Council of the City of Port Orchard, Washington, was called to order in Special Session at
7:35 P.M. by Acting Mayor Pro-tem Robert Geiger. Meeting location - City Hall, 216 Prospect
Street.
Council members present: Clauson, Wyatt, Morrison, Geiger, Powers, Van Zee and Grable
Staff present: City Engineer Curles, City Planner Gross and City Clerk Parks.
Acting Mayor Pro-tem Geiger reopened the Public Hearing explaining that this meeting is a
continuation of the Public Hearing from February 19, 1997. The purpose of holding a series
of Public Hearing meetings is to review and discuss the draft Zoning Ordinance. Public
input is invited and encouraged. He then requested City Planner Gross facilitate this
session.
City Planner Gross reviewed status of the Draft Zoning Ordinance review. Noting the next
planned date for continuation of this Public Hearing is March 26, 1997. Council agreed that
review of the proposed ordinance will not be completed by the projected March 26 date. They
designated April 9, April 16, and April 30 as additional dates for continuation of the
Public Hearing. Each Public Hearing meeting will start at 7:30 P.M.
City Planner Gross addressed "Marina" uses as reflected in the "Recreational/cultural land
uses" table (page 146-B), which had been delayed until Councilman Morrison's return.
Councilman Morrison stated the City currently has two boat repair enterprises with three
more potential boat repair businesses in the proposed Ross Point Annexation area. The draft
zoning ordinance does not reflect current uses. If the ordinance is adopted as written,
existing marina -boat repair businesses would become non -conforming uses. The new code
should reflect existing uses.
Discussion on "Marina" use designation resulted in the following revisions to the draft
Zoning Ordinance:
Part Cl: Zones, maps, and designations
1. Section 9: Aircraft, ship, and boat building (Page 123) is revised to read:
Section 9: Aircraft, ship, and boat building'{epT:

uses located in SIC industry group numbers:
1) 372-Aircraft and parts, and
2) 373-Ship and boat building and repair. This includes av^ hauls, engine
pulling, and bettelff painting.

5. General Services land uses table (Page 146-D)

Marina -Boat repair Permitted use in Commercial (retail and office),

Upon consensus that the review of the "Recreational/cultural land uses" table with
applicable definitions, conditions and uses was complete, those present focused attention
on the "Residential land uses" table on page 146-C.
"Single family detached" and "Single family attached" uses were examined with no changes.
It was clarified that single family attached structures cannot be stacked (e.g., a two-story
duplex structure, with one unit above the other unit).
After considerable discussion and debate on zones where a "Multifamily" use could be an
appropriate conditional or permitted use, Council members agreed to add it as a permitted
use in a Residential-12 zone.
Discussion relating to "Mobile home park" use resulted in many questions being raised on
where mobile home park uses would be allowed, how many mobile homes in a single location
constituted a mobile home park, where would individual mobile homes be permitted, and would
the City limit location of single wide mobile homes.
Council members expressed need to provide for mobile homes within the new zoning ordinance.
The City Planner will check with Kitsap County to review their mobile home regulations and
restrictions on single or double wide units. She will also review definition of single
family dwelling relating to mobile homes as written in the City's draft zoning ordinance..
