2.7 The Centers Strategy
2.7. ntroduct on
The post-war 1920s have become synonymous with the beginning of a development pattern known as
urban sprawl. Sprawl expands development over large amounts of land, resulting in long distances between
homes, jobs, and stores. lt also significantly increases dependence on the automobile and traffic on
neighborhood streets and highways, as driving is required for nearly every activity. This development
pattern also draws economic resources away from existing communities and spreads them thinly and
inefficiently, far away from a community's historic core, This increases spending on new roads, new water
and sewer lines, and police and fire protection. This ultimately leads to the degradation of the older city,
higher taxes, and fewer available resources for already existing communities. ln the early 1990s,
Washington sou8ht to combat this adverse development style by adopting the GMA. Among other
ambitions, the GMA suggested a new development pattern broadly known as Centers.
ln 2014, the City designated ten "local centers" in its Comprehensive Plan, in accordance with the criteria
provided in the Puget Sound Regional Council's (PSRC) VISION 2040, which is a regional strategy for
accommodating the expected 2040 population of the Puget Sound region. ln subsequent years, VISION
2040's criteria and terminology for centers have been revised, and the City has revised its center
terminology and boundaries for consistency. Based on the new criteria, the City now has eight designated
"countywide centers" and four designated "local centers". ln addition, the City identifies two countywide
centers as a Candidate Regional Center.

Traditional neighborhoods often had smaller business districts that served surrounding residential areas,
These districts typically had retail shops, markets, and services that were a short walk from the homes in
the area. Additionally, these districts created a unique identity that solidified the neighborhood. With the
increased cost of fuel and the economic recession, residents of Port Orchard have expressed a preference
for the development of smaller, local retailers
and service providers in places that knit people
and commerce together on a local level.
Centers are focused areas of development that
have key uses which enable the City to deliver
services more cost-efficiently and equitably
pursue a development pattern that is
environmentally and economically sound, and
provide a means of influencing growth and
change through collaboration with the
community in planning for the future of these
areas. This strategy helps to accommodate
growth in designated areas while preserving
the existing character of the community,
thereby retaining more open space and the
dominant pattern of existing development.
Centers accomplish these objectives by:
. Concentrating a thoughtful mix of supporting uses.
. Allowing more intense development while maintaining appropriate scale.
. Offering a wider variety of housing types that meets the needs of the broader community.
o Minimizing the dependence on vehicle trips.
The Centers strategy is a comprehensive and long-term approach to planning for a sustainable future that
helps preserve those aspects of the community that residents' value. This approach is intended to maximize
the benefit of public investment in infrastructure and services and promote collaboration with private
interests and the community to achieve mutual benefits.
Providing opportunities for residents, jobs, stores, services, and open spaces to be located in close
proximity can reduce the reliance on cars for shopping and commuting and offer better access to daily
wants and needs. lncreasing residential and employment densities in key locations makes transit and other
public services convenient for more people and therefore makes these services more efficient.
The criteria for the designation Centers are found in the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) Regional
Centers Framework Adopted March 22,2018 and in Vision 2040, which is a regional strategy for
accommodating the expected 2040 population of the Puget Sound region. According to VISION 2040, local
centers serve important roles as sub-regional hubs and secondary concentrations of development. They
provide a dense mix of housing and services, such as stores, medical offices, and libraries. They serve as
2

focal points where people come together for a variety of activities, including business, shopping, living, and
recreation. They often have a civic character with community facilities, such as municipal buildings and
other public places. Local centers should be served by regular local transit and regional express transit
service and should have a complete network of sidewalks and access to bicycle paths and transit facilities.
The Regional Centers Framework defines five different types of Centers:
1. Regional Growth Centers
2. Manufacturing lndustrial Centers
3. Countywide Centers
4. Loca! Centers
5. Military lnstallations
Several of the identified center types include subtypes.

2.7.3 Desisnated C (Ex st ne and P anned)
The following centers have been designated in the City's comprehensive plan by center type:
5
Regiona! Centers. The City has no designated regional centers at this time, but the Downtown Port
Orchard and Kitsap County Campus Countywide Centers should be considered as a future candidate
that could be combined as a Regional Urban Growth Center.
Manufacturing lndustrial Centers. The City has no designated Manufacturing lndustrial Centers
currently. The City's only industrial park is too small to be considered either a Manufacturing lndustrial
Center or a Countywide Center. Port Orchard is served by the nearby Puget Sound lndustrial Center -
Bremerton.
Countywide Centers. The City has 8 designated Countywide Centers. Not all ofthese Countywide
Centers meet the minimum activity units per acre threshold per the PSRC Regional Centers Criteria for
Countywide Centers (8 activity units per acre). The City intends that these Countywide Centers which
don't presently meet the activity unit threshold set by PSRC will meet that threshold in the future.
These centers maytemporarily be recognized as candidate countywide centers or local centers until
the activity unit threshold is met. The City's designated Countywide Centers are as follows:
1. Downtown Port Orchard
2. Tremont Center
3. County Campus
4. Lower Mile Hill
5. Upper Mile Hill
6. Sedgwick Bethel
7. Bethel Lund
8. Sedgwick Sidney (Ruby Creek Neighborhood)
Local Centers. The City has designated the following local centers:
1. Annapolis
2. Old Clifton !ndustrial Park
3. McCormick Woods
4. Bethel South Center (Salmonberry)
Military lnstallations. The City has no military installations within the City Limits.

Centers
The following are a list of general goals and suggested policies that Centers should seek to fulfill. Although
Centers have common elements, it should be acknowledged that each Center is unique and have/will have
a different set of priorities. Centers goals should be tailored to the specific Center in question. Generally,
Centers should seek to:
Policy CN-1
Policy CN-2
Prioritize the City's residential, commercial and light industria! growth and infrastructure
investments within designated Centers, in accordance with VISION 2O4O and the
Countywide Planning Policies.
Focus future growth in designated, higher intensity areas in an effort to encourage the
preservation of open space and maintain surroundlng neighborhood character.
Policy CN-3 Shorten commutes by concentrating housing and employment in strategic locations, which
provides residents opportunities to live and work in the same neighborhood.
Policy CN-4 Provide commercial services that serve the population of the Center, surrounding
neighborhoods, the city, and the region (dependent on the suitability of the scale of each
Center).
Policy CN-5 Support pedestrian and transit uses by promoting compact, mixed-use areas with
appropriate infrastructure that provide a variety of activities.

Port Orchard's downtown is the cultural, civic, and recreational hub of the community. The downtown
currently contains a mix of land uses, including Port Orchard's City Hall and public library, numerous retail
and service businesses, a marina and ferry dock, public parking, and a waterfront park and trail. With
access from the water and from state highways 3 and 16, it remains the Citfs primary center for
community events and activities. The City continues to work toward a balance of historic preservation,

environmental restoration, and economic improvement for the downtown center. Downtown Port Orchard
coupled with the County Campus may be a future candidate as a regional center. As of 2018, the Downtown
Port Orchard Center measured 70 acres containing 197 residents and 787 jobs. This equates to 14 activity units
per acre under the PSRC Regional Centers Framework.

2. Vision. The Tremont Corridor is one of three primary entry points into the City of Port Orchard from
Highway 15. Presently the area is a mix of single-family residences, commercial, health care facilities
and multi-family residences. The expanded Harrison Hospital Urgent Care Campus and Kaiser
Permanente facilities are the anchors for businesses along the corridor, particularly from Pottery
Avenue west to Highway 15 forming the basis for a Hospita! Benefit District. The Tremont Corridor is a
through-way for travelers and residents wanting to access shops and services in the core of the city and
businesses and homes in outlying areas. The Tremont Corridor also announces to residents and visitors
alike that the city has economic vitality and provides services and opportunities to its citizens and
residents in the south Kitsap area.
Tremont Corridor residents and Port Orchard citizens have determined that they would like to see the
corridor developed in way that encourage professiona! businesses that support the health care facilities
already in place and businesses that allow the continuing free flow of traffic from Highway 16 into the
downtown areas. Focus should be placed upon pedestrian connections within the district as well as
providing a regional connection to the South Kitsap areas served by the hospitals and emergency
service providers within the district.
Tremont Avenue will be improved and widened with sidewalks, street trees and a landscaped island
that will create a boulevard style of roadway. The Tremont corridor is promoted to include design
standards that will necessitate new development to provide a consistent, attractive Iandscape edge
while maintaining a human scale to new and redevelopment projects. A system of trails that are
pedestrian and bike friendly connecting the Tremont Corridor to the Port Orchard marine walkway with
trails through natura! areas are key to the success of the Tremont district.
The Tremont district is envisioned with some multi-family residences to accommodate the combination
of residential and employment land uses within walking distances of the major health care facilities.
Some cafes and neighborhood services are also envisioned to support those living, working or visiting
the health care facilities. Regulations and design guidelines should help to ensure that parking is
provided in a manner that is beneficial to the neighborhood and enhances the flow of transportation
through the district. ln addition, Tremont Corridor stakeholders envision monument signage that are
tastefully designed and constructed of natural materials.
The corridor from Pottery Avenue east to Sidney Road consists primarily of single-family residences and
small clinics. Single family uses are encouraged as a desired mix of services and residentia! uses within
this district.
3. Housing and Emplovment. As of 20L8, the Tremont Countywide Center measure d 2L5 acres
containingL,O92 residents andTO2jobs. This equates to 8 activity units per acre under the PSRC
regiona! centers framework.

2.7.5.1
The City of Port Orchard has benefited from being the Kitsap County seat, as well as Kitsap County long
serving as the City's largest employer. Kitsap County has proposed several phased development scenarios
to provide options for the expansion of County facilities within the City of Port Orchard over the next 40
ll
years. The District included land use and regulation proposals derived from the Kitsap County Campus
Master Plan created in 2003, which was designed to accomplish the expansion of community facilities and
allow uses that would serve to buffer the residential areas from the Campus.

Vision. The vision of the County Campus Center is to encourage the aesthetic development of the Kitsap
County Government buildin8s in a campus-like setting. The Government / Civic Center District, (GCCD), has
been delineated to be bounded by Dwight Street, Cline Avenue, Kendall Street, and Sidney Avenue. The
purpose of the design standards and review criteria is to ensure that site development and structures in the
Government / Civic Center overlay districts meet the intent of the City for high quality construction in a
campus-like setting. The proposed standards address an array of design elements related to pedestrian

2010 along with significant new commercial development. The area is served by Kitsap Transit. The City
should work to develop a sub area plan for this area prior to the next periodic comprehensive plan update.
As of 2018, the Sidney/Sedgwick Countywide Center measured 148 acres containing 450 residents and 252
jobs. This equates to 5 activity units per acre under the PSRC regional centers framework.

ideal site for industrial and employment uses. The site is served by Kitsap Transit and is located along Old
Clifton Road near SR-16. The City should work to develop a sub area plan for this area prior to the next
periodic comprehensive plan update.

Further planning for each identified local center is required in order to implement the City's vision for the
overall centers strategy. The city is committed to undertaking a sub area planning process for each center,
to better identify center boundaries, develop a vision, goals, and policies for each center. This planning
process will also provide recommendations for amending the development regulations, zoning
designations, design guidelines and capital facility plans to reflect and implement the sub area plans. Sub-
area plans for the centers will be adopted into the City's comprehensive plan.
