BUSINESS ITEMS: PRESENTATION: 2024 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update Existing Conditions Report Senior Planner Fisk introduced Alex Campbell of AHBL inc. who gave a summary of the Existing Conditions Report and ongoing public outreach efforts for the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update. Mr. Campbell highlighted the public outreach component of the Plan, primarily regarding online engagement. Mr. Campbell identified that the Comprehensive Plan Open House in January, did not yield the desired amount of public participation. As a result, AHBL reexamined the program to increase public involvement. Mr. Campbell described the Social Pinpoint platform, digital media campaigns, and a booth at the downtown farmer's market and their role in boosting public participation, as well as a brief overview of the more common public concerns and responses. Chair Ashby commented that the Planning Department's booth at the downtown farmer's market produced a positive response from the public more so than previous methods. Commissioner Fontenot commented reflecting Chair Ashby's comment. Commissioner Morrison asked Mr. Campbell if the responses received at the farmer's market were reflected in the online survey questions. Mr. Campbell responded that those members of the public at the farmer's market were encouraged to fill out the online survey and the online survey should thus reflect those comments. Commissioner Morrison also inquired as to the specifics of the online survey and how Port Orchard's public comments reflected those of other jurisdictions. Mr. Campbell responded that Port Orchard's survey produced similar results. Commissioner Morrison also identified a clerical error he saw in the Comprehensive Plan Report that required correction. Commissioner Fontenot commented on the public responses to the transit -oriented section of the survey and the need to interpret the results in a holistic sense in developing a transit development strategy for the Comprehensive Plan Update. Chair Ashby asked if the survey responses included information regarding the residence of the public commenter. Mr. Campbell responded that such a question was not included for concern of precluding potential public feedback. PRESENTATION: Stormwater Comprehensive Plan Senior Planner Fisk introduced Utility Manager Jacki Brown to give an update on the Stormwater Comprehensive Plan for review by the Planning Commission. Ms. Brown gave a brief overview of the City's long-term goals for stormwater management and offered to entertain any questions or comments. Commissioner Fontenot asked whether the City's plan included regulatory aspects regarding privately owned land or only presented general goals. Ms. Brown responded that the Plan was intended as a preventative measure to some of the issues that might occur on private lands and gave an example to that effect. Director Bond added information regarding maintenance of stormwater management infrastructure on private lands. Chair Ashby commented on the financial increases to pay for the stormwater management infrastructure and gave her opinion that the monthly rates per -resident were high. Ms. Brown responded by identifying the different levels of funding presented in the plan. Director Bond commented on the need to incorporate the Stormwater Comprehensive Plan into the 2024 Comprehensive Plan and asked Ms. Brown if that was what the department was hoping to accomplish that night. Ms. Brown responded that she did not think that was necessary to meet the requirements of the permit. Commissioner Fontenot asked Director Bond if the Planning Commission would be able to review the plan again. Director bond responded that it will likely be seen in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Page 2 of 4 PUBLIC HEARING: 2023 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Senior Planner Fisk gave a brief overview of amendments that were made to the 2023 Comprehensive Plan since the August 2023 meeting, given comments from the public outreach program and future property acquisition for City facilities. The Department asked the Planning Commission to provide a recommendation of approval to the City Council. Chair Ashby opened the hearing to comments from the public. No member of the public was present either online or in the council chamber. Chair Ashby closed the public hearing. Chair Ashby asked Director Bond to give a brief overview of the capital facilities addition to the 2023 Comprehensive Plan. Director Bond explained the line item was included to address the City's need for more office and parking space and present the budget increase to the City Council. Commissioner Morrison made a motion to approve the amendments to the 2023 Comprehensive Plan as presented. Commissioner McKlosky seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING: Temporary Signage in Right-of-way Director Bond explained the Department's study of the temporary sign issue in Port Orchard and the options available to deal with the issue. Recommendations included a policy that loosely aligned with Gig Harbor's current policy establishing certain corridors along which temporary signs would be permitted as well as areas along the public right-of-way near intersections and pedestrian pathways where the signs would be restricted. The Department requested that the Planning Commission hold a public hearing and recommend approval of an ordinance to the City Council. Chair Ashby opened the public hearing regarding the Temporary Signage Ordinance. No member of the public was present either online or in the council chamber. Chair Ashby closed the public hearing. Commissioner Stewart requested clarification of contrasts between the Temporary Sign Ordinance of Gig Harbor and that proposed by the Department regarding the requirement of permits. Director Bond identified the issue of permitting for political signs as a permit may also require a fee and may present an issue of free speech. The Director conveyed a concern of differentiating between commercial and political signs and expressed that such differentiation might not be necessary now and that simple regulation of temporary sign placement would suffice. Commissioner Morrison offered his thanks to the planning department for their efforts on this ordinance. Commissioner Fontenot identified the section of the ordinance that required removal of dilapidated signs to be a positive addition. He also inquired if the ordinance included a provision that a sign be removed if its contents are out of date. Director Bond replied that there was not any such provision and that it likely wouldn't be necessary as those who've placed these signs have typically removed Page 3 of 4 them when the contents of the sign have expired. Chair Ashby also requested clarification on the absence of the provision. Chair Ashby complimented the Department on their work, identifying that all the temporary sign concerns offered by the planning commission were addressed in the ordinance. Commissioner McKlosky made a motion to approve POMC 20.32 as presented. Commissioner Stewart seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION: Director's Report Director Bond reported that a development agreement application was received related to a development activity permit which would preserve a significant tree on Mitchell Ave. that was of public concern. Chair Ashby inquired about the status of the vacant Assistant planner position. Director Bond reported that the department was in the final review and hiring process for potential candidates. ADJOURN: Chair Ashby adjourned the meeting at 7:02 pm.

BUSINESS ITEMS: A. PRESENTATION: 2023 CODE AMENDMENT DOCKET. Senior Planner Fisk introduced to the Commission the proposed amendments in accordance with Port Orchard Municipal Code (POMC) 20.06 involving a structured approach to organize and prioritize amendments submitted to the Department of Community Development prior to September 30. This presentation was an introduction to the Commission and no action was required. Chair Ashby requested clarification of items 11 and 12 of the suggested code revisions. Senior Planner Fisk responded with clarification of their intent. Chair Ashby then offered the floor to other commissioners for comment. Commissioner Morrison asked for clarification of item 3 of the suggested code revisions. Senior Planner Fisk responded that item was related to clarification of a change in zoning designations that were no longer present. Chair Ashby asked if the Commission would be seeing the proposed code revisions again and Senior Planner responded that they would. B. PRESENTATION: MCCORMICK VILLAGE OVERLAY DISTRICT FOURPLEX BUILDING TYPE Senior Planner introduced the commission a proposed amendment to POMC 20.38.225 and 20.38.230 to create a fourplex building type and its associated standards and asked for comments from the commission. Commissioner Bailey asked what a fourplex building might look like. Senior Planner Fisk responded that they would resemble stacked duplexes and described where the pedestrian access might be located. Chair Ashby asked if the building types within the McCormick Village Overlay District were intended to be rental units. Senior Planner Fisk responded that the MVOD was intended to be composed primarily of mixed -use rental housing. Chair Ashby compared the fourplex building type presented in the proposed amendment to her own home and asked if the window trim requirement stated in the code would leave any room for suggested changes from the developer. Senior Planner Fisk responded that no exceptions to the design standards present in the code would be made. Commissioner Morrison commented that the addition of the fourplex building type is important to ensure that the City has a more even housing mix and expressed his discomfort with the idea of loosening design standards. Chair Ashby moved to schedule the public hearing for the proposed code amendments in January. C. DISCUSSION: DIRECTOR'S REPORT Director Bond discussed the scheduled comprehensive plan workshop in February, March, and May. Chair Ashby asked for specific dates for the workshops. Director Bond responded that the workshops would take place during the scheduled planning commission meetings. Director Bond discussed the need to change the January planning commission date as January 2 wouldn't provide the department with time to sufficiently prepare and it might be inconvenient for Commissioners considering the holidays. Chair Ashby suggested the dates of January 17, or January 18. Commissioner Morrison said that January 17 would be more convenient for him. The other Commissioners and the Department agreed on the date of January 17, 2024, for the next meeting. Commissioner Bailey asked the status of the Stormwater Comprehensive Plan to which Director Bond responded with the status. Commissioner Bailey then asked for an updated version of it to be emailed to her. Chair Ashby added that the Stormwater Comprehensive Plan that the Commission saw in October wasn't the final draft of the plan. Director Bond clarified that the Plan presented in October only discussed the rate increases to public utilities to pay for the Plan changes. Director Bond went over the list of accomplishments of the Planning Commission throughout 2023. Page 2 of 3 Director Bond also informed the Planning Commission that a new planner would be joining the department starting on December 13. Commissioner Morrison wished everyone a happy holiday season and then thanked the Department for their hard work. ADJOURN: Chair Ashby adjourned the meeting at 6:38 pm.

To implement the Subarea Plan, the City adopted an overlay district with code provisions which promote the development of a compact urban neighborhood with a variety of housing types in a mix of buildings while accommodating a range of land uses within the McCormick Woods Urban Village. The subsequent McCormick Village Overlay District, POMC 20.38.200-280, was designed to promote a compact, walkable, mixed -use environment with a variety of housing types including forecourt apartments, duplexes, and paseo homes. As an oversight to middle housing needs, the fourplex building type was not included in the adopted MVOD standards. Staff proposes the creation of this building type to allow additional flexibility in housing product in the subarea's neighborhood core. The inclusion of this housing type is consistent with the intent of the McCormick Urban Village Subarea Plan and the recommendations provided in the June 2023 Housing Action Plan. Absent from the original overlay district regulations was a requirement for residential structure design standards for those not subject to POMC 20.127 and required architectural variety. The following amendments make these additions as well an allowance for fourplex structures and the required specifications and design details. The amendments are summarized as follows: • Building Design, 20.38.285: An overview of design details intended for buildings to clarify the standards residential structures are subject. • Architectural Variety, 20.38.290: Requirements to ensure sufficient differentiation of structure design and clarification that residential buildings other than detached houses may account for variety. • Building Types, Fourplex: An addition of the fourplex building type into the regulations and the definitions and building specifications thereof. Through approval of the 2023 Code Amendment Docket at the November 14, 2023 City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to proceed with drafting a code amendment to the McCormick Village Overlay District development regulations. The draft regulations were introduced to the Planning Commission meeting at the December 2023 Planning Commission meeting. On December 6, 2023 the SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance and transmitted the draft regulations to the Washington Department of Commerce requesting expedited 15- day review. Public notice for the January 17, 2024, public hearing was provided consistent with the requirements of POMC 20.25 on December 26, 2023. As of the date of publication of this Staff Report the Department of Community Development has not received any comments on the proposed amendment. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments to POMC Sections 20.38.225, 20.38.230, 20.38.240, and 20.38.270, and the addition of Sections 20.38.285 and 20.38.290. Suggested Motion: "I move to recommend that the City Council approve an ordinance amending Port Orchard Municipal Code Sections 20.38.225, 20.38.230, 20.38.240, and 20.38.270, and the addition of Sections 20.38.285 and 20.38.290, as presented.
