Draft Downtown Subarea Plan Sect-03 Updated 4-1-20213 Subarea Plan Goals and Vision and Alternatives r� SECTION 03 1 VISION AND ALTERNATIVES SECTION 03 1 VISION AND ALTERNATIVES 3.1 Proposed Alternatives Approach The proposed design concepts are a single vision for achieving the broader goals outlined in this subarea plan. In the downtown areas, this includes promoting a vibrant walkable community that showcases the City's waterfront. In the County Government Center and the uphill neighborhood the plan incorporates planned expansion at the county campus, provides development flexibility along the Sydney and Cline arterials, and preserves residential areas throughout most of the neighborhood. Due to existing neighborhood constraints and the absence of large tracts of developable land the alternatives are based on a single concept plan.

The area includes a mix of commercial uses primarily on larger more lots fronting the Bay Street and Bethel Ave commercial corridors. WSDOT is currently in the process of redesigning the Bay and Bethel intersection to replace the current signal with a new round -about. The concept plan strives to break -down the scale of existing large sites to provide a more walkable land -use pattern.

The existing waterfront includes large tracts of surface parking developed prior to the adoption of the Shoreline Management Act. Environment and Open Space goals strive to both enhance the environment and the public realm for City residents and guests. ENVIRONMENT AND OPEN SPACE GOALS Goal EOS - 01 Provide improved public shoreline access and recreational opportunities at the waterfront. The Port Orchard waterfront offers excellent recreational opportunities for fishing, beach walking, wildilfe viewing, kayaking and paddleboarding, and more. Goal EOS - 02 Plan to resiliency and to mitigate flooding during high - tides and as a result of sea -level rise identified in, "PO SMP Sea Level Rise Advisement Report 10-2-2020."

Goal EOS - 09 Support the restoration of existing streams including Blackjack Creek, a high priority salmon and steelhead watershed in the West Sound region and consider options for removal of artificial fill to improve estuarine habitat at the mouth of Blackjack Creek. to nt Plaza and kayak launch at Port Street Stormwater buffer with pedestrian boardwalk Concept for existing Blackjack Creek Outlet ENVIRONMENT AND OPEN SPACE POLICIES Policy EOS - 01 Encourage the future replacement of existing shoreline armoring that allows for pedestrians access to the water. (For example refer to Shoreline Armor with Water Access Concept for the West Downtown waterfront) Policy EOS - 02 Encourage the creation of a public kayak launch dock. Policy EOS - 03 Where road ends terminate at the waterfront, they should incorporate a public plaza, overlook, or pocket park. Improvements should also consider shoreline shoreline habitat improvements and enhancements, including potential removal of hard armor and fill to establish "pocket beach" parks. Policy EOS - 04 Convert Orchard and Port Streets to pedestrian plazas with limited vehicle access. Policy EOS - 05 To enhance shoreline ecological functions in the subarea, the City shall emphasize the importance of the following actions: planting riparian vegetation, especially trees, that naturally stabilize banks and shade the intertidal zone; removing hard armor where feasible; replacing hard armor with soft bank protection where feasi ducing the footprint of hard armor (like revet replacing with lower footprint altern (like v al bulkheads pulled landward) where fea ing stormwater and waste tment; d stream channels- ers fo man and freshwater tats.
