Background: The Resort portion of the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort (MPR)
includes approximately 52 upland acres and the 280-slip Port Ludlow marina, Plans for
the Resort have been modified over time, especially with respect to the level and size of
conference facilities.
To date, approximately three-quarters of the Resort area has been developed. This area
encompasses a mix of residential development, conference and lodging facilities, the
Harbor Master restaurant, private recreation facilities, open space and trails, the marina,
and off-street parking facilities. Past development activities include: the plats of
"Admiralty One, Two and Three" (north of Marina View Drive) which encompasses
residential development and the present conference center building; the plat of Ludlow
Bay Village (along the north shore of Port Ludlow Bay) which encompasses residential
development, the Heron Beach Inn and the Harbor MasterRestaurant; the private LMC
Beach Club recreational facility (situated north of the plat of Ludlow Bay Village); and
the 280-slip marina and support facilities.
An application to revise the Resort Plan has now been submitted to Jefferson County,
Prior to the current proposaJ, Jefferson County most recently addressed plans for the
Resort in 1993, 1999, and 2002, In 1993, two Environmental Impact Statements (EISs)
were prepared to address future development within the Port Ludlow community; both
documents addressed properties within the Resort area. The first EIS was a
programmatic EIS addressing plans for over-all development of Port Ludlow. The
second EIS was a project-level EIS addressing development of the Heron Beach Inn and
residential development within the plat of Ludlow Bay Village,
In 1999, Jefferson County adopted Ordinance No. 08-1004-99, which regulates
development within Port Ludlow MPR. Section 3,90 - "Resort Development" describes
the approved "Resort Plan", and identifies the specific type and size of facilities which
are to be developed within the Resort Complex/Community Facilities Zone, These
regulations anticipate a resort which serves as a destination resort for large conference
. \
groups. Changes to the Resort Plan that decrease the listed sizes of facilities are allowed.
Section 3.902 of Ordinance No, 08-1004-99 further states that the actual resort
development may be undertaken in phases, but only following completion of review and
approval of a full resort build-out plan through the SEIS process, The intent of the
environmental review of the Resort Plan is to address cumulative impacts - i.e., the
Resort Plan should not to be piecemealed or broken into small segments.
. \
In 2002, a Supplemental EIS (SEIS) was prepared to address the 100-slip expansion of
the Port Ludlow Marina, This SEIS focussed primarily on issues associated with in-
water construction in Port Ludlow Bay and was part of the in-water permitting process
which includes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NOAA Fisheries, the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service, and the Washington State Department ofFish and Wildlife, as well
Jefferson County. Given the requirements of Section 3.902, impacts identified in the
2002 "Port Ludlow Marina Expansion EIS" must be included in the SEIS for the upland
Resort Plan in order to identify cumulative impacts,
Current Proposal. A Supplemental EIS (SEIS) will be prepared to evaluate the revised
Resort Plan as currently proposed. A description of the Proposed Project and alternatives
to be addressed in the SEIS follow:
Alternative 1: Proposed Project - 2003 Resort Plan
The 2003 Resort Plan proposes that the resort serve as a destination resort for the
traveling public, as opposed to large conference groups. This change will decrease the
size of many resort facilities identified in the 1999 regulations and will increase the
number of residential townhomes. Conferences will still be accommodated, but on a
smaller scale and will be housed in existing facilities such as the Heron Beach Inn, the
Bay Club, the relocated Harbor Master Restaurant, etc. At build-out, development within
the resort area will include:
192 residential units (89 existing + 103 new)
5,400 sq.ft. retail commercial building (new)
The 37 room Heron Beach Inn, including restaurant and lounge (existing)
Harbor Master Restaurant - 5,000 sq ft, (no change in size, but relocated)
Public Recreational Facility - 7,500 sq.ft, (new)
Private LMC Beach Club Recreational Facility (existing)
Marina - 380 slips (280 existing slips + 100 slip expansion)
PLA Offices (within existing conference building)
Maintenance building - 2,900 sq. ft (new)
Off-street parking
Open space, trails (existing and new)
Alternative 2 - 1993 Port Ludlow Resort Plan
Alternative 2 is the Resort Plan as identified in the 1993 Environmental Impact
Statements prepared for Port Ludlow. At build-out, this Plan would include:
186 residential units (64 existing + 122 new)
Retail commercial building - 2,500 sq. ft.
Heron Beach Inn - 36 room Inn, including restaurant and lounge
Harbor Master Restaurant - 5,000 sq ft, (current location)

Marina - 380 slips (280 existing slips + 100 slip expansion)
Marina manager's office
Off-street parking for 400 vehicles
Open space, trails \
Alternative 3 - Existing Resort Plan- No Action

existing MPR regulations. At build-out, development would include: T~''-''-'.'' .
