MEMORANDUM
To:
Jefferson County Board of Commissioners
From:
Mark Ruth, Prosecuting Attorney
Date:
November 3, 1992
Re:
Proposed revisions to the Jefferson-Port
Shoreline Management Master Program
Townsend
You have requested my opinion regarding the following issues as
they pertain to the referenced proposal:
* Do the revisions to section 4.105 Urban Shoreline Designation
constitute a substantive revision to that section that would affect
properties and development proposals in Jefferson county?
* Was it appropriate for the City of Port Townsend to be lead
agency for the environmental review of the proposal?
* Was there adequate public hearing notice as provided for in State
law?
I have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Master Program and
have discussed them with Mr. Dennis McClerran, Port Townsend City
Attorney. I have the following comments:
* The purpose of the proposal is to incorporate the City of Port
Townsend's waterfront planning process into the Shoreline Master
Program and specifically to revise section 4.106 Port Townsend
Urban Waterfront Special District. section 4.106 only regulates
development within the jurisdiction of the City of Port Townsend.
section 4.105 Urban Shoreline Designation regulates development
within all shoreline areas of Jefferson County and the City of Port
Townsend that are designated as urban. The proposed revisions to
section 4.105 do not constitute a substantive change in the Master
Program. Rather, they resolve an inconsistency between Performance
Standard #1, the Urban Designation definition, and the use
classification for residential development in the urban designation
in section 4.40 Use Matrix.
* The inconsistency was noted by the City and the opinion of the
Department of Ecology was sought and received. DOE indicated that
the text of the performance standard would control over the Use
'iiY.
18 fA"~ 00 .1160
Matrix. That is well-settled administrative law. The Shoreline
Hearings Board has previously ruled that the text of a master
program is the controlling factor in questions of interpretation.
Therefore, the amendment represents a necessary classification to
avoid ambiguity.
* The City of Port Townsend initiated the proposal and acted as
lead agency for the environmental review. A determination of
nonsignificance was issued on October 6, 1992. The determination
states that the anticipated environmental impacts were adequately
addressed in the environmental checklist and that the preparation
of an environmental impact statement was not necessary. An Addendum
which discusses the changes to the proposal which resulted from the
public hearing process was adopted by the City Council on October
28, 1992.
The State Environmental Policy Act Rules Chapter 197-11-926 WAC
provide that the agency initiating a proposal is the lead agency
for that proposal. Since the proposal does not include a
substantive change to the Master Program regulation in Jefferson
County outside of the City of Port Townsend, it is appropriate that
the City act as lead agency for the environmental review.
If the only change proposed had been the removal of the
inconsistency between the performance standard and the Use Matrix,
the action would have been categorically exempt from SEPA pursuant
to WAC 197-11-800 (20). Thus the County portion of the proposal
required neither a lead agency designation nor the other procedural
steps under SEPA.
* The Shoreline Management Advisory Commission held a hearing on
the proposal on October 14, 1992. Notice to this effect was
published in the Port Townsend Leader on September 23 and 30 and
October 7 and 14, 1992. A joint hearing was held by the Jefferson
County Board of Commissioners and the Port Townsend City Council on
October 26, 1992.
Chapter 173-19-061 WAC requires that in adopting amendments to
Shoreline Master Programs, local government shall conduct at least
one public hearing. Prior to conducting a public hearing, local
government shall publish notice in each of three weeks immediately
vat
18 FA(ýf 00 1.161
preceding the hearing.
The requirements in WAC 173-19-061 for conducting a public hearing
and publishing notice of that hearing have been substantially
complied with for this proposal by the Shoreline Commission's
public hearing and the notice published for that hearing.

ORDINANCE
2320
AN ORDINANCE pertaining to shoreline management, amending
the Jefferson-Port Townsend Shoreline Management Master
Program and providing an effective date therefor.
The City Council of the City of Port Townsend finds as follows:
1.
In 1990, the City Council adopted the Port Townsend Urban Waterfront Plan (UWP) to
protect the cultural, historic, aesthetic, and environmental quality of the City's
waterfront. Although the plan and its implementing ordinances provide design guidelines
and a special height overlay, it does not include development policies for waterfront
residential or transient accommodation uses. Waterfront residential development is
reviewed for consistency under the policies and performance standards of the Jefferson
County-Port Townsend Shoreline Management Master Program (SMP). It is necessary
and desirable to augment the plan by amending the SMP with respect to permitted and
conditional uses.
2.
The current SMP contains inconsistent provisions r~garding whether residential
development requires a conditional use permit in order to be developed in the Port
Townsend Urban Waterfront Special District shoreline environment. It is necessary to
correct these inconsistencies.
3.
The Jefferson-Port Townsend Shoreline Management Advisory Commission has requested
the City Council to begin a public process that would determine if the SMP should be
amended to address the inconsistencies between the SMP and UWP.
4.
In 1988, Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend reached a settlement with the
Washington State Department of Ecology on the appeal concerning the proposed Union
Wharf redevelopment project. One condition of that appeal was to adopt certain
amendments to the SMP which specifically authorized the Union Wharf project. Now, -
as that the project proponents have failed to proceed and the permits have expired, the
special amendments made then appear inappropriate. Thus, these amendments should
be revised.

. - _."
A 1990 study by the Jefferson County Economic Development Council, "A Survey of
the Economic Impacts of the Marine Trades Industry in Jefferson County," documents
that the marine trades industry in Jefferson County is a major component of the local
economy. There is a direct connection between commercial vessel storage and repair
facilities and the need for preserving shoreline properties for water-dependent uses in
order to maintain a strong marine trades economy. Properties in the Port Townsend
Urban Waterfront Special District that are particularly well suited for these uses are the
Boat Haven Marina and Point Hudson Marina Districts.
The Port Townsend School District has recently received a $400,000 federal grant to
fund a Magnet Training Center. The purpose of the Center is to integrate schools and
the business community in a partnership in vocational training. A primary target of the
Center is to provide vocational training for high school students interested in working in
the marine trades. The Center will also provide classes and additional training for
marine trade employees.
7.
A 1992 report prepared for the Port of Port Townsend evaluates the feasibility of
increasing the capacity of marine haulout facilities at the Boat Haven port property.
Enhanced haulout facilities will allow existing and new marine trade businesses to service
a class of vessels that' will constitute new clients, which could allow Port Townsend firms
to service over 96 % of the commercial and recreational fleet based on the west coast.
The report states that "this activity will create between 70 and 97 new jobs. Marine
trades employment is especially important to the community as it has one of the highest
average annual wages per employee of all economic sectors. "
8.
A statistically validated 1991 Citizen survey undertaken in 1991 by the Port Townsend
Main Street Project found that the uses citizen respondents felt were most appropriate for
the Port Townsend commercial waterfront include: open space (86%), boat repair (85%),
boat building (84%), other marine related uses (84%), restaurants (76%) and festivals
(72 % ). Uses respondents felt were not appropriate for the waterfront included R. V.
parks (81 %), condominiums (74%), and apartments (72%).
9.
Public testimony on recent shoreline permits have indicated public concern about the loss
of traditional shoreline uses. Many of these uses are essential to the traditional fishing
and boat building/repair businesses which continue to be a mainstay of our local
economy. These uses, which must be on the shoreline to survive, are often
displaced by the economic pressures of tourist facilities and residential
developments. The current SMP fails to address this concern and actually favors
residential uses over some water-oriented uses.
10.
The current SMP fails to recognize certain District's unique suitability to accommodate
preferred uses such as water-dependent and water-related uses, while other districts could
further increase water-enjoyment uses. Therefore, the SMP should provide for.

preservation of future opportunities for uses which require a waterfront location, uses
which might otherwise be lost to shoreline development for other uses.
The Commercial Historic District, however, has very few water-dependent uses today.
In this area, permitting non-water dependent uses appears appropriate and may further
promote renovation and adaptive reuse of existing buildings in the District, thereby
economically assisting historic preservation and improved public safety though seismic
strengthening projects in these buildings.
The Shoreline Management Act (RCW 90.58.020.7) states in part that, "uses shall be
preferred which are consistent with control of pollution and prevention of damage to the
natural environment, or are unique to or dependent upon use of the state's
shoreline... shall be given priority for single family residences, ports, shoreline
recreational uses including but not limited to parks, marinas, piers, and other
improvements facilitating public access to the shorelines of the state, industrial and
commercial developments which are particularly dependent on their location on or use
of the shorelines of the state and other development that will provide an opportunity for
substantial numbers of the people to enjoy the shorelines of the state. "
Administrative rules implementing the Shoreline Management Act (WAC 173-16-040-(4»
states that, "Because shorelines suitable for urban uses are a limited resource, emphasis
should be given to development within already developed areas and particularly to water-
dependent industrial and commercial uses requiring frontage on navigable waters." The
proposed amendment recognizes the unique suitability of certain areas to accommodate
preferred shoreline water dependent or related uses while also encouraging a broad range'
of urban uses, such as commercial and transient uses in the Historic Commercial District.
The proposed amendments are designed to meet the Department of Ecology's suggestions
for preparing Master Program revisions for mixed use projects. As stated in Ecology's
Shoreline Mana~ement Guidebook (1990), "Mixed use developments can be a tool for
achieving increased water-dependent activities, civic revitalization and public access on
the shoreline. It
Now, Therefore, the Port Townsend City Council ordains as follows:
Section 1. Subsection 4.105, "Urban," of the Jefferson-Port Townsend Shoreline
Master Program (SMP) is hereby amended to read as follows:
Definition
The urban environment is an area of high intensity land use, including residential, commercial,
and industrial development. Urban shorelines should be designated for high intensity uses. ef

multi family rcsidcntial development. The urban designation may also be applied to areas of
lower intensity use where the surrounding land use is urban and urban services are available.
Section 2. Subsection 4.106, "Port Townsend Urban Waterfront Special District,"
Shoreline Master Program is hereby amended to read as follows:
4.106
PORT TOWNSEND URBAN WATERFRONT SPECIAL DISTRICT
Deimition
Within the urban shoreline environment is the Special District designation of the Port Townsend
Urban Waterfront. This district encompasses and includes the eoffimereial boat basiR OR Thayer
Street OR the southv¡est to the Point HudsOR Resort area on the northeast, includiRg that POrtiOfl
froRtiRg Admiralt). Inlet. the Port of Port Townsend properties at Point Hudson. including that
portion fronting Admiralty Inlet. and follows the waterfront along Port Townsend Bay to and
including the Port of Port Townsend properties at the Boat Haven. and extending to the western
edge of the Urban Wetland District. The zone is the most intensely developed waterfront area
in the city and includes two major marinas, water dependent and related commercial and
industrial uses, as well as the Water Street Historic District.
In addition to the policies and standards that follow, the Special District is subject to the policies
and standards contained in the urban shoreline environment (Subsection 4.105). If the provisions
of this Subsection are s.pecifically inconsistent with any other provisions of this program. the
provisions of this Subsection will apply.
The Water Street National Historic Distriet exteRds from Polk to JacksOfl Streets. The Port
Townsend Urban Waterfront Plan (UWP) describes the district in greater detail and is
incor:porated herein by reference. The UWP delineates the district into eight subdistricts from
southwest to northeast:

The Historic Commercial District is the urban commercial core of the community and is
dominated by activities and businesses that are not de1'Cndent on a waterfront location.
However. water-related and water-enjoyment activities do exist in the form of parks. restaurants.
street-end beaches. and piers that afford an opportunity to enjoy the town's shoreline amenity.
Existine development in the remaining seven districts ranges from traditional maritime. water-
de,pendent uses to newer transitional uses. principly transient accommodations and residential
buildines.
Several parcels present °pJ'Ortunities for development of water-dependent. or at least water-
oriented uses.
General Policies
1.
A mixture and variety of uses and activities in the Port Townsend Urban Waterfront
District is encouraged, particularly those that:
a.
Are water-dependent or water related uses or are accessory to or support water
dependent and/or water related uses.
Provide an opportunity for the public to actively or passively enjoy the
community's waterfront amenity.
Blend with or enhance the character and flavor of the Port Townsend Urban
Waterfront.
Provide a physical link or connection open to the public between the upland and
the shoreline.
Are supportive and reinforcing of the design and architectural qualities of the
Water Street National Historic District when located within or adjacent to its
boundaries.
b.
c.
d.
e.
2.
A public pedestrian walkway system should be established along the Special District's
waterfront utilizing a combination of natural beaches, BoElftiwalks, pathways, piers,
wharves, street-ends, sidewalks, stairways, or other improvements. Although it may not
be feasible for the walkway system to be continuous throughout the entire area, it should
promote quality pedestrian access to and along major portions of the waterfront. The
street-ends of Thayer, Decatur, Kearney, Gaines, Scott, Walker, Calhoun, Tyler, Adams,
Quincy, and Monroe Streets should, at a minimum, become developed access points to
the shoreline. Linkage between these street-ends should be determined by the physical
characteristics of the shorelines, existing development patterns, potential for structural
improvements, and other factors relevant to developing a continuous pedestrian system.
3.
Existing piers and wharves along the Port Townsend Special District waterfront should
be refurbished or rebuilt in order to maintain a modern-day link with the community's
maritime history. The refurbishment or redevelopment of existing pier and wharf
structures may iHclude a pl8:HHOO æixmre af eoæmereial deyelopmeRt coRsisteRt with

effiy be developed only to serve water-dependent uses.
Existin~ water-dependent and water-related uses should be preserved and protected as
critical elements of the traditional and current economy of the city. as well as elements
which define the character of the community.
Exce.pt within the Historic Commercial District. new residential or transient
accommodation developments should not be allowed unless as part of a mixed-use project
incor:porating water-dependent. water-related or water-enjoyment uses.
Properties within the Boat Haven Marina District should preserve water-dependent or
publicly oriented recreational uses along the shoreline and foster adjacent upland water-
related commercial and water-related industrial uses which are necessary to support an
economically viable Port District.
7.
Properties within the Point Hudson Marina District should preserve or protect existing
water-oriented uses. New development or redevelopment should be designed to provide
for water-related uses in conjunction with a variety of other water-enjoyment uses.
Performance Standards
.L
Development shall be limited to those uses which can be classified as a water-de.pendent.
water-related or water-enjoyment use. Non-water-oriented development. while not
preferred. may also be authorized as a conditional use provided said development
reco~nizes the public access directive of the Shoreline Management Act and makes
provisions for the public's continued and enhanced enjoyment of the shoreline. Such
provisions could be the preservation of shoreline views. the establishment of a public
access easement across and to the shoreline. enhancement of an adjacent street-end or
park. or other consideration commensurate with the degree of impact caused by the
development.
2.
New structures or exterior alterations of existing structures located within or immediately
adjacent to the Water Street National Historic Commercial District shall not detract from
the design and architectural integrity of the district. To this end, plans for development
shall inelude exterior elevations with enough design details to be evaluated by appropriate
historic preservation agencies.
3.
Public access provisions shall include consideration for both physical and visual access
to the shoreline. Said provisions shall be coordinated with the Port Townsend PaFlei
Plannin~ and Building Department and planned in conjunction with ~ an appro-led
Comprehensive Public Access Plan, WRen adopted, and shall provide a link between the

planned.
The setback for non-water dependent elements of developments within the Port Townsend
Urban Waterfront Special District shall be a minimum of fifteen (15) feet from the
ordinary high water mark, except for those structures within the \l,Taær Strœt NatioRal
Historic Commercial District where there is no standard minimum setback from the
ordinary high water mark.

the Port Townsend Municipal Code (see Appendix E)'
5.
6.
The redevelopment and revision of existing wharves and piers may be permitted to serve
water dependent or water related uses. Water enjoyment and ROR water oricated uses
may be authorized as conditional uses on these structures, provided such uses are
integrated elements to an overall redevelopment plan meeting all of the following
conditions:
a.
The redevelopment is to an existing, contributing structure within the Water
Street National Historic District as recognized by the National Trust for Historic
Preservation.
The structure is recognized by appropriate historic preservation agencies as
having local and state-wide historic significance.
The structure has an established history of mixed uses, both water oriented and
non-water oriented uses. -
The redevelopment does not exceed the structure's historic, over-water footprint.
Buildings and other structures located on the wharf or pier are approved by
appropriate historic preservation agencies as being compatible and reinforcing of
the architectural integrity of the historic district.
A significant element or component of the developed area is dedicated to water
dependent and water-related uses.
At least one-third of the pile supported structure including a perimeter walkway
is dedicated for public access and enjoyment of the shoreline. All public access
provisions shall be complete and available for public use upon completion of the
first component of the development.
The redevelopment will not result in a reduction in the amount of physical public
access to and over the water as currently exists.
The City of Port Townsend shall be a party to a binding agreement to guarantee
that public access and enjoyment provisions are continuously maintained.

Program by indicating project classifications.
The matrix lists various uses that can occur within the shoreline environment on the left column.
Environmental designations (obtained from Appendix" A" and "B" for any specific location in
the county or city) are listed across the top. The classification is determined by following a use
line and a designation line to their mutual intersection.
The classification of a project determines the level of review that it will receive. The matrix
provides a guide for the classification of project proposals.
