DCD will soon hire for a part-time receptionist. Elizabeth Williams will assume Plan Clerk duties to help staff focus on permit review. COMMISSIONER ANNOUNCEMENTSCynthia Koan: Attended a work group with commissioners. DISCUSSION Proposed Agricultural/Recreational Marijuana Regulations Staff presented proposed regulations for recreational marijuana as three different distinct uses: producing, processing, and retail. Patricia Farmer: Motion to adopt the optional increases. Motion failed. OBSERVER COMMENT Kyle Craig: Doesn’t production automatically allow for bagging and trimming? The LCB has a distinction between bagging, trimming, and drying. Colleen Zmolek, planner: We took into account the comments from applicants at the last meeting. In Agricultural production we wanted to clarify that bagging, trimming and drying would not be considered processing. Kyle Craig: We have roughly 30 businesses that want to create a legal industry. Instead we are treated as a nuisance. Tim Wilkins: Kitsap County increased the requirement for a building permit for a fence to 8 feet and issue their fence permits over the counter. Carl Smith, DCD director: We have adopted the IBC, which requires a permit for any fence taller than 7’. The engineering is required due to health and safety. Jean Ball: Doesn’t vesting for a fence permit take a month and a half? John Gunning: Representing Colinwood Farm. Urged the Planning Commissioners to consider marijuana grow operations be considered different from marijuana grow. The average farmer is making $5 to $8 an hour. Rick Doherty: Hopes commissioners read the Farm Survey and visit farms in the area. Would also prefer that marijuana be considered a different type of agriculture. Planning Commission Meeting 07/01/2015 Page 1 of 21 621 Sheridan St. Port Townsend WA 98368 P: 360-379-4450 F: 360-379-4451 plancomm@co.jefferson.wa.us Jefferson County Planning Commission MEETING MINUTES Tri-Area Community Center April 15, 2015 Page 2 of 2 Kyle Craig: In Jefferson County, 8 foot fences are required to have engineering that meets wind load. After inquiring with fence companies for engineered stamped plans, fence companies claim that it is impossible for a chain link fence to withstand 110 mph wind. David Goldman: What’s driving the discussion? The building size limitations are small. Jean Ball: 110 mile gusts is a hurricane. When have we ever had a hurricane? DISCUSSION Proposed Agricultural/Recreational Marijuana Regulations PC members discussed whether “hoop” structures over plants would be considered a “temporary structure”. They chose not the address “hoop” structures within the regulations. Matt Sircely: Motion to remove temporary structures from proposed regulations. Motion failed. General consensus for staff to propose code limits for both permanent and temporary structures up to 10% of parcel size. Next Planning Commission meeting scheduled for 05/06/2015 at 6:30 pm at the Tri-Area Community Center.

STAFF UPDATES Carl Smith: Announced the BOCC would be holding a special meeting 05/21 to discuss the outcome of tonight’s hearing. COMMISSIONER ANNOUNCEMENTS None PUBLIC HEARING UDC Text Amendment regarding agriculture, including recreational marijuana: Staff presented proposed regulations for producing, processing, and retail sales for recreational marijuana. PUBLIC TESTIMONY Peter Geerlofs: Enjoys dark skies and has concerns regarding security cameras, outdoor lighting, and fertilizers. Kyle Craig: Addressed Mr. Geerlof’s concerns regarding outdoor lighting. Stated that 12 consecutive hours of darkness are essential for plant growth. Opposed to the proposed Conditional Use Permits required in certain zones. Accessory uses listed in the Jefferson County Code. DCD is corresponding with LCB objecting to my proposed operation Karen Page: Would prefer more stringent rules, but urges the Planning Commission to adopt the proposed code amendment. Robin Fitch: Concerns for water usage on Marrowstone Island. Roger Short: No clue what’s happening. Jacob Johnsen: Family has farmed shellfish for 100 years. Has concerns for water runoff. Tribes have concerns that proposed regulations have not been brought to their attention. Vicky Costakis: Voted for I-502 with the assumption that the County would protect property owners. Roger Hall: The proposed regulations are beyond repressive. Commissioner Sullivan asked that the regulations be fair. Opposes the proposed regulations. Jean Ball: Proposed regulations mirror fear, not reality. Check the LCB’s regulations regarding water usage. Disagrees with the description that marijuana is considered “profoundly different” as listed in the proposed Findings of Fact. Opposes the proposed regulations. Tim Wilkins: Permits for 8’ fences in Jefferson County are impossible to obtain. Kitsap County is more accommodating. Jefferson County is the only county that requires a fence to withstand 110 mph winds and to submit a stormwater worksheet. Would prefer a “yes” use rather than the proposed Conditional Use permit. Planning Commission Meeting 07/01/2015 Page 3 of 21 621 Sheridan St. Port Townsend WA 98368 P: 360-379-4450 F: 360-379-4451 plancomm@co.jefferson.wa.us Jefferson County Planning Commission HEARING MINUTES Tri-Area Community Center May 20, 2015 Page 2 of 3 Linda Gately: No comment. Chris Chase: Jefferson County resident for 30 years. Concerns for recreational marijuana operations in rural residential zones. The setbacks proposed are inadequate. Would prefer the proposed 5% of lot coverage in residential zones reduced to 2%. Keith Apgar: Recommends a setback of 50’ versus the proposed 25’. Concerns for cameras videotaping children/private lives of residents. Dianna Wiklund: Commercial grow operations do not belong in rural residential areas, especially if it would require stringent surveillance. Elsa Wiklund: Objects to the grow operations in rural residential areas. Concerns regarding adjacent wetlands. Glenn Woodbury: Who is the administrator that has “discretionary” authority? Richard Hull, PC vice-chair: That is a matter to be discussed at another time. Todd Oestreich: Primary concern is water. Agrees with Peter Geerlofs regarding bright lights hindering dark skies. Who will be regulating to proposed code? Colum Tinley: Proposed code seems discriminatory and complex for a simple issue such as marijuana. Opposed to proposed code. Janet Welch: Limit agriculture based on scale, not crop. Because the state regulates marijuana differently, it creates more impact, and therefore we must regulate differently as well. It’s better to know what the regulations are, instead of the discretionary process. Lisa Gilley: The crop is different and illegal in many other states. Voted in favor of I-502, but would like property owners to be protected. Access to the facilities should be directly from the road, not from easements. Jacob Johnsen: Explained an unfortunate circumstance recently with neighbor dogs that required veterinary assistance due to ingesting marijuana. What happens with the by-product from crops? Gary Johnson: Agrees with WSLCB’s setbacks for fences. Prefers no increase to setbacks. Someone from the audience tonight wondered who would be regulating the operation. Everyone will be regulating. Wayne Funk: The state requires that any by-product be ground up and mixed 50/50 with soil, and disposed of at a top-soil disposal site or dump. My dogs also became ill from neighbor’s apple composting. Kristen Oas: Would prefer a notification process for operations in rural residential areas. We also grow crops, but it’s not regulated with surveillance, lighting, and fences. Industrial areas are more compatible for monitoring and regulating these operations. Jean Ball: Clarified that infrared lights are used, not all-night lighting. Water usage is hard to come by without water rights. Public Testimony closed at 7:52 pm DELIBERATION Tom Brotherton: Disclosed his interest in a marijuana retail shop. Performance standards should be revised from “protective measures” to “restrictive measures” in general provisions and setbacks. Richard Hull, Cynthia Koan, Gary Felder, Patricia Farmer, Lorna Smith were in favor of retaining the above- referenced text. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Richard Hill read aloud the required findings and conclusions. Planning Commission Meeting 07/01/2015 Page 4 of 21 621 Sheridan St. Port Townsend WA 98368 P: 360-379-4450 F: 360-379-4451 plancomm@co.jefferson.wa.us Jefferson County Planning Commission HEARING MINUTES Tri-Area Community Center May 20, 2015 Page 3 of 3 Tom Brotherton suggested the removal of #12 of the revised Findings of Fact: ‘Its illegality under federal law may cause those locations where recreational marijuana is produced (grown) or processed to be an “attractive nuisance” for criminals, vandals and minors, said “attractive nuisance” status being contrary to the quiet and pastoral rural nature of much of unincorporated Jefferson County.’ Richard Hull, Cynthia Koan, Gary Felder, Patricia Farmer, Lorna Smith were in favor of retaining the above- referenced text. After unanimously voting to approve the findings and conclusions per JCC 18.45, Patricia Farmer moved that the UDC text amendment be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners with suggested changes regarding use of “restrictive measures” instead of “protective measures” 6 in favor. 0 opposed. 0 abstained.

COMMISSIONER ANNOUNCEMENTS None COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Food Resiliency: David Johnson is ill and unable to attend tonight’s meeting. Discussion included:  Addressing enforcement mechanisms  Potentially adding two additional chapters for Health and Food Sustainability to the Comprehensive Plan  Persistent contaminants in composting Housing: The proposed changes to the Housing Element presented by Anna Bausher, Assistant Planner, included:  Updating the 1990 census information by replacement with 2010 census data  Definition of affordable housing added  Jefferson County Housing Authority to be updated with Peninsula Housing Authority  New paragraph on the Housing Action Plan Network and the Housing Action Plan added  A new goal (5.0) and supporting policies were added to support the goals of the Housing Action Plan Suggestions from Planning Commission members included:  Lowering the minimum lot size requirement per residence  Conducting a workshop with a Health Dept. representative  Discuss affordable housing obstacles, such as regulations regarding “tiny homes” and composting toilets  Collaborate with other organizations such as, Collective Impacts and Jefferson Land Trust, to focus on strategies Critical Areas Ordinance: An update to the Critical Areas Ordinance is necessary in order to adhere to state law which requires us to address agriculture in Critical Areas. From 2007 until 2012, local jurisdictions by state law did not have the ability to apply critical area regulations to agriculture, which includes land zoned as agriculture or enrolled in the Open Space tax program. Suggestions from Planning Commission members included:  Request the County Administrator to budget for consultant to conduct a study Lorna Smith moved that the Planning Commission endorse a letter to encourage the funding of an independent consultant to conduct a study of our critical areas. Cynthia Koan seconded.

(note: this workplan is subject to regular updating and revision). Proposed timeline Staff proposes to take nearly the full two year extension. Under this extension, our updated comp plan will be due to Dept. of Commerce by June 30, 2018. However, due to the County’s amendment cycle, the comp plan would be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for adoption in December of 2017, and the adopted plan submitted to Dept. of Commerce in January of 2018. Proposed Process At each regular Planning Commission meeting, staff will present drafts of information that is ready for review. These will include mandatory updates and others for consideration. In addition, the Planning Commission could begin reviewing one chapter at each meeting to discuss and identify any desired updates. Staff suggest you read Chapters one and two of the comp plan and be prepared to discuss it at the meetings (note: please remember that DCD’s capacity to deliver any such updates will be limited). At the Planning Commission meeting of June 3, 2015, Commissioner comments included the idea of identifying “themes” that are overarching values or topics that are considered throughout the comp plan. For the purpose of discussion, staff suggests themes could include concepts such as: rural character, environment, economy, health, sustainability, local food, climate change. Public Outreach Staff is very interested to have the best possible public outreach and involvement opportunities. To date, we have the public survey, a proposed schedule of community outreach meetings planned for 2016, and a webpage dedicated to the comp plan update at: http://www.co.jefferson.wa.us/commdevelopment/CP%20PeriodicUpdate%202011.htm Other ideas are welcome on how we can inform and engage the public during this periodic update process. Staff looks forward to discussing these topics with the Planning Commission at the meeting of July 1.
