rents for
apartments in Port Orchard were very close to meeting the definition of affordable housing and that other
nearby cities have designated all local centers for multifamily property tax exemption. After discussion,
the Council requested that a draft ordinance amending the City’s tax exemption map be brought forward
for consideration at the November work-study meeting.
Based on the November 13 discussion, staff decided to bring forward two alternatives. The first
alternative was as requested by Council. The second alternative was prepared out of concern that if the
map was amended to add the Sedgwick properties to the tax exemption area, the builder would likely
qualify for both the 8- or 12-year exemption, regardless of whether any of the units were made available
below market rates.
As such, two draft ordinances are being presented for discussion: one with an expanded tax exemption
map including the Sedgwick parcels, without any changes to the 12-year tax exemption designation
(Figure 4); and one showing both the Sedgwick expansion and limiting the 12-year tax exemption to the
downtown area (Figure 5). For the second alternative, corresponding changes were also made to the text
of Section 3.48.040, as shown in the draft ordinance. The reason to retain the 12-year abatement in the
downtown area under the second alternative two was to ensure that the additional costs of providing
below-grade parking and building on fill could be offset, since downtown rents are likely to be higher than
in other areas of the city if redevelopment occurs, and if affordable housing is provided, it should be in
proximity to transit and local services.
Additionally, Council requested that staff provide a breakdown of the annual property tax for the three
Sedgwick parcels, showing how the pre- and post-development tax assessed against these properties
would be distributed among the local taxing districts:
Action Requested at this Meeting: Provide feedback and direction to staff on the proposed alternative
ordinances for revisions to Chapter 3.48 POMC.

Alternatives: Staff has prepared two alternative draft ordinances. Council is not obligated to take any
action at this time. In addition to these options, Council may want to continue studying these issues as
they relate to expanding the tax abatement map, and setting more stringent thresholds for the
affordable housing component in order to qualify for a tax exemption.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: The City’s multifamily tax exemption program supports a number
of Comprehensive Plan goals and policies, including:
Policy LU-1 Provide a variety of housing types and employment opportunities that meet the
needs of diverse socioeconomic interests.
Policy LU-17 Incentivize infill development to preserve and protect open space, critical areas and
natural resources.
Policy LU-28 In conjunction with the proposed Centers strategy, enhance downtown Port
Orchard’s role as the center of the South Kitsap region, reflecting the following
principles in development standards and land use plans:
• Encourage land uses that support transit centers and promote pedestrian
activity.
Page 68 of 132
Executive Summary
Page 3 of 7
• Promote a mix of uses, including retail, office, and housing.
• Encourage uses that will provide both daytime and evening activities.
• Support civic, cultural, and entertainment activities.
• Provide sufficient public open space and recreational opportunities.
• Enhance, and provide access to, the waterfront.
• Develop enhanced design guidelines and design review requirements that
promote attractive, pedestrian-scale development and redevelopment within
the City’s historic downtown area.
Policy HS-4 Adopt zoning and development regulations that will have the effect of minimizing housing
costs and maximizing housing options.
Policy HS-7 Consider the creation of zoning and other land use incentives for the private construction
of affordable and special needs housing as a percentage of units in multi-family
development.
Policy HS-8 Consider adopting incentives for development of affordable multi-family homes through
property tax abatement in accordance with 84.14 RCW, focusing on designated mixed-
use local centers with identified needs for residential infill and redevelopment.
Policy HS-14 Implement zoning and development regulations which encourage infill housing on
empty and redevelopable parcels.
Policy HS-1 Consider programs to preserve or rehabilitate neighborhoods and areas that are showing
signs of deterioration due to lack of maintenance or abandonment.
Recommendations: Staff recommends that Council discuss the alternatives and provide direction
concerning next steps.

3.48.040 TERMS OF THE TAX EXEMPTION.
(1) Duration of Exemption. The value of new housing construction, conversion, and rehabilitation
improvements qualifying under this chapter is exempt from ad valorem property taxation, as follows:
(a) For eight (8) successive years beginning January 1st of the year immediately following the
calendar year of issuance of the certificate; or
(b) For twelve (12) successive years beginning January 1st of the year immediately following the
calendar year of issuance of the certificate, if the property otherwise qualifies for the exemption under
this chapter and meets the conditions in this subsection (1)(b). For the property to qualify for the twelve
(12) year exemption under this subsection, the applicant must commit to renting or selling at least twenty
(20) percent of the multifamily housing units as affordable housing units to low- and moderate-income
households, and the property must satisfy that commitment and any additional affordability and income
eligibility conditions adopted by the City under this chapter. In the case of projects intended exclusively
for owner occupancy, the minimum requirement of this subsection may be satisfied solely through
housing affordable to moderate-income households.
(i) If calculations for the minimum twenty (20) percent of the multifamily housing units
required under this subsection result in a fraction, then the minimum number of multifamily
housing units for affordable housing shall be rounded up to the next whole number.
(ii) In projects granted 12-year exemptions, housing units identified for households with
low, affordable, or moderate annual income shall continue to be made available to low,
affordable, or moderate households for the length of the exemption period.
(iii) The mix and configuration of housing units (e.g., studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom)
used to meet the requirement for affordable units under this subsection shall be substantially
proportional to the mix and configuration of the total housing units in the project.
(iv) When a project includes more than one building with multifamily housing units, all of
the affordable housing units required in this subsection must not be located in the same building.
(2) Limits on Exemption. The exemption does not apply:
(a) To the value of land or to the value of non-housing-related improvements not qualifying
under this chapter.
(b) In the case of rehabilitation of existing buildings, to the value of improvements constructed
prior to submission of the completed application required under this chapter.
(c) To increases in assessed valuation made by the Kitsap County Assessor on non-qualifying
portions of building or other improvements and value of land nor to increases made by lawful order of a
County board of equalization, the Department of Revenue, or Kitsap County, to a class of property
throughout the County or specific area of the County to achieve the uniformity of assessment or appraisal
required by law.
Page 80 of 132
7 of 12
(3) Conclusion of Exemption. At the conclusion of the exemption period, the new or rehabilitated
housing cost shall be considered as new construction for the purposes of Chapter 84.55 RCW.
3.48.050 PROJECT ELIGIBILITY.

a property tax exemption:
(1) Location. The project must be located within a residential targeted area as defined in POMC 3.48.030.
(2) Tenant Displacement Prohibited. The project must not displace existing residential tenants of
structures that are proposed for redevelopment. If the property proposed to be rehabilitated is not
vacant, an applicant shall provide each existing tenant housing of comparable size, quality, and price and
a reasonable opportunity to relocate.
(3) Noncompliance with Building Codes. Existing dwelling units proposed for rehabilitation must fail to
comply with one or more standards of the applicable state or City building codes.
(4) Size of Project. The new, converted, or rehabilitated multiple-unit housing must provide for a
minimum of fifty (50) percent of the space for permanent residential occupancy. The project, whether
new, converted, or rehabilitated multiple-unit housing, must include at least ten (10) units of multifamily
housing within a residential structure or as part of an urban development. In the case of existing
multifamily housing that is occupied or which has not been vacant for twelve (12) months or more, the
multifamily housing project must also provide for a minimum of four (4) additional multifamily units for a
total project of at least ten (10) units including the four (4) additional units. Existing multifamily housing
that has been vacant for twelve (12) months or more does not have to provide additional units.
(5) Proposed Completion Date. New construction of multifamily housing and rehabilitation
improvements must be completed within three (3) years from the date of approval of the application.
(6) Compliance with Guidelines and Standards. The project must be designed to comply with the City’s
comprehensive plan, building, housing, and zoning codes, and any other applicable regulations. The
project must also comply with any other standards and guidelines adopted by the City Council for the
residential targeted area.

low, affordable, or moderate annual income shall continue to be made available to low,
affordable, or moderate households for the length of the exemption period.

prior to submission of the completed application required under this chapter.

portions of building or other improvements and value of land nor to increases made by lawful order of a
Page 93 of 132

throughout the County or specific area of the County to achieve the uniformity of assessment or appraisal

Work Study Session Executive Summary
Issue Title: Disbursement of Funds Resolution and Policies
Meeting Date: November 20, 2018
Time Required: 15 minutes
Attendees: None
Action Requested At This Meeting: Provide any comments on the policies.
Background: The City desires to pay its claims and obligations in a timely manner to meet
the city’s business needs. The current process for approving claims and releasing payments
to obligated parties is structured around the timing of council meetings. The timing of
council meetings does not necessarily meet the business practices of the city or the vendors
that work for the city.
City staff have worked to create a Policy for the Disbursement of Funds prior to council
approval including proper expenditure controls. The purpose of the policy is to delegate
authority to the finance department to release payments to obligated parties as a function
of city business. This requires maintaining proper internal controls in accordance with the
State Auditors requirements as well as controls to meet council approval.
The policy will allow the executive branch of the city to operate and pay claims on a business
need irrespective of the timing of council meetings. It maintains the requirement for council
approval on all claims approved for payment.
Alternatives: N/A
Recommendation: The Finance Department recommends approving the resolution
establishing the Disbursement of Funds Policy.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: N/A
Attachments: Will be provided at meeting.

Work Study Session Executive Summary
Issue Title: POMC 10.12 Proposed Changes and Updates
Meeting Date: November 20, 2018
Time Required: 15 Minutes
Attendees: Mark R. Dorsey, P.E, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Action Requested At This Meeting: Discussion and direction to staff regarding proposed
revisions to POMC 10.12.
Background/Issue: At the November 5, 2018 Land Use Committee Meeting, three parking
related issues were discussed as follows; 1) the south side of Bay Street, east of Dekalb
Street, 2) Etta Turner Park and 3) Tracy Avenue. Item No. 1 is complaint-based and involves
inadequate sight distance given current on-street parking allowances. Item No. 2 involves
an area within the Water Street Waterway whereby no formal parking has been established
by code for Etta Turner Park, but parking in that area has become a healthy and safety issue
and is further complicated by a recripical use condition recorded in 2013. Item No. 3 was
initiated as a request for No Parking at a specific location along Tracy Avenue, but the Public
Works Department has looked at the Tracy Avenue pakring issue wholistically. An additional
item, parking along the north side of Horstman, has been added as well.
Alternatives: As directed by Council.
Recommendation: Staff recommends discussing the issue, and then be given direction to
proceed.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: None
Attachments: Dekalb/Bay Street Sight Distance Diagram
