LAND USE Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan 1–79 January 2021 Since GMA’s inception, the State of Washington Growth Management Hearings Board (Hearings Board) has interpreted the GMA and its rules to local jurisdictions’ comprehensive plans. Over the years, a body of law has developed, which appears to force counties to curtail innovation in rural area development, such as prescriptively establishing rural and urban densities and requiring tightlined LOBs in LAMIRDs. This imposes a difficult challenge when trying to meet affordable housing needs outside of designated urban growth areas. Some LAMIRDs, such as Chimacum, do not fit neatly within this urban rural dichotomy. This provides only two boxes, urban or rural for solutions to complex land use issues. Solutions may require more in-between areas to meet requirements, such as a greater focus on performance standards for some housing developments over a prescriptive residential density. Innovations to meet current housing crises is limited by GMA. If a county allows bonus densities in a rural cluster the resulting density after applying the bonus must be a rural density, which doesn’t yield enough bonus density to enable the types of housing developments that can meet the challenges of providing density for affordable housing, even within a rural context. Jefferson County proposes to investigate provisions for planned residential developments and investigate the feasibility of alternative performance standards that could potentially increase rural residential density above the current maximum rural density. Jefferson County is aware that these options require a legislative amendment to the GMA. Rural Economy Jefferson County’s rural economy has responded to economic conditions and market forces pivoting towards tourism, agricultural businesses, and small businesses. Our economy is similar to other rural economies, transitioning away from natural resource industries. Our rural economy needs infrastructure to support its economic activities and changes in modern infrastructure, such as the ability to scale wastewater management solutions to meet small community needs is evolving. Even though developments in infrastructure, such as small and innovative sanitary sewer systems may be able to support the overarching planning goals of GMA, while containing and controlling growth in rural areas, GMA generally precludes small and innovative sanitary sewer systems in rural areas as they are defined as urban levels of service. This ignores potential opportunities to provide modern, scaled treatment facilities to support a variety of community needs such as housing and economic development. Jefferson County is aware these rural infrastructure systems would require a legislative amendment to the GMA. GMA allows sanitary sewer infrastructure in rural areas when: (1) it if abates an public health and environmental problem, does not induce sprawling urban development, and is affordable by the community that it serves; (2) it is necessary to support a LAMIRD and it is consistent with the County-wide Planning Policies; or (3) supports a school located in the rural area serving both rural and urban students. Jefferson County is investigating sewering the Brinnon LAMIRD, using the existing Dosewallips State Park sewer system. The Dosewallips State Park sewer treatment plant Jefferson County LAND USE Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan 1–80 January 2021 is located in the Brinnon LAMIRD and its lines run through the LAMIRD to the Dosewallips State Park. Sewering Brinnon would alleviate known and potential environmental problems associated with on-site sewage systems, considering that the Brinnon LAMIRD is located within the 100-year floodzone and is adjacent to the Hood Canal. The application of this allowance is being investigated in the Brinnon Rural Village Center, adjacent to Dosewallips State park’s wastewater treatment facility. The County is working to address requirements of GMA, while allowing limited service by the Dosewallips State park’s system. Currently, Brinnon is served entirely by septic systems. These septic systems have current and potential problems and some systems are located within flood zones. In a 2002 amendment to the GMA, the Washington State Legislature found that GMA is intended to recognize the importance of rural lands and rural character to Washington's economy, and find that rural lands and rural-based economies enhance the economic desirability of the State of Washington. To retain and enhance the job base in rural areas, rural counties must have flexibility to create opportunities for business development and to retain existing businesses and allow them to expand. The legislature’s findings close with: “[T]he legislature finds that in defining its rural element under RCW 36.70A.070(5), a county should foster land use patterns and develop a local vision of rural character that will: [h]elp preserve rural-based economies and traditional rural lifestyles; encourage the economic prosperity of rural residents; foster opportunities for small-scale, rural-based employment and self-employment; permit the operation of rural-based agricultural, commercial, recreational, and tourist businesses that are consistent with existing and planned land use patterns; be compatible with the use of the land by wildlife and for fish and wildlife habitat; foster the private stewardship of the land and preservation of open space; and enhance the rural sense of community and quality of life.” In summary, as Jefferson County reviews rural commercial areas, we explore ways to meet GMA’s fundamental purposes in flexible and meaningful manners. For example, flexibility in designating LAMIRDs, while meeting the purpose and intent of GMA would assist the County with contained and controlled development, enhanced rural economies, additional housing, preservation of natural resources, enhanced open space and parks, and enhanced rural character. The legislative findings for GMA include the conservation and wise use of our lands, along with sharing economic development with communities experiencing insufficient economic growth. GMA should not be a barrier for rural counties, but a platform to encourage sustainable, coordinated, and controlled growth and economic development in accordance with the public’s interest.

(2) Any exception from subsection (4)(d)(v), when consistent with RCW 36.70A.110(4), shall allow the sewer to serve a property or properties in addition to the school if the property owner so requests, provided that the county and affected cities agree with the request and provided that the property is located no further from the sewer than the distance that, if the property were within the urban growth area, the property would be required to connect to the sewer. (3) If a property owner connects to the sewer under subsection (4)(d)(v)(2), the school district may, for a period of time not to exceed 20 years, require reimbursement from a requesting property owner for a proportional share of the construction costs incurred by the school district for the extension of the sewer. Appendix 3 MLA20-00102 – Draft Proposed Text Amendments to Support the Port Hadlock Sewer LAND USE Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan 1–124 April 2021 Port Hadlock / Irondale Urban Growth Area History of Planning Designation Detailed planning for the designation of a Port Hadlock / Irondale Urban Growth Area in compliance with the requirements of the GMA has been on- going since the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted in 1998. Specific policy language in the Comprehensive Plan indicated the joint city/county intent to pursue future Urban Growth Area planning for the “Tri-Area” (including Irondale, Port Hadlock and Chimacum). As part of the on-going joint City/County urban growth area planning, the Tri-Area Provisional Urban Growth Area (Urban Growth Area) was designated by Jefferson County on October 5, 1999 as an interim step in the Urban Growth Area planning process. In 2000, the boundary of the Interim Urban Growth Area was established, and included the Irondale and Port Hadlock communities. In-depth analysis and environmental impact review of the land use, population, capital facilities and public services, natural systems and critical area constraints, open space, housing, and non-residential land use needs for a Tri-Area Urban Growth Area are incorporated in the Tri Area/Glen Cove Special Study conducted from 1998-2002. Public Facilities & Services Specific planning for public facilities and services in the Port Hadlock / Irondale Urban Growth Area is referenced in this section and in the Capital Facilities Element, as well as supporting appendices of the Comprehensive Plan, the Tri Area/Glen Cove Special Study, the Jefferson County Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area Sewer Facility Plan of September 2008, andthe Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area Sewer System/Water Reclamation Facility and Influent Pipeline Design Plans & Specifications dated December 2013., and the Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Facility Plan Update dated February 2021. Inside the Puget Sound Iron Company, Jefferson County, from the Collection of the Jefferson County Historical Society LAND USE Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan 1–131 April 2021 and policies guiding the development of the Urban Growth Area. This included identification of additional plans and capital facilities (including costs and funding sources) needed to implement the full range of urban services and facilities within the Urban Growth Area. The next phase involved preparation and adoption of Urban Growth Area development regulations now codified in Chapter 18.18 of the JCC. This phase also included completion of the capital facility plans needed to implement the full range of urban services required in CWPP 2.1, including the adoption of urban level of service standards for Urban Growth Area transportation improvements, storm water management facilities, and a new sanitary sewer system. These capital facility plans are adopted herein by reference and are included as appendices to the Comprehensive Plan. The Urban Growth Area functional capital facility plans as adopted herein are available under separate cover and include: ▶ Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area Sewer Facility Plan, September 2008 and Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Facility Plan Update, February 2021. ▶ Port Hadlock / Irondale Urban Growth Area Stormwater Management Plan, May 2004 ▶ Port Hadlock / Irondale Urban Growth Area Transportation Plan, May 2004 as updated in Appendix C Consistent with CWPP 1.5, the adopted Port Hadlock / Irondale Urban Growth Area General Sewer Plan identifies phased development areas within the Urban Growth Area based on where the six (6) year capital facilities plan is prepared to provide urban sanitary sewer service in the Urban Growth Area core, followed by expansion of sewer service availability throughout the Urban Growth Area in the 20 year planning period. More complete discussion and analysis of these areas are found in the “Capital Facilities” section of this element and in the adopted Urban Growth Area General Sewer Plan. Public involvement was a key component of all phases of Urban Growth Area planning. The County appointed an Urban Growth Area Citizen Advisory Committee during the initial Port Hadlock / Irondale Urban Growth Area boundary and land use planning phase in 2001. The CAC was comprised of local Urban Growth Area residents and business owners and participated in developing the initial recommendations for the Port Hadlock / Irondale Urban Growth Area boundary and land use designations adopted in 2002. An Urban Growth Area Citizens Task Force was appointed in 2004, again comprised of local business owners and residents, to help the Planning Commission Urban Growth Area Subcommittee develop specific implementing regulations and capital facility development standards for the Urban Growth Area. LAND USE Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan 1–132 April 2021 Alternative Phasing Sewer Policy Within the UGA, the principal barrier to greater density is the lack of a sanitary sewer. Some communities in Washington State allow development activity on alternative wastewater treatment systems that do not preclude future hook-up to traditional sewer. For example, Kitsap County explored pocket plants, membrane bioreactor treatment systems, and community drain fields, and the Growth Management Hearings Board found these types of systems provided an urban level of service for new development (KCRP VI v. Kitsap County; Case 06-3-0007). Pierce County allows dry sewer lines to be installed; residential development up to the maximum density may be allowed, if lots in excess of the density permitted with on-site septic cannot be developed until the sewer line is extended and connected to all the lots. The City of Yakima allows urban development if there are either public sewer systems or approved community sewer systems. A policy is included allowing for alternative technologies and phasing to advance development in the Urban Growth Area, and meet community needs such as for housing variety and affordability. Land Use Map & Zoning Designations The Future Land Use and Zoning Map, adopted as a part of this element, is the graphic representation of the densities and intensities of use and the goals, policies and strategies contained within this plan. The Land Use and Zoning Maps were developed based on consistency with the GMA, community involvement, consideration of the 1995 Tri-Area Community Development Plan, the results of the Special Study, the Proposed Irondale/Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area: Dwelling Unit & Population Holding Capacity Analysis, Cascadia Community Planning Services, January 21, 2009, and the specific criteria contained within this element. Land use and zoning designations are as follows: ▶ The Urban Low Density Residential (UGA-LDR) zone will allow housing density from four (4) to six (6) dwelling units per acre. Moderate Density Residential (UGA-MDR) zoning will allow housing at a density of 7-12 units per acre. The High Density Residential (UGA-HDR) zone will allow housing at a density of 13-18 dwelling units per acre. ▶ The Urban Commercial (UGA-UC) zone covers both the existing and planned future commercial development in the Port Hadlock core area and along Rhody Drive from Ness” Corner along the commercial strip fronting SR 19.

In Jefferson County, future capital costs are generally larger than future dedicated capital revenues. This trend is seen in most counties and cities throughout Washington State, given the structural and legal limitations on capital funding sources. Understanding the magnitude of this difference can help the County plan for ways to fill in the gap through other funding methods, such as operating transfers or bonds.

However, the County has plans for providing sewer services to the Port Hadlock / Irondale Urban Growth Area as the area urbanizes. The potential service area is located approximately six miles south of the City of Port Townsend. Information about these service plans are detailed in the 2008 Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Facility Plan. In 2021, Jefferson County revised the 2008 Port Hadlock Wastewater System: Urban Growth Area Sewer Facility Plan and 2013 Design Plans & Specifications for the Port Hadlock UGA with technical design updates to provide for a more cost-effective system. In March 2021, the 2021 Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Facility Plan Update was approved by the Washington State Department of Ecology. Jefferson County Public Health is responsible for permitting and programs related to onsite sewage systems in rural areas. Non-county sewer service providers include the City of Port Townsend, which provides sewer services to its residents, and the Olympic Water and Sewer District, which provides services to the designated Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort. The City of Port Townsend serves the city limits and has adopted its 2000 Wastewater Facilities Plan. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan also provides information about city sewer service.   April 2021 Jefferson County | Capital Facility Plan Technical Document  33   Inventory of Current Facilities  The County currently does not own or operate sewage collection or treatment facilities.  Because of the Port Hadlock / Irondale UGA designation, facility planning was undertaken  to determine the specific capacity needs, potential ownership and operations scenarios,  and funding requirements. The Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Facility Plan, dated September 2008,  has been accepted by the State Department of Health and State Department of Ecology as an  engineering plan‐level document. The Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Facility Plan, dated  September 2008 and Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Facility Plan Update, dated February 2021, is  hereby incorporated by reference into this Capital Facility Plan Technical Document and  the associated Comprehensive Plan.   The City of Port Townsend’s Comprehensive Plan lists an inventory of sewer facilities  that includes a wastewater treatment plant, a secondary treatment facility, a compost  facility, 70 miles of gravity sewer, 3 miles of force mains, seven sewage lift stations,  and 1,250 maintenance holes.  Olympic Water and Sewer maintains a treatment plant for its sewer services.   Level of Service Analysis  The County has not adopted a level of service for sewer services since service is pending  in the future when funding is available. However, The UGA sewer plan projected an  effective level of service for projected flow, shown in Exhibit 3‐25. The sewer plan  projects an area population of 5,776 by 2030, which is higher than this Plan’s population  projections by 2038. For the effective level of service standards, the sewer plan notes  peak hour flows as the target service to be met.   The 2008 Jefferson County―Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Facility Plan 2021 Port Hadlock Sewer  Facility Plan Update estimated population in the potential service area through 20308,  which included an effective level of service based on assumed flow projections per  equivalent residential unit. The 2021 Sewer Facility Plan Update used a 2038 population  projection of 5,394 residents which is slightly lower than the 5,776 residents projected  in the 2008 Jefferson County Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Facility Plan. The 2038 population  projections are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s population projections. The  previous sewer plan analyzed service levels with population projections through 2030,  where it assumed 5,776 residents in the service area. Those projections are slightly  higher than current projections from the 2018‐2038 Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan,  which projects a 2038 population of 5,394. Thus, the ability to meet proposed level of  services for future sewage systems remains the same.  April 2021 Jefferson County | Capital Facility Plan Technical Document 34 EXHIBIT 3-25 Growth & Potential Sewer Demand System Projected Wastewater Flows (Million gallons per day) Annual Average Maximum Monthly Peak Day Peak Hour Gravity Collection System 0.70 784,844 0.96 1,154,922 1.28 1,651,448 2.59 3,359,568 STEP Collection System 0.63 626,783 0.82 870,412 1.05 1,177,265 2.26 2,664,100 Grinder Pump Collection System 508,238 657,029 821,629 2,142,499 Source: Port Hadlock Sewer Facility Plan, 2009, BERK, 2018.Port Hadlock Sewer UGA Facility Plan Update, 2021. The City of Port Townsend is responsible for its own level of service standards and is regulated by the Department of Ecology. Olympic Water and Sewer Inc. serves Port Ludlow and follows a Development Agreement approved by Jefferson County in 2000 which capped development at 2, 250 residential "Measurement Equivalent Residential Units" (MERU' s). One residential MERU equates to one residential unit and equals 200 gallons per day of sewer waste water flow. In 2015, 1, 544 residential dwelling units had been constructed, leaving 706 dwelling units remaining. (Jefferson County Resolution 38-15) The Master Plan and associated utilities were sized for this growth. County plans assume most but not all the remaining 706 dwelling units would be built. Capital Projects & Funding The Port Hadlock Sewer Facility Plan for the area considered seven alternatives, which would include capital projects if selected. The first capital projects for sewer service would likely be a treatment facility and a collection system. The County anticipates continuing to secure funding in the six-year period of 2018-2023 and implementing once funding is available; implementation is not anticipated until after 2023. To allow urban density pending the development of the full treatment system, the County may allow alternative wastewater treatment systems that do not preclude future hook-up to traditional sewer. The County has considered grants, a local improvement district, and revenue collected from service rates to provide funding. The City of Port Townsend maintains a Capital Improvement Plan it adopts annually. The most recent CIP includes capital projects for sewer services within its 2017-2022 planning period.
