Section 1: Title
This document shall be known as the Port Orchard Zoning Ordinance, hereinafter
referred to as the "ordinance" or "this document".
Section 2: Authority
a: The Port Orchard Zoning Ordinance is enacted under the authority granted to the
City of Port Orchard by the Constitution of Washington State, Chapter 35.23 of the
Revised Code of Washington (RCW), and other sections of the RCW's.
Section 3: Purpose
a: The general purposes of the Port Orchard Zoning Ordinance are to:
1) Encourage land use decision making in accordance with the public interest
and applicable laws of Washington State.
2) Protect the general health, safety, and welfare.
3) Implement the Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan's policies and objectives
through land use regulations.
1
4) Provide for the economic, social, and aesthetic advantages of orderly
development through harmonious groups of compatible and complementary land uses
and the application of appropriate development standards.
5) Provide for adequate public facilities and services in conjunction with
development.
6) Promote general public safety by regulating development of lands containing
physical hazards and to minimize adverse environmental impacts of development.
b: In carrying out these purposes, the Zoning Ordinance shall:
1) Establish goals, policies, and plans for the land use and development of the
community.
2) Provide for the implementation of the goals, policies, and plans through the
adoption, administration, and enforcement of plans, regulations, procedures, capital
improvements, and municipal services and programs.
c: The Port Orchard Zoning Ordinance shall be used as a basis for the continual review
and revision of Port Orchard's land use and development goals, policies, regulations,
and procedures.
d: The Port Orchard Zoning Ordinance shall be the basis for designating land use
zones, applying development requirements, and guiding development in areas presently
outside the city but which may be annexed subsequent to the adoption of the ordinance.
The Port Orchard Zoning Ordinance is to be used as a guide by other governmental
agencies when taking action within the Port Orchard urban growth area (UGA).
Section 4: Conformity with this document required
a: No use or structure shall be established, substituted, expanded, constructed, altered,
moved, maintained, or otherwise changed except in conformance with this ordinance.
b: Creation of or changes to lot lines shall conform with the use provisions,
dimensional, and other standards, and procedures of this ordinance.
c: All land uses and development authorized by this ordinance shall comply with other
regulations and or requirements of this document and any other local, state or federal
agency that has jurisdiction over land uses and development. Where a difference exists
between this document and other regulations, the more restrictive requirements shall
apply.
d: Where more than one part of this document applies to the same aspect of a proposed
use or development, the more restrictive requirement shall apply.
F)
e: It is not intended by this ordinance to interfere with or abrogate or anul any
easements, covenants, or other agreements between parties. Where this ordinance
imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings, or land or upon height of
buildings, or requires larger spaces than is imposed or required by other resolutions,
rules or regulations or by easements, covenants, or other agreements, the provisions of
this ordinance shall govern.
Section 5: Minimum requirements
a: In interpretation and application, the requirements set forth in this document shall be
considered the minimum requirements necessary to accomplish the purposes of the Port
Orchard Zoning Ordinance.
b: This document shall not be construed as limiting the legislative discretion of the City
Council to further restrict the permissive uses or to withhold or revoke permits for uses
where, notwithstanding the existence of the minimum standards herein set forth, the
promotion or protection of the public health, morals, safety and welfare bears a
substantial relation to such withholding, denial or revocation of permits or uses.
Section 6: Interpretation - general
a: Regulations, conditions or procedural requirements that are specific to an individual
land use shall supersede regulations, conditions, or procedural requirement of general
application.
b: A land use includes the necessary structures to support the use unless specifically
prohibited or the context clearly indicates otherwise.
c: Chapter and section headings, captions, illustrations, and references to other sections
or titles are for reference or explanation only and shall not be deemed to govern, limit,
modify, or in any manner affect the scope, meaning, or intent of any section. In case of
any ambiguity, difference of meaning or implication between the text and heading,
caption, or illustration - the text and the permitted use tables shall control. All
applicable requirements shall govern a use whether or not they are cross-referenced in
a text section or land use table.
d: The word "shall" is mandatory, the word "should" is advisable, and the word "may"
is discretionary.
e: Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, words in the present tense shall
include past and future tense, and words in the singular shall include the plural, or vice
versa. Except for words and terms included in this title, all words and terms used in
this title shall have their customary meanings.
Section 7: Interpretation - Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
a: All references to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) are to the classification
N
system found in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 edition, prepared
by the United States Office of Management and Budget. The SIC is used with
modifications to suit the purposes of this document and to list and define land uses
authorized to be located in the various zones.
b: The SIC categorizes each land use under a general 2-digit major group number, or
under a more specific 3 or 4-digit industry group or industry number. A use shown on
a land use table with a 2-digit number includes all uses listed in the SIC for that major
group. A use shown with a 3 or 4-digit number includes only the uses listed in the SIC
for that industry group or industry, respectively, and the uses so listed are excluded
from the respective major group.
c: An asterisk (*) in the SIC number column of a land use table means that the SIC
definition for the specific land use identified has been replaced by a definition in this
document. The definition may include one or more SIC subclassification numbers, or
may define the use without reference to the SIC.
d: The Planning Commission shall determine whether a proposed land use not
specifically listed in a land use table or specifically included within a SIC classification
is allowed in a zone. The Planning Commission's determination shall be based on
whether or not permitting the proposed use in a particular zone is consistent with the
purposes of this document and the zone's purposes as set for in this document
considering the following factors:
1) The physical characteristics of the use and its supporting structures, including
but not limited to scope, traffic, and other impacts, and hours of operation.
2) Whether or not the use complements or is compatible with other uses
permitted in the zone.
3) The SIC classification, if any, assigned to the business or other entity that
will carry on the primary activities of the proposed use.
Section 8: Interpretation - zoning map
Where uncertainties exist as to the location of any zone boundaries, the following rules
of interpretation, listed in priority order, shall apply:
a: Where boundaries are indicated as paralleling the approximate centerline of the street
right-of-way, the zone shall extend to each adjacent boundary of the right-of-way. Non
road -related uses by adjacent property owners, if allowed in the right-of-way shall meet
the same zoning requirements regulating the property owners lot.
b: Where boundaries are indicated as following approximate lot lines, the actual lot
lines shall be considered the boundaries.
2
c: Where boundaries are indicated as following lines or ordinary high water, or
government meander line, the lines shall be considered to be actual boundaries. If these
lines should change the boundaries shall be considered to move with them.
d: If none of the rules of interpretation described in the above subparagraphs apply,
then the zoning boundary shall be determined by map scaling.
Section 9: Interpretation - right-of-way
a: Except when such areas are specifically designated on the zoning map as being
classified in one of the zones provided in this document, land contained in
rights -of -way for streets or alleys shall be considered unclassified.
b: Within street or alley rights -of -way, uses shall be limited to street purposes as
defined by law.
c: Where such right-of-way is vacated, the vacated area shall have the zone
classification of the adjoining property with which it is first merged.
Section 10: Administration and review authority
a: The City Council shall have authority to hold public hearings and make decisions on
annexations, comprehensive plan amendments, zoning adjustments, and any appeals of
decisions made by the Planning Commission as specified in this code.
b: The Planning Commission shall have the authority to recommend to City Council
proposals to grant, condition or deny applications for comprehensive plan amendments
and zoning adjustments.

condition or deny applications for zoning variances.

Section 18: Temporary real estate offices
Section 1: Purpose
The purposes of this chapter are to:
a: Acknowledge that much of Port Orchard's uniqueness and history comes from the
variety of older buildings, both residential and commercial, most often located near the
waterfront area. These buildings and uses, although nonconforming by today's
standards, greatly add to the history, charm, and unique quality of our City. The loss
of such buildings could have a detrimental effect on the overall character of Port
Orchard.
b: Establish the legal status of a nonconformance by creating provisions through which
a nonconformance may be maintained, altered, reconstructed, expanded, or terminated.
c: Provide for the temporary establishment of uses that are not otherwise permitted in
a zone and to regulate such uses by their scope and period of use.
103
Section 2: Nonconformance -applicability
a: Sites previously receiving land use approval (including Kitsap County actions on
annexed lands) defined as home occupations, special use permits, variances and
reclassifications and all previously permitted commercial developments are legal uses
as defined within their approval. They are not considered nonconforming.
b: All nonconformities shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter.
c: The provisions of this chapter do not supersede or relieve a property owner from
compliance with:
1) the requirements of the Uniform Building and Fire Codes, and other
superseding regulations such as SEPA and the Shoreline Master Program.
2) the provisions of this code beyond the specific nonconformance addressed by
this chapter.
3) protecting the general health, safety, and welfare of the public.
Section 3• Nonconformance - determining status
a: Any use, structure or other improvement, such as landscaping or signage, or
development standard which was legally established prior to the effective date of this
code, but not meeting the definition of Section 2a above, shall be considered
nonconforming if:
1) the use is now not permitted or cannot meet use limitations applicable to the
zone in which it is located, or
2) the use does not comply with the density, dimensions, landscaping, parking,
sign or residential design standards of this title.
b: A change in the required permit review process shall not create a nonconformance.
c: Any nonconformance that is brought into conformance for any period of time shall
forfeit status as a nonconformance.
Section 4: Nonconformance - lots
a: In any residential district, notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of
this code, a single family dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be erected
on any single lot of record in existence at the time of adoption of the City's first
Zoning Code (Ordinance No. 899 - August 28, 1972). Such lot must be in a separate
ownership. This provision shall apply even though such lot fails to meet the area
requirements that are applicable in this district.
104
b: If 2 or more lots or portions of lots with contiguous road frontage were of single
ownership at the time of passage of the City's first Zoning Code (Ordinance No. 899 -
August 28, 1972) and if all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements of density
as established by this code, the land involved can be divided only into as many tracts as
the density will permit.
c: To qualify as a non -conforming lot, the lot at issue must have lawfully existed in
separate ownership as of August 28, 1972.
Section 5: Nonconformance - abatement of illegal use, structure or development
Any use, structure or other site improvement not established in compliance with use
and development standards in effect at the time of establishment shall be deemed illegal
and shall be discontinued or terminated and subject to removal pursuant to the
provisions of the Port Orchard Municipal Code.
Section 6: Nonconformance - continuation and maintenance of nonconformance
Any nonconformance may be continued or physically maintained as provided by this
chapter.
Section 7: Nonconformance - discontinued nonconforming use or structure
a: Any nonconforming use that ceases for any reason for a period of six (6) consecutive
months or for 18 months within any three year period shall be deemed abandoned and
shall not be reestablished. The only permitted exception is when the building or
business is visibly being sold.
b: When a nonconforming use of a structure or structure and premises in combination
is discontinued, abandoned, or vacated for 6 consecutive months, the structure, or
structure and premises in combination shall not thereafter be used except in
conformance with the regulations of the district in which it is located.
Section 8: Nonconformance - repair or reconstruction of nonconforming structure
A damaged or destroyed nonconforming structure, so long as not self-inflicted, may be
repaired or reconstructed provided that:
a: The extent of the previously existing nonconformance is not increased.
b: The building permit application for repair or reconstruction is submitted within 12
months of the occurrence of damage or destruction.
Section 9: Nonconformance - alteration of nonconforming structure
Alterations to a nonconforming structure may be permitted, provided the alteration
does not increase the area, height or degree of an existing nonconformity.
105
Additions to nonconforming buildings may be made provided that the addition
conforms to the provisions of this code. Otherwise a conditional use permit must be
sought as defined in Section 10.
Section 10: Nonconformance - expansion of nonconformance
Any legal nonconforming use may expand one time only by a maximum of 25 % of the
Kitsap County Assessor's Office assessed value of the land and improvements subject
to approval of a conditional use permit, provided:
1) The proposal complies with the development standards of this code to the
extent feasible.
2) Approval of such proposal shall be based on a finding that the expansion:
A: does not allow an expansion that would be detrimental to adjacent
uses, and
B: improves aspects of safety or function of the nonconformance.
3) Expansions involving environmentally sensitive areas shall be subject to the
provisions of this code.
Section 11: Temporarypermits - uses requiring permits
A temporary use permit shall be required for:
a: Uses not otherwise permitted in the zone that can be made compatible for periods of
limited duration and/or frequency - such as a seasonal event like a produce or farm
market stand.
b: Limited expansion of any use that is otherwise allowed in the zone but which
exceeds the intended scope of the original land use approval - such as a special event
like a tent sales or revival annex.
Section 12: Temporarypermits - exemptions to permit requirement
a: The following uses shall be exempt from requirements for a temporary use permit
when located in the Commercial (Co), Mixed use (Mxd), Employment (Eo), and
Community facilities (Cf) zones for the time period specified below:
1) seasonal uses not to exceed a total of 30 days each calendar year, such as: a)
Christmas tree lots and b) produce stands.

Section 1: Purpose
The purposes of this chapter are to provide for alternative development standards to
address unique site characteristics and to address development opportunities that can
exceed the quality of standard developments by:
a: Establishing authority to adopt property -specific development standards including
contract agreements on individual sites.
b: Establishing authority to adopt planned residential development standards for
individual sites.
c: Establishing special district overlays with alternative standards for special areas
designated by the comprehensive plan.
Section 2: Authority and application
a: This chapter authorizes the creation and adoption of development standards or
limited uses on specific properties beyond the general requirements of the code through
property -specific development standard overlays or planned residential developments,
while it carries out comprehensive plan policies and map designations through special
overlay districts which supplement or modify standard zones through different use,
109
design or density standards.
b: Property -specific development standards shall be applied to specific properties
through either area zoning or reclassification of individual properties.
c: Planned residential development standards shall be applied to specific properties
through the zoning or reclassification process.
d: Special district overlays shall be applied to specific properties or areas containing
several properties through area zoning adopted in conjunction with the comprehensive
plan.
Section 3• Property -specific development standards (-p) - general provisions
a: Property -specific development standards, denoted by the zoning map symbol (-p)
after the zone's map symbol, shall be established on individual properties through
either reclassifications or zoning. Upon the effective date of reclassification of a
property to a zone with a (-p) suffix, the property -specific development standards
adopted thereby shall apply to any development proposal on the property subject to city
review, including, but not limited to: a building permit, grading permit, subdivision,
short subdivision, subsequent reclassification to a conditional use permit, variance, and
special use permit.
b: Property -specific development standards shall address problems unique to individual
properties.
c: Property -specific development standards shall cite the provisions of the code, if any,
that are to be augmented, limited, or increased, shall be supported by documentation
that addresses the need for such condition(s), and shall include street addresses, tax lot
numbers or other clear means of identifying the properties subject to the additional
standards. Property -specific development standards are limited to:
1) Limiting the range of permitted land uses.
2) Requiring special development standards for property with physical
constraints, such as environmental hazards and scenic views.
3) Requiring specific site design features, such as building orientation, lot
layout, clustering or access location.
4) Specifying the phasing of the development of a site.
5) Requiring community facility sites or improvements, such as road
improvements, utilities, parks, open space or school sites.
110
d: Property -specific development standards shall not be used to expand permitted uses
or reduce minimum requirements of the code.
Section 4: Planned residential developments (-prd) - general provisions
a: The intent of planned residential development is to provide for greater site design
and flexibility and, thus, more creative and imaginative projects than generally possible
under conventional zoning regulations. It is further intended to preserve unique or
sensitive physical features, such as steep slopes, views, retention of natural vegetation
and to provide more open space and recreational amenities than would be available
under conventional land development practices. Additionally, it is intended to promote
more economical and efficient use of land and a unified design concept for residential
development.
b: This process allows the applicant to propose a residential or mixed use/residential
development that is innovative or otherwise beneficial to the community but which does
not strictly comply with the provisions of the residential or mixed use zone in which
the property is located.
c: Planned residential development, denoted by the zoning map symbol (-prd) after the
zone's map symbol, may be permitted in the following zoning districts consistent with
the development and design standards of this Zoning Code: Greenbelt, Residential 4.5,
8, 12, and 20, and Mixed Use. However, no dwelling units may be transferred to a
less intensive zone.
d: The minimum lot area required for property proposed for a planned residential
development shall be:
Greenbelt two acres;
Residential 4.5, 8, 12, and 20 one acre;
Mixed use one-half acre
e: Planned residential developments providing a variety of lot sizes are strongly
encouraged. The provision of alleys and designs which incorporate parking at the rear
of sites are also greatly encouraged.
f. When any parcel of land within a planned residential development is intended for
sale or individual ownership, the platting requirements of the Port Orchard subdivision
ordinance and applicable state laws pertaining to subdivisions shall be followed.
Applications for plat approval must be submitted and processed concurrently with the
application for planned residential development approval.
Section 5: Uses permitted
The following uses are permitted in a planned residential development (-prd):
1) Single-family detached dwellings in the Gb, R4.5, R8, and R12 zones, and
ill
2) Single-family attached dwellings in the R8, R12, R20, and Mxd zones, and
3) Multifamily dwellings in the R12, R20, and Mxd zones, and
4) Accessory uses as permitted in the underlying zones, and
5) Uses permitted outright in the underlying zones, and
6) Uses that may be allowed by conditional use permits or special use permits in
the underlying zoning subject to the requirements in that section of this code.
Section 6• Modification of development standards
a: The City, using planned residential development, may allow the following
development standards to be modified:
1) Building setbacks, except that structures located on the perimeter of the
planned residential development shall be set back in accordance with setbacks of the
underlying zone;
2) Height of building or structure, provided that the project design protects the
views and privacy of properties inside and outside of the project;
3) Required off-street parking spaces;
4) Landscaping requirements;
5) Sign requirements;
6) Design standards;
7) Lot size, except that single-family detached dwelling unit lots must maintain
a usable minimum diameter of 50 feet behind all setbacks and lot area of 1,963 square
feet.
b: Standards which may not be modified or altered are:
1) Shoreline regulations when the property is located in an area under the
jurisdiction of the Shoreline Master Program;
2) Standards pertaining to development in environmentally sensitive areas;
3) Regulations pertaining to nonconforming uses, structures, or lots;
4) Standards within the Developer's Handbook including, but not limited to,
street and sidewalk standards, platting requirements, utility requirements, and
stormwater regulations.
Section 7• Special district overlays (-so)-general provisions
Special district overlays shall be designated on the comprehensive plan maps and
indicated on area zoning maps as follows:
a: Designation of an overlay district shall include policies that prescribe the purposes
and location of the overlay.
b: A special district overlay shall be applied to land through the area zoning adopted in
conjunction with the comprehensive plan and shall be indicated on the zoning map with
the suffix (-so) following the map symbol of the underlying zone or zones.
112
c: The special district overlays set forth in this code are the only authorized overlays.
New or amended overlays to carry out new or different goals or policies shall be
adopted as part of this code.
d: The special district overlays set forth in this code may waive, modify, and substitute
for the range of permitted uses and development standards established by the code for
any use or underlying zone.
e: Unless they are specifically modified by the provisions of the overlay districts, the
standard requirements of the code and other city ordinances and regulations govern all
development and land uses within special district overlays.
f: A special district overlay on an individual site may be modified by property -specific
development standards as described in this chapter.
Section 8• Downtown/Waterfront Design Overlay District (-downZ
a: The purpose of the Downtown/Waterfront Overlay District (-down) is to gradually
develop or redevelop existing characteristics to create a mixed use and architectural
style that reflects what is common and unique to the Port Orchard business and
waterfront districts.
b: A secondary purpose of the district is to develop major public pedestrian
boardwalk/trail corridors within this district, west and east along Sinclair Inlet
shorelines, and south up to the older residential neighborhoods on the hillside.
c: The boundaries and applicable standards of the Downtown/Waterfront Overlay
District (-down) will be defined by studies involving affected property owners.

b: A secondary purpose of the district is to preserve and protect a park -like or
greenway buffer along adjacent hillsides that view into and are viewed from the
corridor.
c: The boundaries and applicable standards of the Blackjack Creek Corridor Overlay
District (Jack) will be defined by studies involving affected property owners.
Section 12• Tremont Street Design Overlay District (-trmt)
a: The purpose of the Tremont Street Design Overlay District (-trmt) is to develop the
frontage and large ownership properties that abut Tremont Street with new site and
mixed use building characteristics that reflect or incorporate an architectural scale and
heritage that is appropriate to Port Orchard.
b: A second purpose of the district is to define gateways and other urban streetscapes
that establish the corridor as a principal entry into the city.

The purpose of this chapter is to establish requirements for development in relation to
residential density and basic dimensional standards, as well as, specific rules for
general application. The standards and rules are established to provide flexibility in
project design, provide solar access, and maintain privacy between adjacent uses.
Section 2: Interpretation of tables
a: This chapter defines general density and dimension standards for the various zones
and limitations specific to a particular zone(s).
b: The density and dimension tables are arranged in a matrix format in a separate table.
Development standards are listed down the left side of the table, and the zones are
listed at the top. The matrix cells contain the minimum dimensional requirements of the
zone. The parenthetical numbers in the matrix identify specific requirements applicable
to a specific use or zone. A blank box indicates that the standard does not apply in that
situation. If more than 1 standard appears in a cell, each standard will be subject to
115
any applicable parenthetical footnote following the standard. See "Densities and
dimensions" table.
Section 3: Densities and dimensions
See "Densities and dimensions" table.
Minimum lot sizes must be met as defined in the "Densities and dimensions" table
unless otherwise approved by the City Council within a Planned Residential
Development (PRD).
PRD standards are contained elsewhere in this code.
Section 4: Measurement methods
The following provisions shall be used to determine compliance with this document:
a: Street setbacks shall be measured from the existing edge of public right-of-ways,
improved or unimproved.
b. Building height shall not exceed 33 feet to the roof drip line at any point around the
structure from the lowest point of the finished grade, unless a fire protection plan is
approved by both the City Planner and the Fire Authority.
c. Buildings within a view protection district, as established by City Council
Resolution shall comply with the following height restrictions:
Building height shall not exceed a measurement of 15 feet from the highest
ridge line of the structure to the elevation of the uphill property line. If the
uphill property line is not level, the City shall use the average elevation of the
uphill property line for a basis of measurement. Variances to this view
protection height limit shall be reviewed by the City Council.
d: Lot area shall be the total horizontal land area contained within the boundaries of a
lot.
e: Impervious surface calculations shall not include areas of turf, landscaping, natural
vegetation, or surface water retention/detention facilities.
Section 5: Calculations - net useable site area
The area of a lot which may be used in the calculation of allowed dwelling units shall
be the total site area less sensitive environmental features (equal to gross useable site
area) and dedications as these areas are defined elsewhere in this code.

Section 6• Calculations - allowable dwelling units
Permitted number of units shall be determined as follows:
a: The maximum allowed number of dwelling units shall be computed by multiplying
the net useable site area (total site area less sensitive environmental features and
dedications) by the applicable residential density.
b: When calculations result in a fraction, the fraction shall be rounded to the nearest
whole number as follows:
1) fractions of 0.50 or above shall be rounded up; and
2) fractions below 0.50 shall be rounded down.
Section 7: Density credits
a: Sensitive areas and their buffers may be used in the calculation of allowed residential
density whenever 2 or more residential lots or 2 or more multifamily dwelling units are
created subject to the following limitations:
1) Full density credit shall be allowed for erosion and seismic hazard areas.
Flood hazard areas outside of streams, wetlands, or associated buffers shall be counted
for full density credit.
2) No density credit shall be allowed for streams, lakes, ponds, and other
bodies of water.
3) Partial to full density credit shall be allowed for steep slopes, landslide
hazard areas, wetlands, and required buffers for any sensitive area according to the
following table:

b: Allowed density on sites containing sensitive areas shall be calculated as follows:
117
1) Determine the percentage of site area in sensitive areas and buffers by
dividing the total area in required sensitive areas and buffers by the total site area.
2) Multiply the density credit percentage set forth in subsection a: by the site
area in sensitive areas and buffers to determine the effective sensitive area.
3) Add the effective sensitive area to the site area not in sensitive areas or
buffers. The resulting acres shall be considered the effective site area for purposes of
determining the allowable dwelling units pursuant to the zoning regulations.
4) By way of example, the density credit provisions apply as follows for a 10
acre site under the R8 zone:
a) The square feet in the site is 435,600 of which ponds include 45,000
square feet, steep slopes include 82,000 square feet, and required wetland buffers
include 60,000 square feet.
b) Divide the total amount of sensitive areas and buffers (187,000 square
feet) by the total site (435,600 square feet) equal to 42.9 percent.
c) Apply the density credit from the chart (equal to a 60 percent density
credit where the amount of site in a sensitive area is between 41-50 percent).
d) Multiply the steep slopes and required buffers only (142,000 square
feet since no credit is received for ponds) by the density credit of 60 percent equal to
85,200 square feet.
e) Add the unconstrained site area (248,600 square feet) plus the
sensitive area density credit (85,200 square feet) to create the effective site area for
density calculations (333,800 square feet).
f) Divide the total effective site area by 43,560 square feet to determine
acreage (333,800 square feet/43,560 square feet/acre = 7.6 acres) and multiply by the
density allowed in the R8 zone (7.6 acres x 8 dwelling units/acre) = 60.8 which is
rounded up to 61 dwelling units maximum (note that the maximum density may be
reduced by other provisions of this code).
c: The density transfer can be utilized only within the development proposal site. The
applicant may cluster and configure the site's development to accommodate the transfer
of density but cannot change the type of uses or housing products allowed within the
zone proper.
118
Section 8: Lot area - prohibited reduction
Any portion of a lot that was required to calculate and ensure compliance with the
standards and regulations of this title shall not be subsequently subdivided or
segregated from such lot.

b: When a lot is located between lots with structures having nonconforming street
setbacks, the required street setback for such middle lot may be the average of the 2
nonconforming setbacks or 60 percent of the required street setback, whichever results
in the greater street setback.
Section 10: Setbacks - regional utility corridors
a: In subdivisions and short subdivisions, areas used as regional utility corridors as
identified in this code shall be contained in separate tracts.
b: In other types of land development permits, easements shall be used to delineate
such corridors.

transmission structures, utility line towers and poles, and similar structures.
120
Section 15: Lot divided by zone boundary
When a lot is divided by a zone boundary, the following rules shall apply:
a: When a lot contains both residential and nonresidential zoning, the zone boundary
between the zones shall be considered a lot line for determining required setbacks on
the site.
b: When a lot contains residential zones of varying density, any residential density
transfer within the lot shall only be allowed from the portion with the lesser residential
density to that of the greater residential density.
c: Uses on each portion of the lot shall only be those permitted in each zone.
Section 16: Sight distance requirements
Except for utility poles and traffic control signs, the following sight distance provisions
shall apply to all intersections and commercial site access points:
a: A sight distance triangle area as determined by subparagraph b following shall
contain no fence, berm, vegetation, on -site vehicle parking area, signs or other physical
obstruction between 42 inches and 8 feet above the existing street grade.

Section 1: Purpose
a: These guidelines do not alter the land uses or densities allowed in the underlying
123
zoning districts defined in the preceding sections of this code. Nor do these guidelines
alter any adopted ordinances, resolutions, or standards relative to development. Rather,
these guidelines seek to define and illustrate how new developments can respond to the
character of its surroundings.
b: A city's character is determined by the collective images created by its architecture,
streets, parks, shops, open spaces, public art, and buildings. These features reflect the
concerns of the citizenry and the image the citizens have of their community. Whether
planned or happenstance, the results are a reflection of, and in turn, reflect upon the
image the citizens present to themselves and to outsiders.
c: Good designs are not expensive. The final results are not more costly to build than
poorly conceived, badly designed developments - and in fact, may cost less to build and
operate. An appropriately scaled building with enhancing facades, signage, color, and
ornamentation can provide the same interior square footage as an ill-conceived
rectangular box - and may even be more functional and efficient.
d: Good designs result from a process that includes forethought, planning, standards,
examples, critical reviews, and consequence. The purpose of this chapter is to define
and illustrate those features that the community finds to be worthy of emulation when
the design of new projects is undertaken.
e: These guidelines seek to suggest possible design concepts and approaches that realize
the desired state. The guidelines use the verbs "should" and "may" rather than "shall"
and "must", recognizing that the objective is the ends, not the means. The guidelines
seek to achieve a community design aesthetic within a process that allows individual
expression and flexibility to meet changing circumstances while enhancing the
ambience of Port Orchard.
f: While the standards defined in this chapter are guidelines and not regulations, a
project developer will demonstrate how each relevant guideline has been accounted for.
A project developer may propose alternative solutions, but each relevant criteria will be
addressed.
Property configurations
Section 2: Lot and block layouts
a: Blocks should have sufficient width to provide for a maximum of 2 tiers of lots of
appropriate depths. Exceptions should be permitted in blocks adjacent to major streets,
railroads, waterways, or involving unique site conditions that make this requirement
impractical.
124
b: Lots to be created within a proposed site plan or subdivision should comply with the
following requirements.
1) Every lot should have a minimum frontage of 25 feet on a public or privately
dedicated right-of-way. A repair and maintenance access should be provided to all lots
by site plan or plat easement and property deed. Required easements shall be shown on
the face of the site plan or plat.
2) Lot lines should be at right angles to street lines or radial to curvilinear
streets unless a variation will result in a better street or lot plan.
3) Dimensions of corner lots should be large enough to allow for front yard
setbacks off both streets.
4) Corner lots should be graded to provide sufficient sight clearance at
intersections.
Roadway elements
Section 3: Right-of-way dedications
a: All site plans and subdivisions should provide direct access to at least one existing
improved and publicly dedicated street.
b: When a proposed site plan or subdivision is abutting an existing street or streets with
a right-of-way of lesser width than specified by city ordinances, the applicant may be
required as a condition of approval to deed additional right-of-way width and to
improve said right-of-way to the design specifications of the City Engineer. The city
may require dedication of right-of-way in excess of standards in the following cases:
1) Where additional width is necessary to maintain continuity with the adjoining
rights -of way;
2) Where additional width is necessary to maintain alignment with adjoining
streets and sidewalks improvements; and
c: Dead-end streets shall be used on access streets only and should terminate in a
cul-de-sac. Streets which dead-end and which would normally be continued if the
adjacent property were developed, should be shown as temporary turnarounds. The
land beyond the normal right-of-way for such streets shall revert to the abutting
property owners when the street is continued.
d: Half -streets shall not be allowed.
125
Section 4: Street layouts
a: The street within and adjacent to a site plan or subdivision should be classified and
designed to comply with the road standards as adopted by City resolution or ordinance,
Comprehensive Plan and major street map of the city. Major streets should refer to
designated arterial and collector streets and minor streets should refer to access streets
and cul-de-sacs.
b: Proposed streets should extend to the boundary lines of the proposed site plan or
subdivision in order to provide for the future development of adjacent tracts unless
prevented by natural or man-made conditions or unless such extension is determined to
be unnecessary or undesirable by the Planning Commission or City Council.
c: The street pattern for commercial site plans and subdivisions should be designed to
expedite traffic movement, reduce conflicts between various types of land uses
including pedestrian access, and coordinate the location of proposed buildings with
vehicular loading and parking facilities. To the extent practical and feasible,
commercial site plans should provide common driveways and integral access through or
between the property and adjacent properties and surrounding residential
neighborhoods.
d: The street pattern for industrial site plans and subdivisions should be designed to
expedite traffic movement, reduce conflicts between various types of land uses
including pedestrian access, and coordinate the location of proposed buildings with
airport, railroad, waterfront, and vehicular loading and parking facilities.
Section 5: Street signage
a: Public street names shall conform to the City of Port Orchard system.
b: Signs shall be installed as designated by the City Engineer before final site plan or
plat approval.
Site plan elements
Section 6: Grading and storm drainage
a: Structures, roadways, and other site improvements should be designed to blend with
the natural topography with the minimum amount of site disturbance and grade
changes. Large cuts and fills requiring tall or long retaining walls or rockeries are not
appropriate.
b: Major drainage corridors and detention facilities should be graded and landscaped to
blend with the natural landscape in accordance with the provisions of the city
stormwater drainage ordinance. Where possible, stormwater facilities should be
126
incorporated into the site's design as aesthetic amenities, enhanced portions of walkway
or trail corridors, and/or special visual accents. Where retention/detention ponds are
highly visible or used as a design feature, water levels within the pond should be
maintained during the dry season for visual accent purposes.
Section 7: Landforms and viewsheds
a: Buildings should be fit into the existing topography to appear to be an integral part
of the natural landform. On sloping sites, buildings should be stepped into the slope to
reflect the sloping grade.
b: Buildings should be placed to preserve and frame views of natural features including
the waterfront and mountain ranges, and significant townscapes including the
downtown and significant architectural landmarks from other properties within the
surrounding viewshed.
Section 8: Parking lots and areas
a: Parking areas or lots should be located along the side, rear or in courtyard
configurations to retain a building frontage along road corridors and control the scale
of the streetscape.
b: Parking lot aisles should be aligned perpendicular to commercial, retail, and office
building entries to provide protected walking spaces and visual focus on building
entrances.
c: Where feasible, parking lots should be varied in grade, bermed, and/or differentiated
with planting materials to reduce the visible extent of paved surfaces.
d: Parking structures should be integrated into surrounding buildings or streetscapes
using facades, artworks, landscaping, or other means that visually filter the view of
parked cars from pedestrian walkways and trails, adjacent building occupants, and the
commercial roadway.
e: Downtown streets will be reserved for short term, customer oriented parking spaces,
particularly during off-peak traffic hours and prime retail hours and events. Where
possible and practical, loading activities should be accomplished from a side street or
back property location to reserve through access streets for customer parking use.
f: Within the Downtown/Waterfront Design Overlay District (-down), the buildable
land should be developed primarily for building spaces and outdoor activities related to
the retail, commercial, residential, public, and other pedestrian activities of the district
- and not for parking, storage or other less intensive, nonpedestrian oriented purposes.
g: Parking for the Downtown/Waterfront Design Overlay District (-down) may be
127
provided in off -site locations, potentially within consolidated parking lots.
Streetscape elements
Section 9: Walkways and trails
a: Buildings should front onto walkways or trails to be developed within each district in
accordance with the nonmotorized transportation element of the comprehensive plan.
b: The walkways or trails should be incorporated into the site development as the
principal, publicly -accessible pedestrian space and design focus of the development and
between the development and adjacent properties and surrounding residential
neighborhoods.
c: The walkways or trails should integrally connect each development, particularly
retail and commercial projects, with adjacent properties and residential neighborhoods.
d: The walkways or trails should extend through parking lots and parking areas in
separated medians or other placements that protect pedestrians from vehicular traffic.
Section 10: Walkway and trail corridor zones
a: A minimum width of 5 feet of any walkway or trail corridor will be clear of any
temporary furnishings in order to accommodate pedestrians.
b: The periphery sections of the corridors, which may be combined on one side, may
be used to display advertising signage, flower pots or other moveable plantings, and/or
outdoor seating areas on a temporary, special event basis.
Section 11: Building entry and access
a: Building entry and access shall be provided within the private property beyond the
public walkway or trail corridor.
b: Vestibules and other recessed areaways should be used to define and provide
pedestrian access apart from the public walkway space.
c: Vestibules and recessed areaways should visually alert pedestrians within the public
walkway or trail corridor and be sufficiently attractive to invite visual interest.
Section 12: Outdoor activities
a: As an amenity - ground floor outdoor spaces such as plazas, squares, eating, seating
areas, and/or retail alcoves and inner courtyard spaces or greens should be provided as
integral parts of the development.

Pedestrian walkways and corridor
The project successfully establishes a central pedestrian walkway that leads shoppers from the
nearby downtown district into the village shopping area where buildings are fronted onto a central
boardwalk space. The central space is provided additional access from a variety of more intimate,
pedestrian alleyways that service parking lots located behind the buildings.
131
Langley Village, Langley, Whidbey Island
Retail alcoves, arcades and walkways
The project created series of intimate retail alleyways, courtyards, and alcoves that lead from the
central boardwalk area into, past and through fronting retail stores and window display spaces.
132
b: The ground floor outdoor spaces should adjoin and be accessible from, and may
occasionally spill over into the public walkway or trail corridor space - but may not be
permanent improvements or uses of the public walkway or trail corridor space.
Section 13: Streetscape furnishings
a: Improvements to the public walkway or trail corridor spaces may utilize the public
Streetscape furnishings palette selected for the corridor.
b: Improvements to the adjoining private spaces should incorporate or continue the
materials, colors, and/or styles of the public furnishings palette in order to provide
design continuity.
c: Where appropriate, project developments should provide pedestrian scaled lighting
fixtures to illuminate walkways, trails, parking areas, and other people spaces. Lighting
shields should direct illumination onto pedestrian spaces and away from adjacent
properties or uses. Generally, free standing fixtures should not exceed 14 feet in
height.
Section 14: Public artworks
a: Building and property developments should incorporate outdoor artwork.
b: Artwork may be permanently incorporated into functional areas that are accessible to
the public including parking lots, accessory buildings and structures, as well as
building entries.
c: Where the building or site is of historical or cultural interest, interpretive signage
and other exhibits or monuments should be incorporated into building or site
improvements that are physically and visually accessible to the public.
Landscape elements
Section 15: Walkway and trail corridors
a: Landscaping along the public walkway or trail corridor may utilize the street trees
and plant materials palette selected for the public walkway or trail corridor.
b: Improvements within the adjoining private spaces, such as outdoor eating areas,
plazas, and the like, should incorporate or continue the same plantings in order to
enhance the definition of the corridor.
Section 16: Buildings and yards
a: The landscape design should highlight and focus views of the building frontages and
entries, particularly retail window displays, pedestrian areas, and amenities.
133
Langley Village, Langley, Whidbey Island
Trellis landscaping
The project effectively incorporated planted trellis building overhangs and stand alone structures to
provide pedestrians protection from the elements, and add visual interest.
134
Langley Business District; Whidbey Island
Landscaping details
These projects effectively use simple plantings to define the boundaries between parking and
walkway areas, add color, and scale. Plant materials are hardy native.selections that are easy to
maintain.
135
b: The design should create a special or individual character of the private portions of
each property and building.
c: Vines may be planted on buildings, fences, walls and other blank surfaces,
particularly structures faced with brick and masonry or that are enhanced with trellis
overhangs.
d: Moveable planters with seasonal plantings should be placed at building entries,
particularly within alcoves and inner courtyards.
e: All plantings, particularly ornamentals, should be provided irrigation or other
watering methods to ensure plant survival.
Section 17: Parking lots
a: Shade trees and ground covers should be installed in parking medians and/or
landscape set -asides in parking areas and lots to soften the visual impact, reduce glare,
and provide visual interest.
Section 1S: Buffer and common areas
a: Within the landscape buffer areas about the property, particularly along secondary
access roads and around parking lots that do not abut the public pedestrian walkway or
trail corridors - site plantings should be grouped to simulate natural stands and should
not be planted symmetrically or of even spacing.
b: Landscape designs should reflect natural planting materials and settings that are
representative of the local and regional landscape.
c: Where practical and feasible, buffer areas should retain existing larger trees and
vegetation to maintain continuity with adjacent greenways and natural areas.
d: Within higher density residential developments, buffer or open spaces may be
grouped into common open space areas that define building placements, provide visual
accents, preserve landscape or landform features, or house common activity areas -
such as playgrounds, swimming pools, or parking areas.
Section 19: Screening
a: Landscape, fence or other improvements should be erected to visually screen refuse,
storage, loading docks, and other areas that are not to be accessible or viewed from
public walkways, corridors, and roadways.
b: Latches and other devices should be used to secure refuse and storage areas from
animals and children.

a: Buildings that face onto commercial parking streets and/or public walkway and trail
corridors should be built to front onto the pedestrian space or activity area to create
continuous frontages of interest to the corridor.
b: Buildings may abut or share common sidewalls subject to Uniform Building Code
(UBC) fire code and emergency access requirements.
Section 21: Building heights
Building elevations facing public areas should incorporate offsets, modulations, and
additional setbacks above the second story to reduce massing at the pedestrian scale.
The purpose of this is to prevent imposing or tunnel -like effects and to visually break-
up long, continuous facades. It also encourages more aesthetically pleasing
architecture.
Section 22: Modulation and articulation
a: Building elevations should be horizontally modulated in no larger than 40 to 60 foot
increments to create architectural relief and interest.
b: Vestibules, entries, and other architectural adaptations should provide further visual
definition and reduce the mass of larger buildings - especially commercial and
industrial structures.
c: Within the Downtown/Waterfront Design Overlay District (-down), a building's
elevation and mass should be modulated to reflect the narrow, commercial facades
typical of the main street or marketplace architectural styles that produced most of the
existing building stock.
d: Residential buildings should provide architectural details that create pedestrian scale
and interest - such as porches and stoops, bay windows and dormers, and window and
siding trim.
Section 23: Building entries
a: Building entrances should be visually defined from access walkways, fronting
streets, and parking areas. Building designs may use columns, arches, porches,
recesses, or other concepts to create architectural focus and interest.
b: The principal building entrance should be accessed from major walkways or trail
corridors or other pedestrian ways - or otherwise address the street - as opposed to the
building's parking lots and access roads.

Inappropriate design
Modulated street scale
Modulation - infill development/downtown
The composition of the street should be maintained. New infill buildings should be sited at the
property line to maintain a pedestrian streetscape. The rhythmn or modulation created by the older
lots and buildings should be retained in new infill constructions. The pattern and proportion of
windows and doors (fenestration) reflect the original building's scale and character - and should be
complimented by new building designs.

Developable building envelope
Modulated scale
Modulation - new developments
New buildings should be designed to create visual interest and scale. The building envelope should
be defined by vertical and horizontal modulations that establish form and pattern. The building
facade should be defined with setbacks, awnings, balconies, roof decks, eaves, and contrasting
materials to reduce the massive impact of otherwise sheer, flat surfaces. Effective designs incorporate
a variety of forms and materials to establish a recurring pattern or design theme that defines a scale
and visual interest. Generally, new commercial buildings should modulate horizontal features
within a 40 to 60 foot grid.

Section 24: Ground floor activities - mixed use developments
a: First or ground floors should be devoted to retail, commercial or a similar public use
with pedestrian appeal where the building fronts onto a commercial street or the public
pedestrian walkway or trail corridor. Activities that serve the elderly or handicapped
may be located or accessed from the ground floor or street level of proposed
developments.
b: Upper floors may be commercial or office where the building has a double frontage,
but generally should be residential where the building is not publicly accessible.
c: The first or ground floor should be at least 12-feet and preferably 14-feet in height
where the ground floor use is retail or commercial, and the building fronts onto a
commercial street or the public pedestrian walkway or trail corridors.
d: Upper floors may be 10, 12 or 14-feet in height depending on occupant uses and
exterior appearances.
Section 25: Upper floor balconies, alcoves, decks
a: Upper floors should incorporate balconies, alcoves, decks or other outdoor spaces to
provide an amenity and increase visual definition to the building - particularly of the
building frontages that face onto commercial streets and the public pedestrian walkway
or trail corridors.
b: Within the Downtown/Waterfront Design Overlay District (-down), the upper floor
spaces may extend over the public walkway or trail corridor where the design provides
interesting visual definition to the space and building - provided the building extension
does not overpower the pedestrian space or create a tunnel, cave or similarly confined
spatial affect.
Section 26: Awnings and canopies
a: As an amenity, commercial or retail developments may provide permanent or
retractable awnings, overhangs, arcades or skylights sheltering pedestrians and
shoppers from the elements where the public walkway or trail corridor traverses
through the site.
b: The design of awnings and canopies should provide natural lighting and openness
and continuous protection from the elements but not overly obscure or shadow the
walkway or trail corridor.
c: Awnings or canopies should be hung above the display window space at least 10 to
14-feet above the public walkway with a minimum 8-foot vertical clearance.
d: Structural supports for awnings or canopies will be provided from the building or
adjacent private property. Such awnings or canopies may be supported by posts or
columns within the public walkway or trail corridor with variance approval.
Section 27: Display windows
a: Ground floor retail and commercial spaces along the public walkway or trail
corridors should provide display window space to showcase commercial, retail or other
public uses and wares in a storefront style typical of main street or marketplace
architecture. Window space coverings should be translucent materials to provide
pedestrians views into ground floor spaces and activities.
b: The corners of buildings that are located at the intersections on commercial streets
and principal public walkway or trail corridors should provide some form of visual
interest such as window displays, artwork or signage.
Section 28: Signage
a: Building advertising signs may be hung from below the awnings perpendicular to the
building (but no lower than a height 8 feet above the walkway at the bottom of the
sign), or on the face of the awning or canopy, or in the window of the retail
establishment in a style and scale common of main street or marketplace architecture.
b: Signs may be mounted on the face of the building, provided the advertising does not
detract or overpower the building architecture and scale.
c: Signs should incorporate graphics, colors, logos, and other elements as much as
possible to provide visual interest and reduce "word clutter".
d: Decorative banners, wall murals, and other artwork of graphic and noncommercial
nature may be appropriate on buildings located within the Downtown/Waterfront
Design Overlay District (-down).
e: Within mixed use districts outside of the Downtown/Waterfront Design Overlay
District (-down), signs may be mounted on the face of the building, provided the
advertising does not detract or overpower the building architecture and scale, and
reflects the building's elevational modulations.
Section 29: Materials and colors
a: Building materials within the Downtown/Waterfront Design Overlay District
(-down) should repeat the textures, scales, and rhythms common of main street or
marketplace architecture, and be compatible with existing building stock.
b: Contemporary materials may be used if the design and texture effectively emulates
or enhances existing building styles and textures.
149
Section 30: Accessory buildings
a: Independent parking structures, storage buildings or other accessory enclosures
should be designed to complement the principal, adjacent buildings in form, detail,
color, and material.
b: Generally, accessory buildings and structures should be designed with similar or
complementary roof slopes and building materials as the primary structure.
Section 31: Rooftop equipment
a: Roof -mounted mechanical equipment and other accessories that are not to be
accessed or viewed from adjacent properties or public corridors should be screened and
integrated into the building structure and shell.
Section 32: Solar orientations
a: Building designs, particularly within new developments, should be located to
maximize the use of passive solar potentials.
b: Where possible, major window areas and outdoor activities should be oriented along
the south facing facades and yards.

Section l: Purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to provide adequate parking for all uses allowed in this
section; to reduce demand for parking by encouraging alternative means of
transportation including public transit, rideshare, and bicycles; and to increase
pedestrian mobility in urban areas by:
a: Setting minimum off-street parking standards for different land uses that assure safe,
convenient, and adequately sized parking facilities within activity centers.
b: Providing incentives to rideshare through preferred parking arrangements.
c: Providing for parking and storage of bicycles.
d: Providing safe direct pedestrian access from public rights -of -way to structures and
between developments.
e: Requiring uses which attract large numbers of employees or customers to utilize
transit and provide transit stops.
Section 2: Authority and application
a: Before an occupancy permit may be granted for any new or enlarged building or to a
151
change to a different use in any existing building that involves additional parking, the
use shall be required to meet the provisions of this chapter.
b: If this chapter does not specify a parking requirement for a land use, the City
Engineer shall establish the minimum requirement based on a study of anticipated
parking demand. In the study, the applicant shall provide sufficient information to
demonstrate that the parking demand for a specific land use will be satisfied. Parking
studies by individuals with expertise in traffic and parking analysis may be required, by
the City Engineer.
c: If the required amount of off-street parking has been proposed to be provided
off -site, the applicant shall provide written contracts with affected landowners showing
that required off-street parking shall be provided in a manner consistent with the
provisions of this chapter. The contracts shall be reviewed by the City Engineer for
compliance with this chapter, and if approved, the contracts shall be recorded with the
Kitsap County Auditor as a deed restriction on the title to all applicable properties.
These deed restrictions may not be revoked or modified without authorization by the
City Engineer or Planning Commission.
d: Development along both sides of Bay Street from the crosswalk at Harrison Avenue
to Orchard Avenue is exempt from the parking requirements of this chapter.
Section 3• Computation of required off-street parking spaces
a: Off-street parking areas shall contain at a minimum the number of parking spaces as
stipulated in the accompanying table. Off-street parking ratios expressed as number of
spaces per square feet means the gross square footage of floor area. If the formula for
determining the number of off-street parking spaces results in a fraction, the number of
off-street parking spaces shall be rounded to the nearest whole number with fractions of
0.50 or greater rounding up and fractions below 0.50 rounding down.
b: An applicant may request a modification of the minimum required number of
parking spaces by substantiating that parking demand can be met with a reduced
parking requirement. In such cases, the City Engineer may approve a reduction of up
to 50 percent of the minimum required number of spaces.
c: When the city has received a shell -and -core building permit application, off-street
parking requirements shall be based on the possible tenant improvements or uses
authorized by the zone designation and compatible with the limitations of the shell -and -
core permit. When the range of possible uses result in different parking requirements,
the City Engineer will establish the amount of parking based on a likely range of uses.
d: Bicycle parking may be required in accordance with the following provisions:

Section 4: Shared parking requirements
The amount of required off-street parking may be reduced by an amount determined by
the City Engineer when shared parking facilities for 2 or more uses are proposed,
provided:
a: The total parking area exceeds 5,000 square feet.
b: The parking facilities are designed and developed as a single on -site common
parking facility, or as a system of on -site and off -site facilities, if all facilities are
connected with improved pedestrian paths.
c: No building or use involved is more than 1,000 feet from the most remote shared
facility.
d: The amount of the reduction shall not exceed 10 percent for each use, unless:
1) The normal hours of operation for each use are separated by at least 1 hour;
156
or
2) A parking demand study is prepared by a qualified individual and submitted

Section 8• Transit and rideshare provisions
To support the use of ridesharing as an alternative mode of transportation that will aid
the City in its efforts to reduce air pollution, traffic congestion, and fossil fuel
consumption, the following shall apply:
a: All land uses with twenty-five (25) employees working at any given work site during
a single work shift listed under the Government/Business Services and Manufacturing
tables shall be required to reserve parking spaces for registered rideshare vehicle
parking as follows:
1) There shall be a minimum of one open parking space reserved for an
employee rideshare vehicle, and all registered rideshare vehicles shall have a reserved
parking space.
2) A vehicle parked in a rideshare vehicle only parking space, must be
registered in Kitsap Transit's countywide public "Rideshare Vehicle Registration
Program", qualify as a rideshare vehicle as defined by Kitsap Transit, and display a
valid car/vanpool pass.
3) Each rideshare vehicle parking space shall be clearly labeled with a Kitsap
Transit carpool or vanpool parking sign.
4) Except for "disabled parking" spaces, rideshare vehicle parking spaces shall
be located closer to the primary employee entrance than any other employee parking

Engineer may reduce the number of required off-street parking spaces.
c: All uses which are located on an existing transit route and are required under the
computation for required off-street parking to provide more than two hundred (200)
parking spaces may be required to provide transit shelters, bus turnout lanes or other
transit improvements as a condition of permit approval. Uses that reduce required
parking under "Subsection b" of this section may provide transit shelters if transit
routes adjoin the site.
Section 9: Pedestrian circulation and access
The following general pedestrian design standards shall apply to all developments
throughout the city in addition to those outlined elsewhere within the special design
districts:
a: All uses, except single family detached building permits, shall provide pedestrian
access onto the site. Pedestrian access shall be located as follows:
1) Access points at property edges and to adjacent lots shall be coordinated with
the existing development to provide circulation patterns between development sites.
Pedestrian access to adjacent lots shall not be required if the topography is greater than
3 % between the lots.
2) Residential developments shall provide links between cul-de-sacs or groups
of buildings to allow pedestrian access from within the development and from adjacent
developments to activity centers, parks, common tracts, open spaces, schools or other
public facilities, transit stops, and public streets.
b: Pedestrian walkways shall minimize the conflict between pedestrians and traffic at
all points of pedestrian access to on -site parking and building entrances as follows:
1) All developments which contain more than 1 building shall provide walkways
between the principal entrances of the buildings.
2) Pedestrian walkways across parking areas shall be located as either one of the
following:
a) Walkways running parallel to the parking rows shall be provided at a
minimum of every 2 parking lot aisles.
b) Walkways running perpendicular to the parking rows shall be no
further apart than 25 parking spaces.
c: Pedestrian access and walkways shall meet the following minimum design standards:
WITH
1) Access and walkways shall be physically separated from driveways and
parking spaces by landscaping, berms, barriers, grade separation or other means to
protect pedestrians from vehicular traffic. Lighting may be required.
2) Access and walkways shall be a minimum of 60 inches of unobstructed width
and meet the surfacing standards of the Port Orchard road standards for walkways or
sidewalks.
3) Access shall be usable by mobility -impaired persons and shall be designed
and constructed to be easily located by the sight -impaired pedestrian by grade change,
texture or other equivalent means.
4) A crosswalk shall be required when a walkway crosses a driveway or a
paved area accessible to vehicles.
5) Wherever walkways are provided, raised crosswalks or speed bumps may be
located at all points where a walkway crosses the lane of vehicle travel.
Section 10: Off-street parking plan design standards
a: The most distant parking space shall not be located more than 500 feet away from
the nearest building entrance it is required to serve. Where the off-street parking areas
do not abut the buildings they serve, the required maximum distance shall be measured
from the nearest building entrance that the parking area serves:
1) For all nonresidential uses permitted in residential zones, the parking spaces
shall be located on the same lot they are required to serve and at least a portion of
parking areas shall be located within 150 feet from the nearest building entrance they
are required to serve.
2) For all uses permitted within downtown Mixed use district (Mxd), the
parking spaces may be located on consolidated off -site parking lots distributed at
accessible locations about the downtown district.
b: Minimum parking space and aisle dimensions shall be determined by the City
Engineer. Regardless of the parking angle, one-way aisles shall be at least 10 feet
wide, and two-way aisles shall be at least 20 feet wide. Parking plans for angle parking
shall use space widths no less than 8 feet 6 inches for a standard parking space design
and 8 feet for a compact car parking space design.
c: Any parking spaces abutting a landscaped area on the driver or passenger side of the
vehicle shall provide an additional 18 inches above the minimum space width
requirement to provide a place to step other than in the landscaped area. The additional
width shall be separated from the adjacent parking space by a parking space division
165
1
stripe. The parking space depth may be reduced when vehicles overhang a walkway
under the following conditions:
1) Wheelstops or curbs are installed.
2) The remaining walkway provides a minimum of 60 inches of unimpeded
passageway for pedestrians.
d: The amount of space depth reduction is limited to a maximum of 18 inches.
e: Ingress and egress between off-street parking areas and abutting streets shall be
designed, located, and constructed in accordance with Port Orchard street standards.
f: Lighting of off-street parking areas shall be provided for safety of traffic and
pedestrian circulation on the site, as specified in the Uniform Building Code. Lighting
shall be designed to minimize direct illumination of abutting properties and adjacent
streets. The City Engineer shall have the authority to waive the requirement to provide
lighting.
g: Tandem or end -to -end parking is allowed in single family detached residential
developments. Driveways crossing required setback areas may be used for parking
when serving single family detached dwellings but shall not be considered for purposes
of calculating required parking. Attached single family and multifamily developments
may have tandem parking areas for each dwelling unit but shall not combine parking
for separate dwelling units in tandem parking areas.
h: All required vehicle parking for single family detached dwellings must be on an
approved surface.
Section 11: Off-street parking construction standards
Off-street parking areas shall have all-weather surfacing which includes a compacted
rock surface.
Section 12: Compact car allowance requirements
Subject to City Engineer review and approval, up to 40 percent of the total number of
spaces to be provided in any development may be sized to accommodate compact cars.
Aisle widths shall conform to the standards set for standard size cars.
Section 13: Internal circulation road standards
Internal access roads to off-street parking areas shall conform with or exceed the
surfacing and design requirements for private roads set in the Port Orchard road
standards.

Section 1: Purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to preserve the aesthetic character of the community,
improve the aesthetic quality of the built environment, promote retention and protection
of existing native vegetation, reduce the impacts of development on storm drainage
systems and natural habitats, and increase privacy for residential zones by:
a: Providing visual relief from large expanses of parking areas and reducing perceived
building scales.
b: Providing physical separation between residential and nonresidential areas.
c: Providing visual screens and barriers as a transition between differing land uses.
167
d: Retaining existing vegetation and significant trees by incorporating them into the site
design.
e: Using native and drought -tolerant plant materials.
f: Provide areas of permeable surface to allow for:
1) infiltration of surface water into groundwater resources,
2) reduction in the quantity of stormwater discharge, and
3) improvement in the quality of stormwater discharge.
Section 2: Application

and around roadways and parking lots in the Commercial (Co), Mixed use (Mxd),
Employment (Eo), and Community facilities (Cf) zones.
2) As shown in the graphics, the setback from the street right-of-way shall be
landscaped to provide "see -through vegetation" that functions as a partial visual
separator to soften the appearance of parking areas and building elevations.
b: Residential street corridors
1) These corridors are the public right-of-ways and the setbacks required within
and around collector and arterial roadways and parking lots in all Residential zones
(Rmh-R20) .
2) As shown in the graphics, these zones shall be landscaped to provide a
"filtered screen vegetation" that functions as a visual separator between the street,
parking areas, and residential activities.
c: Parkway road corridors
1) These corridors are the public right-of-ways and the setbacks required along
major roadway entries into the community as defined on comprehensive plan maps.
2) As shown in the graphics, these parkway road corridors shall be landscaped
to provide a "filtered to view blocking vegetation" using natural materials that provide
continuity with adjacent greenway landscapes.
Section 6: Urban buffers
Urban buffers shall be landscaped based on the extent to which the activity is to be
screened from adjacent uses in accordance with the following categories:
a: Urban parking lots
1) Urban parking lots are areas commonly shared by residential developments,
and all parking areas and lots provided for employees, customers, and other public
users within the Commercial (Co), Mixed use (Mxd), Employment (Eo), and
Community facility (Cf) zones.

a: New landscaping materials shall include native or ornamental species that have
adapted to the climatic conditions of the coastal region of the Pacific Northwest.
Required minimums are indicated in the accompanying table on landscape design
requirements.
b: New landscape materials shall include drought -tolerant species, except where site
conditions within the required landscape areas assure adequate moisture for growth.
c: Existing vegetation may be used to augment new plantings to meet the standards of
this chapter.
d: Trees shall have a caliper of the dimensions shown in the landscape table measured 4
feet above ground level at the time of planting. The caliper may be averaged, but no
individual tree shall have a caliper of less than 75 percent of the requirement.
e: When the width of any landscape strip is 20 feet or greater, the required trees shall
be staggered in 2 or more rows.
f: Shrubs shall be at least 1 gallon in size and of the minimum inches in height at the
time of planting shown in the landscape table.
g: Groundcovers shall be planted and spaced to result in total coverage of the required

The following alternative landscape options may be allowed only if they accomplish
equal or better levels of screening and are subject to the review and approval of the
City Engineer:
a: Total required landscape and tree retention area will not exceed 15 percent of site
area.
b: The width of the perimeter buffer landscape strip may be reduced up to 25 percent
along any portion where:
1) berms at least 3 feet in height or architectural barriers at least 6 feet in height
are incorporated into the landscape design, or
2) the landscape materials are incorporated elsewhere on -site.
c: Perimeter landscaping may be reduced up to 25 percent when a development retains
an additional 10 percent of the existing significant trees or 10 significant trees per acre
on -site (above the requirements for tree retention defined within this chapter),
whichever is greater.
d: The landscaping requirement may be modified when existing conditions on or
adjacent to the site, such as significant topographic differences, vegetation, structures
or utilities would render application of this chapter ineffective or result in scenic view
obstruction.
1F:11!
i
e: Within the Mixed use district (Mxd) areas subject to a requirement for an urban
streetscape/pedestrian boardwalk design, roadway corridor buffering is waived
provided the applicant complies with the requirements for street trees, pedestrian
pavings, furnishings, and other amenities.
f: When an existing structure precludes installation of the total amount of required site
perimeter landscaping, such landscaping material shall be incorporated on another
portion of the site.
g: Creative designs using groupings of trees may be utilized.
Section 13: Irri ag tion
a: Except for areas of undisturbed existing vegetation or low areas with existing high
soil moisture conditions, landscape areas shall have temporary irrigation systems. Such
systems may be removed after 24 months or 2 growing seasons, whichever occurs first,
provided that the plantings are established.
b: Areas of undisturbed existing vegetation, or areas where existing site conditions
assure adequate soil moisture for growth within the required landscape area, shall have
temporary irrigation systems only as required to sustain new plantings and shall be
determined on a case -by -case basis by the City Engineer.
c: Areas of undisturbed existing vegetation, low areas with existing high soil moisture
conditions, or landscape areas consisting of drought -tolerant vegetation may not require
permanent irrigation systems. Permanent irrigation systems may be permitted within all
other required landscape areas, provided such systems shall be designed with:
1) moisture or precipitation sensors,
2) automatic timers set for operation during periods of minimum evaporation
and that assure adequate moisture levels,
3) head -to -head spacing, if sprinkler heads are proposed,
4) backflow prevention devices, and
5) separate irrigation zones for a) turf and planting beds, and b) other
nondrought-tolerant species.
Section 14: Landscape installation
a: Landscaping shall be installed no later than 5 months after issuance of a temporary
certificate of occupancy for the project or project phase.
b: The time limit for compliance may be extended to allow landscape installation
during the next appropriate planting season.
185
Section 15: Significant tree definition
For the purposes of this chapter, a significant tree:
a: Is any healthy, long-term tree with a DBH (diameter at breast height) of 10 inches or
greater with adequate live crown to maintain tree vigor and aesthetics.
b: Is located within any sensitive area or required sensitive area buffer.
c: Is identified as providing wildlife habitat for threatened or endangered species.
d: Is of historical or cultural significance as defined within the comprehensive plan.
Section 16: Significant tree retention
Significant trees should be retained in all zones as follows:
a: All significant trees located within any required buffer landscaping area should be
retained to the extent practical and feasible.
b: Tree retention adjacent to sensitive area buffers is desirable.
c: Utility developments including roadways may be exempt from the significant tree
retention requirements of this chapter.
d: If significant trees were previously located in a closed, forested situation, an
adequate buffer of smaller trees shall be retained or replaced on the fringe of such
significant trees.
e: A grouping of 3 or more existing healthy trees with canopies that touch or overlap,
may be substituted for each required significant tree, provided each tree has a diameter
of at least 3 inches when measured 4 feet above grade.
f: Except as provided in subsection "g" following, significant trees to be retained shall
not include significant trees that are:
1) damaged or diseased,
2) safety hazards due to potential root, trunk or primary limb failure, or
exposure of mature trees which have grown in a closed, forested situation.
g: At the discretion of the City Engineer, damaged or diseased or standing dead trees
may be retained and counted toward the significant tree requirement if demonstrated
that such a tree will provide important wildlife habitat and is not classified as a danger
tree.
10
Section 17: Significant tree retention plan
The applicant shall submit a tree retention plan concurrent with a grading permit,
building permit or preliminary subdivision or short subdivision application, whichever
is reviewed and approved first. The tree retention plan shall consist of:
a: A tree survey that identifies the location, size, and species of individual significant
trees or the perimeter of stands of trees on a site. For forested sites, the tree survey
may use a standard timber cruising method to reflect general locations, numbers, and
groupings of significant trees. For detailed site plans and grading applications, the tree
survey may be conducted by a method that locates individual significant trees near
edges of tree protection areas.
b: The tree retention plan identifying the significant trees that are proposed to be
retained should show the locations of tree protection fence that protects the critical root
zones of the trees.
Section V& Incentives for retaining significant trees
Each significant tree that is located outside of the area for perimeter buffer landscaping
and is retained may be credited in a ratio up to 2 trees for complying with the retention
requirements of this chapter.
Section 19: Protecting significant trees
To provide the best protection for significant trees:
a: No clearing shall be allowed on a site until approval of tree retention and landscape
plans.
b: The root protection zone is equal to 1' radius for every 1" of tree DBH unless
individual tree evaluation by a certified arborist recommends modification to the
guidelines. It shall be identified prior to construction with a temporary 5 foot high
chainlink or orange mesh fence.
c: No impervious surfaces, fill, excavation, or storage of construction materials shall
be permitted within the root protection zone.
d: Alternative protection methods may be used if determined by the City Engineer to
provide equal or greater tree protection.
Section 20: Replacement of significant trees
When the required number of significant trees cannot be retained, significant trees that
are removed shall be replaced with:
a: New trees measuring 2.5 inch caliper, at a replacement rate of 3 trees for each
It -It
significant tree removed.
b: If the site does not allow for planting all replacement trees, trees can be planted on
another site approved by the City Engineer.
Section 21: Maintenance
a: All landscape materials and significant trees, except within sensitive areas or buffers,
shall be maintained in a healthy growing condition.
b: With the exception of dead, diseased or damaged trees specifically retained to
provide wildlife habitat; other dead, diseased, damaged or stolen plantings shall be
replaced on a 1 for 1 basis within 5 months or during the next planting season if the
loss does not occur in a planting season.
c: Landscape areas shall be kept free of trash.
Section 22:_Bonds and security
Performance bonds or other appropriate security (including letters of credit and setaside
letters) equal to 125 % of the estimated value of the plants and installation costs shall be
required for a period of 2 years after the planting or transplanting of vegetation to
insure proper installation, establishment, and maintenance.

Numerical List of Short Titles
The official SIC titles of the divisions and the two -digit major groups, three -
digit industry groups, and four -digit industries are those shown in Part I. For vari-
ous reasons, including presentation of statistical tables, it is desirable to have a
standard 'list of short SIC titles so that all agencies may use the same short titles
for the same codes as long as the titles fit the space requirements of the publica-
tion.
The standard short titles below have been limited to 36 spaces for four -digit in-
dustry codes and 38 spaces for two -digit major group and three -digit industry group
codes. Where a two -digit major group or three -digit industry group contains only a
single four -digit industry, the two -digit or three -digit titles are allowed 36 rather
than 38 spaces. If the official SIC title falls within the short title space limitation
above, it is generally used without change.
It is understood, of course; that just as a title itself is not sufficient to define an
industry, so too a short title may not appear to represent the same content as the
official title. Content can only be defined by reference to the official titles and de-
scriptions for the relevant division, major group, industry group, and industry.
