1745 - Resolution - Denying Issuance of Special Use PermitRESOLUTION NO. 1745
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON DENYING
THE ISSUANCE OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ROGER AND SHIRLEY
JOHNSON FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1730 POTTERY AVENUE FOR A
SPECIFIC USE OF A PARCEL OF PROPERTY WHICH IS NOT IN HARMONY
WITH THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS OR OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN AND IS DETRIMENTAL TO EXISTING USES PERMITTED IN THAT
PARTICULAR ZONE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
THAT: Whereas the City Planning Commission held the required public
hearing in accordance with the criteria set forth in Chapter 6 (Special Use Permits)
of Ordinance No. 1469, Zoning Ordinance of the City of Port Orchard, and
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission has recommended approval of the
application by Roger and Shirley Johnson for property located at 1730 Pottery
Avenue, and has recorded with the City Clerk their decision setting forth their
findings and recommendations, and
WHEREAS, the Port Orchard City Council held a public hearing on July 8,
1996 to consider Roger and Shirley Johnson's Special Use Permit Application, and
WHEREAS, the Port Orchard City Council did consider testimony and
evidence relevant to the Special Use Permit Application.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Port Orchard does
hereby deny the issuance of a Special Use Permit to Roger and Shirley Johnson for
property located at 1730 Pottery Avenue based upon the following findings of fact
and conclusions:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
I. That the use applied for is a proper one for which a Special Use
Permit may be authorized by the Zoning Code,
2. That because the proposed conversion of a single family residence
into a full service hair salon is located in an existing single
family residential neighborhood, it is neither desirable nor
necessary for the development of the community.
3. That the loss of an existing single family residence for
conversion into a business is inconsistent with the Comprehensive
Plan's goals and policies which seek to ensure an adequate amount
and variety of affordable housing are available.
Resolution No. 1745
Page Two of Two
4. That the proposed use is inconsistent with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan map which identifies the long-term use of the
site for high density residential development, not commercial
use.
5. That due to the highly transitory nature of the proposed use,
traffic impacts would be both detrimental and deleterious to
existing uses and to uses specifically permitted in the
underlying land use district.
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings of facts, testimony and materials presented
at the public hearing, the Port Orchard City Council conclude
that:
(1) A special use permit to allow a full service hair styling
salon located at 1730 Pottery Avenue would not be in harmony with
the general purpose of the city zoning ordinance nor
comprehensive plan designations.
(2) The proposed use of the subject property is not compatible
with the surrounding residential neighborhood.
(3) The proposed use of the subject property is not in
furtherance to the health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the community.
