Jefferson County, as the lead agency under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), has issued a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) in accordance with SEPA regulations (Chapter 197- 11-340 WAC) for the proposal. APPLICANT: Island 3 Investments LLC 123 Ponderosa Place Nordland WA, 98358 SITE ADDRESS AND PROJECT LOCATION: The subject property is located east of D Street, approximately 450 feet north of the intersection between D Street and Ness’ Corner Rd in Port Hadlock, Washington, 98339, being within Section 2, Township 29, Range 1 West, Jefferson County. The parcel is approximately 9.39 acres in size and is referenced by Assessor’s Tax Parcel Number 901024089. The property is zoned as Urban Commercial. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Island 3 Investments LLC is seeking to develop the above property into an RV park with 90 spaces and onsite laundry services over the course of two phases. Per JCC 18.18.040, Table 3A-1, an RV park falls under the category of unnamed commercial use, which is subject to discretionary land use approval. Jefferson County Department of Community Development (DCD) has determined that a Type III zoning conditional use permit will be required. A zoning conditional use permit is required that meets the approval criteria in JCC 18.40.530, along with the performance standards and development standards JCC 18.18, 18.20, and 18.30. Additionally, to permit the division of the land into individual spaces for rental, a Type III Binding Site Plan Permit is required that meets the approval criteria found in Article V of JCC 18.35. JCC 18.40.030(2) allows DCD to consolidate the land use permitting process for individual proposals. Therefore, all zoning and land subdivision permitting requirements for the above permits will be reviewed under SUB2025-00023. This project requires a public notice and comment period and a public hearing in front of a hearing examiner. STUDIES AND PERMITS REQUIRED: A traffic memorandum is required by Jefferson County DCD and a traffic impact analysis may be required based on the results of the memo. Jefferson County will require the following county permits: a stormwater management permit, a sewer connection permit, building permits for community and office buildings, and a Road Approach permit for access off of D street. Additionally, any access off of State Route 116 will require an Access Connection permit from Washington State Department of Transportation.
