002-16 - Ordinance - Land Use and Zoning, to Change Maximum Residential Density in Mixed Use Zone, Amend Sec 16.40.025ORDINANCE NO.002-16
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT
ORCHARD, WASHINGTON, RELATING TO LAND USE AND
ZONING, TO CHANGE THE MAXIMUM RESIDENTIAL DENSITY
PERMITTED IN THE CITY'S MIXED USE ZONE; AMENDING PORT
ORCHARD MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 16.40.025
WHEREAS, in August 2014 Department of Community Development found that
the Mixed Use (Mxd) zone limits residential density to 12 dwelling units per acre; and
WHEREAS, this limit is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan's goals and
policies related to fostering a lively and vibrant downtown neighborhood, which is the
largest area in the City of Port Orchard with a Mixed Use zone; and
WHEREAS, existing land use regulations, particularly the Downtown Overlay
District, sufficiently control the scale and character of development in downtown,
including but not excluding building height, street and yard setbacks, and site coverage;
and
WHEREAS, the number of dwelling units within a structure is also limited by the
requirement, set forth in POMC Section 16.20.208, that newly constructed dwelling
units in the Downtown Overlay District must be a minimum size of 600 square feet; and
WHEREAS, minimum street and yard setbacks and lot coverage are inconsistent
with the existing character of the downtown neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, the enactment of this ordinance is unlikely to significantly affect the
character of the downtown neighborhood in the short term but may improve it in the
long term; and
WHEREAS, a draft of this Ordinance was presented to the Planning Commission
for review and a public hearing on February 23, 2015; and
WHEREAS, on February 23, 2015, the Planning Commission issued a
recommendation to approve the amendment to the mixed use zone increasing the
density within the zone; and
WHEREAS, a SEPA DNS was issued on the proposed amendment on December
25, 2015; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Commerce was provided notice of the proposed
change on December 17, 2015 along with a request for expedited review; and
Ordinance No. 002-16
