1. The Master Plan described in Section 17.60.40 of the proposed regulations limits the
development.
Section 17 .60.40 states:
For the purposes of this Article, the Master Plan for future development of the
Pleasant Harbor MPR consists of the regulations set forth in this Article, along with
the conditions and requirements of Ordinance 01-0128-08 and the conditions and
requirements published in the November 27, 2007 Final Environmental lmpact
Statement for the Brinnon (also referred to as the Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf
Resort) Master Planned Resort and December 2015 Pleasant Harbor Final
Supplemental lmpact Statement, including maps, mitigation measures, phasing
plan and any Development Agreement between Jefferson County and the
Developer.
Section 17.60.40 requires a development agreement, not subdivisions, short plats, or binding site
plans.
Section 17.80.040(2) in the version updated for the May 29, 2018 BoCC deliberations (previously
Section 1 7.80.060(2)) states:
Jefferson County shall accept building permits only for projects included in and
consistent with the Master Plan. A revision to the existing Master Plan shall be
submitted to Jefferson County for approval prior to the acceptance of any proposal
that is inconsistent with the Master Plans set forth in this title. Upon approval of a
revision, all subsequent development proposals shall be consistent with the
revised Master Plan and development regulations.
2. Other sections of the proposed development regulations also limit development.
For example, Section 17.60.060 states:
ln addition to the requirements of this title, the provisions of Title 15 and Title 18 of
the Jefferson County Code shall apply to development in the Pleasant Harbor
MPR. Any regulated land use or development activity within the Pleasant Harbor
MPR must comply with the applicable development standards and requirements
of:
(1) Conditions and requirements of Ordinance 01-0128-08;
(2) The mitigation measures required in the November 27, 2007 Final
Environmental lmpact Statement for the Brinnon (also referred to as the Pleasant
Harbor Marina and Golf Resort) Master Planned Resort (200T FEIS), the Pleasant
Harbor Marina and Golf Resort, Final Supplemental Environment lmpact
Statement December 9,2015 (2015 FSEIS); and
(3) The terms and conditions of any Development Agreement entered into
between Jefferson County and the Developer.
Where conflicts occur between the provisions of this title and other applicable code
provisions, or other regulations, the more restrictive shall apply.

3. Among other requirements, Title 18 of the Jefferson County Gode requires compliance
with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the Shoreline Management Act.
For instance JCC Section 18.15.135 discusses the criteria for approval of a MPR:
An application to develop any parcel or parcels of land as a MPR may be approved,
or approved with modifications, if it meets all of the criteria below. lf no reasonable
conditions or modifications can be imposed to ensure that the application meets
these criteria, then the application shall be denied.
(1) The master plan is consistent with the requirements of this article and
Article Vl-D of this chapter (Environmentally Sensitive Areas District (ESA)).
(2) The MPR is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan, the requirements of the Shoreline Master Program, and complies with all
other applicable sections of this code and all other codes and policies of the county.
(3) lf a MPR will be phased, each phase contains adequate infrastructure,
open space, recreational facilities, landscaping and all other conditions of the MPR
sufficient to stand alone if no subsequent phases are developed.
(4) The MPR will provide active recreational uses, adequate open space, and
sufficient services such as transportation access, public safety, and social and
health services, to adequately meet the needs of the guests and residents of the
MPR.
(5) The MPR will contain within the development all necessary supportive and
accessory on-site urban-level commercial and other services, and such services
shall be oriented to serve the MPR.
(6) Environmental considerations are employed in the design, placement and
screening of facilities and amenities so that all uses within the MPR are
harmonious with each other, and in order to incorporate and retain, as much as
feasible, the preservation of natural features, historic sites, and public views.
(7) All on-site and off-site infrastructure and service impacts have been fully
considered and mitigated.
(8) lmprovements and activities are located and designed in such a manner
as to avoid or minimize adverse effects of the MPR on surrounding lands and
property.
(9) The master plan establishes location-specific standards to retain and
enhance the character of the resort.
(10) The land proposed for a master planned resort is better suited and has more
longterm importance for the MPR than for the commercial harvesting of timber or
production of agricultural products, and the MPR will not adversely affect adjacent
agricultural or forest resource land production.
