SECTION 3,80 DEVELOPMENT CAP
3.801 Development Cap and MERUs :
1. The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan provides that within the MPR boundary total
residential dwelling units shall not exceed 2,250. In order to implement this
development cap and allow flexibility within the limits established by the 1993 FEIS, a
measurement and transfer system based on the number of actual residential lots, actual
dwelling units, and equivalent residential units for commercial development has been
established.
Equivalent residential units are measurable and transferable between residential and
commercial uses. This ordinance uses the tenu "MERU" or "Measurement ERU" to
distinguish the meaning and use of the term "equivalent residential unit" in this code
from its more common application to water and sewer utility issues. In this code, MERU
and Measurement ERU are defined as set forth in section 3.803. The tenus define the
measurement and transfer mechanism for future development within the MPR
boundaries.
Within the boundaries of the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort, total development
shall be capped at 2575 Measurement ERUs (MERUs) , Actual residential dwelling
units shall not exceed 2,250.
2.
3.
3,802 MERU Record: The Department of Community Development shall maintain a
count of MERU s and of residential dwelling units. A system shall be established no later than
60 days from the effective date ofthis ordinance that provides an up-to-date count of available
MERUs. This system shall maintain a current count, shall be available to the general public for
inspection during regular business hours, and shall be updated as needed to reflect current usage
and allocations of MER Us. Allocations of MER Us shall be detenuined according to the
provisions of section 3.803. The Department shall maintain records ofERU and MERU
allocations and shall maintain a matrix showing allocation of residential and commercial
MERUs.

MERU Allocation and Assignment: MERU s shall be allocated and assigned as follows:
Each MERU shall be assumed to generate 200 gallons per day (gpd) of sewer wastewater
flow,
Each single family dwelling unit or recorded, platted lot shall count as one MERU.
Each multi-family dwelling unit shall count as one MERU,
Assisted living, congregate care, and similar facilities shall be assigned an MERU
amount based on the number of bedrooms, beds, and type of care or assistance provided.
Reference shall be made to State Department of Ecology sewer design standards for
single family and multiple family dwellings, nursing homes, and homes for the aged.
Ecology design standards shall be those in place at the time of application for assisted

living, congregate care or similar uses.
Commercial development shall be assigned an MERU amount based on State Department
of Ecology design standards, as of the effective date of this ordinance.
If a use is proposed that is not called out in this section or is not assigned a flow rate by
the State Department of Ecology, the required gallons per day for a use (and its MERU
allocation) may be assigned based on measurements of actual use or other comparative
process as approved by the Department of Community Development.
Residential lots approved by a preliminary subdivision or preliminary short subdivision
shall be allocated MERUs based on the preliminary subdivision (preliminary plat or
preliminary short plat) approval. If the preliminary plat or preliminary short plat expires
or is withdrawn before being final ed, the MERU allocation shall revert to unallocated
status.
If a recorded subdivision is vacated or if platted lots are consolidated through a boundary
line adjustment or otherwise in a manner that precludes development of one or more
residential uses, unusable MERUs shall revert to unallocated status.

3.804 Initial Allocation of Commercial MERUs: Of the total 2575 MERUs allowed within
the MPR, 325 are initially allocated to commercial development. Fifty-five new MERUs are
reserved for the Village Commercial Center. Three new MERUs are reserved for additional
resort commercial development, and 41 are reserved for future expansion of the golf course pro
shop and golf support facilities. All other commercial MERUs (226) are initially allocated to
existing development.
3,805 Initial Allocation of Residential MERUs: Of the total 2575 MERUs allowed within
the MPR boundaries, 2250 are initially allocated to residential development. Existing (built)
residential development accounts for 1064 residential MERUs, platted but undeveloped lots total
727, and lots with preliminary plat approval account for an additional 326. As ofthe effective
date of this ordinance, a total of 133 MERUs remain available (subject to final verification
pursuant to section 3.802) for additional residential development or may be transferred to
support commercial development as set forth in section 3.806.
3,806 MERU Transfer: MERUs initially allocated for residential development may be
transferred to support commercial development. Commercial MERUs may support either
commercial or residential development, provided that commercial MERUs shall not be
transferred to support residential development exceeding the cap of 2,250 dwelling units.
3,807 MERU Allocation Not Property Specific~ Limitations: MERUs are not assigned to
specific properties, with the following limitations:
1. Developed properties, platted properties, properties with approved preliminary plats, and
properties with issued or vested building permits shall have, maintain and carry forward

Section 3,902 Permit Process for Resort Development:
1. A project level Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) analyzing the
resort plan is required prior to issuance of building permits for any new resort
development. Environmental review of the Resort Plan shall not be piecemealed or
broken into small segments. The applicant may choose to develop a new Environmental
Impact Statement rather than a Supplement.
Notice of application for environmental review of the Resort Plan shall be provided to all
persons on the Port Ludlow MPR Roster established by the Department pursuant to
section 1.60, as well as to any other persons or agencies entitled to notice pursuant to the
County's Procedures Ordinance.
Actual building permit plans or construction drawings are not required during the SEIS
process. Architectural drawings including a detailed site plan, and architectural sketches
or drawings showing approximate elevations, sections, and floor plans are required,
however, to ensure that the SEIS considers project-level details.
The Department of Community Development may impose mitigating conditions or issue
a denial of some or all of the Resort Plan based on the environmental review and using
authority provided pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act, RCW 43.21C. A

report detailing any such conditions or denials shall be issued within 30 days of issuance
of the Final SEIS, and prior to issuance of any Resort Plan building permits. This report
and the conditions, approvals or denials contained therein shall be treated as an
administrative decision of the Department under the County's Procedures Ordinance
(Type A decision) and shall be appealable to the county hearing examiner.
Following completion ofthe SEIS and the Department report on the Resort Plan,
building permits may be issued, following appropriate plan review, for projects analyzed
in the SEIS. Ifthe Department report is appealed, no permits shall be issued until the
administrative appeal is resolved.
Actual resort development may be undertaken in phases, but only following completion
of review and approval of a full resort buildout plan through the SEIS process. A
phasing schedule may be proposed as part of the environmental review or may be
developed at a later date..
In conjunction with the environmental review process, the Department shall calculate the
total MERUs needed to support the Resort Plan. This calculation shall also establish the
Net New MERUs needed for resort development. These Net New MER Us shall be
transferred from those initially allocated pursuant to section 3.805 to new residential
development on the resort property, and shall be removed from the count of available
MERUs for as long as the resort use or its development rights exist.
