Per RCW 36.70A.360, a new master planned resort means a self-contained and fully integrated
development with primary focus on resort destination facilities that includes short-term visitor
accommodations associated with a range of indoor and outdoor recreational facilities within the
property boundaries in a setting of significant natural amenities. A resort may include other
residential uses, but only if the residential uses are integrated into and support the on-site
recreational nature of the resort.
(1) Port Ludlow. Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort (MPR). The first=ems existing
officially designated master planned resort in the-eountyJefferson County is the Port
Ludlow MPR, which is designated in accordance with RCW 36.70A.362 as an existing
master planned resort and is subject to the provisions of JCC Title 17. The master
planned resort of Port Ludlow is characterized by both single-family and multifamily
residential units with attendant recreational facilities including a marina, resort and
convention center. The master planned resort of Port Ludlow also includes a large
residential community. The entire resort is served by a village commercial center, which
accommodates uses limited to serving the resort and local population. The master
planned resort's internal regulations and planning restrictions such as codes, covenants
and restrictions may be more restrictive than the requirements in JCC Title 17. However,
Jefferson County does not enforce private codes, covenants and restrictions.
(2) Pleasant Harbor MPR. Pleasant Harbor MPR is the second officially designated master
planned resort in Jefferson County. The Pleasant Harbor MPR is designated in
accordance with RCW 36.70A.360 as a new master planned resort and is subject to the
provisions of JCC Title 17. The Pleasant Harbor MPR is characterized by resort and
recreation facilities and amenities south of Black Point Road and a marina/Maritime
Village and associated housing north of Black Point Road. The resort is predominately
designed to serve resort and recreation uses and has only limited full-time occupancy.
The resort is served by the Brinnon Rural Center, which accommodates LAMIRD-scale
commercial uses serving the resort and local population. The master planned resort's
internal regulations and planning restrictions such as codes, covenants and restrictions
may be more restrictive than the requirements in JCC Title 17. However, Jefferson
County does not enforce private codes, covenants and restrictions.
