campground and RV park on the Black Point peninsula, generally surrounded by single-family residential

on the south side that drops to a beach along Hood Canal, near the Brinnon community in unincorporated

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Preliminary plat application to develop the Pleasant Harbor Master
Planned Resort (PHMPR). PHMPR was approved by Ordinance No. 01-0128-08 on January 28, 2008,

56,608 square feet of commercial space; a recreation/community center with indoor swimming pools,
hockey rink, soccer field, go-cart track, racket sports, health spa, restaurants, and pub; a farmer’s market;
a conference center; a nine-hole golf course; and other site amenities. Facilities to serve the development
will be provided, including an on-site wastewater treatment system, a community water system,
stormwater management, and internal roads and pedestrian pathways. The preliminary plat will create 150
residential lots for various detached and attached dwelling units for both temporary and permanent
occupancy and 29 tracts for residential and commercial buildings, golf course fairways, private roads and
utilities, open space, storm drainage, and park-and-ride. No construction is authorized as part of the
preliminary plat application.
