On June 22,2020,the BoCC approved a Public Hearing Notice to hold a public hearing on the
Conservation Futures Program project applications received in 2020 on July 13,2020 at 10:30 AM. The
notice was published in the Port Townsend&Jefferson County Leader on June 24,2020. The
Conservation Futures Program(JCC 3.08)requires a duly noticed public hearing to be held as part of the
public process of allocating conservation futures funding to worthy projects that protect public open
spaces.After the hearing,the BoCC may decide which project(s)to fund by passing resolution(s)to
include a factual finding as to whether each project would reduce the county's capacity to accommodate
growth.
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS:
The eight applications for Conservation Futures Funds in 2020 are:
1.Arlandia, $60,000 towards the acquisition of a conservation easement on three parcels of rural

This briefing packet contains:
• Eight conservation futures project applications and the relevant sponsor information
• Map of conservation futures projects 2003-2019
• Memo on the five acquisition projects from Joel Peterson,Department of Community
Development
• Draft resolutions consistent with the recommendations of the CF Citizen Oversight
Committee
• 2018 Ruby Ranch Preservation and 2019 Quilcene Headwaters to Bay Preservation
signed resolutions
The purpose of the CF Program is to address the"general and increasing need to provide a system of
public open spaces...for the health,welfare,benefit and safety of the residents of Jefferson County,"and
to maintain"Jefferson County as a desirable place to live,visit and locate businesses."Conservation
futures tax levy collections,authorized under RCW 84.34.230 are an important means of retaining
community character and accomplishing open space policies and objectives of the Jefferson County
Comprehensive Plan. The goal of the program is to preserve and protect the county's open space
resources from development,and from being"negatively and permanently affected."
On January 3,2006,the BOCC approved Ordinance No. 01-0103-06 in response to Chapter 449 of that
year which allowed up to 15%of the conservation future levy monies raised in the preceding year to be
used for operations and maintenance needs. Fifteen percent of the revenue collected in 2019($271,860)is
$40,779.However,the CF Committee has not recommended the award of any operations and
maintenance funding this year.Chapter 449 also states that local governments must consider and develop
findings on whether or not new CF projects would reduce the County's capacity to accommodate planned
growth.

TO: Tami Pokorny, Jefferson County Water Quality and Environmental Health
FROM: Joel Peterson, Associate Planner
DATE: June 12, 2020
RE: 2020 Jefferson County Conservation Futures Program Property Acquisition
and/or Operations and Maintenance Project Applications:
Summary of DCD Findings for 2020 Conservation Futures Program:
Project Name Project Type
1. Arlandia Easement
2. Hannah Farm Easement
3. Quilcene Headwaters to Bay Preservation Easement
4. Ruby Ranch Preservation Easement
5. Upper Tarboo Creek Wetlands Acquisition Warranty Deed & Easement
& Restoration
The Department of Community Development (DCD) reviewed the proposed 2020 Jefferson
County Conservation Futures Program Property Acquisition and/or Operations and Maintenance
Projects and provides the following findings.
When a local government chooses to use Conservation Futures Fund money to purchase an
interest in land, it must consider and analyze whether taking land out of the 'pool' of land that
can be developed leaves enough land subject to development to accommodate allocated
housing and employment growth (RCW 84.34.240). From our analysis, we provide two findings
to support this requirement and additional findings from the Jefferson County Comprehensive
Plan.
Methods:
Housing Analysis: DCD reviews the estimated number of potential dwelling units that may be
forgone by the Conservation Futures actions and the effect this may have on the County's ability
to accommodate our projected 20-year population growth (2018-2038); and how the actions
may affect the County's ability to provide employment growth in the same 20-year planning
period. Note that any determination made in this exercise is only an estimate based on zoning
and a map review of possible site conditions.
Employment Growth Analysis: Impacts on Jefferson County's ability to provide for anticipated
employment growth, resulting from the Conservation Futures program actions, were reviewed
by observing current employment conditions in the vicinity of the project parcels, the prevalent
employment sector in the area, and consideration of any other potential effects resulting from
conservation action that may limit or enhance the County's ability to provide for economic
development or jobs.
Findings:
1. Housing. The proposed acquisitions and easements of the 2020 Conservation Futures
program would extinguish development rights or purchase land for conservation
purposes which could preclude the opportunity for approximately 33 theoretical single-
family dwelling units and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) total. Many of the theoretical
residences would be located in wetlands or geologically hazardous areas and would
require special permitting processes to achieve. Jefferson County has a documented
surplus of vacant and underdeveloped parcels which can accommodate the land needs
of the projected population during the 20-year planning period (2018-2038
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element). The proposed conservation actions do not
reduce the County's capacity to accommodate future planned growth.
2. Employment Growth. No commercial areas are included in the protected properties.
None of the properties are within or near a rural commercial area or urban growth area.
Employment or business development that could be forgone by loss of residential
dwelling units may include home business or cottage industry opportunities. There has
been no identified reduction in rural employment due to any shortage of residential
parcels that could support home business or cottage industry. Employment in the
project areas would likely consist of agriculture, home businesses, cottage industries or
in the natural resources sectors.
Limited loss of timber harvest on residential parcels would not make up a significant loss
of commercial forestry in Jefferson County. Natural resource conservation has been
identified as playing a role in economic development, contributing to a draw of economic
development interests to the area due to the quality of life and healthy environment.
Additional Findings from the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan:
3. The action is consistent with the goals and policies of the Jefferson County
Comprehensive Plan for the preservation and enhancement of open space. The
Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan identifies goals and policies for the preservation
and enhancement of open space as follows:
• Policy LU-P-15.2 Protect open space consistent with the goals and policies of this
plan and in cooperation with County Conservation Futures and other land
conservation programs.
• Open Space Goal OS-G-1 guides Jefferson County to "Preserve and improve the
quality, value and extent of open space lands." Open Space Policy OS-P-1.4
"Identify and conserve critical wildlife habitat, including nesting sites, foraging areas,
and migration corridors within or adjacent to natural areas, open spaces, and
developed urban areas. Preserve especially sensitive habitat sites that support
threatened species and wildlife habitat in developed areas."
• Natural Resources Goal NR-G-1 guides Jefferson County to "Encourage the
conservation and long-term sustainable use of resource lands so their continued
future use will not be precluded by other uses; and encourage the long-term
sustainability of natural resource-based economic activities through Jefferson County.
2
• Economic Development Goal ED-G-6 guides Jefferson County to "Encourage
economic development that sustains natural resources and open spaces, protects
environmental quality, encourages non-motorized recreation and transportation, and
enhances Jefferson County's overall quality of life."
4. None of the proposals include property in an Urban Growth Area or Rural Commercial
area.
