Council of the City of Port Orchard, Washington, called to order for in Special Session by
Mayor Protem Powers at 7:30 PM at City Hall, 216 Prospect Street.
Council members present: Clauson, Wyatt, Geiger, Powers and Grable.
Staff present: City Planner Gross and City Clerk Parks.
Mayor Pro-tem Powers stated the purpose of this Special Session is to continue the Public
Hearing relevant to the Draft Zoning Code Ordinance. (Continuation of Public hearing from
February 3, 1997.) Ms. Powers explained that while this is a continuation of the Public
Hearing, the purpose is for review and discussion of the draft code. Public input is invited
and encouraged. She then requested City Planner Donna Gross facilitate the review process.
City Planner Gross addressed the four questions which were asked at the February 3, 1997
session of this Public Hearing:
1. How are such uses as Port Orchard Nursery allowed in the proposed code?
Ms. Gross referred to land use tables and traced definitions to illustrate how
nursery/garden centers are permitted in commercial zones. Small roadside stands are
allowed in residential zones with a conditional use permit.
2. Where would farming be allowed?
Ms. Gross again referred to the land use tables while discussing the various zones
which allow farming as a permitted or conditional use.
3. How difficult will it be to amend this code?
This code can be amended at any time by a Public Hearing process, with notice of
proposed changes summarized.
4. Who reviews Conditional Uses?
Map adjustments and conditional uses will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and
City Council, similar to our current process for land use amendments.
City Planner Gross reminded those present that future dates designated for continuation of
this Public Hearing process are March 12 and March 26. Additional meeting dates will be
scheduled if necessary to complete review of the draft code.

Facilities" where a park is a permitted use.
