The Ludlow Cove Division 2 proposal would develop a 120-unit FINDINGS OF FACT 13 14 time-share multifamily residential project on 14.66 acres situated within the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort urban growth area in 15 16 Jefferson County. The proposed project would include six multifamily time-share residential buildings, one reception/recreation building, a 17 private road system, recreational amenities such as a private swimming 18 19 a. pool, barbeques, spas, and public and private trails. The project will be served by public water and sewer 20 21 systems provided by Olympic Water and Sewer, Inc. A storm drainage system for water quality mitigation will be constructed. 22 b. 23 A single access road serves the site off of Paradise Bay 24 c. Road across from Breaker Lane. Public access to the waterfront will be provided by a trail 25 across the property from Paradise Bay Road to the Picnic Point area, 26 27 d. as required in the prior approval. The wetland and stream areas, along with their associated 28 buffers, are located in a Native Growth Protection Easement. 29 The Habitat Management Plan developed as part of the Port Ludlow Associates SUBOS-QOOO4 & SDP04-00002 Page 7 "Ludlow Cove 2" original approval t~\~~usions 'Ond De ., e e 1 describes a Wetland Buffer Enhancement Plan that will be completed as 2 part of Division 2. Shoreline revegetation will also be done 3 according to a Landscape Plan required as part of the original 4 approval. No work is proposed below the ordinary high water mark of 5 Port Ludlow Bay. 6 2. The current project would have created seven separate parcels, 7 and a variance proposal to reduce the width of the private access road 8 was included. Following review of the application, the Public Works 9 department concluded that the variance for road width was not 10 necessary. On May 9, 2005, the applicant revised the application to 11 eliminate the request for variance and to reduce the number of 12 proposed lots from seven to four. The revised site plan also deleted a 13 proposed trail along the waterfront because the location was found to 14 be infeasible due to the steep bank and muddy shoreline. 15 3. The four lot proposal reflects a phasing plan for construction of 16 the seven buildings. The first phase will contain only the recreation 17 building (building 7)and four parking spaces. Phase 2 includes 18 buildings 1 and 2 and the associated parking. Phase 3 contains 19 buildings 3 and 4 and associated parking, and phase 4 contains the 20 last two buildings (5 and 6) and their parking. 21 4. Legal Description: Parcel Number 968 800 102 Ludlow Cove 22 Division 1, Tract E in Section 17, Township 28, Range 01 East, WMi 23 Located on Paradise Bay Road, Port Ludlow, WA 98365. 24 5. Ludlow Cove Division 2 is located between Paradise Bay Road and 25 Port Ludlow Bay, approximately 1000 feet south of the intersection of 26 Paradise Bay Road and Oak Bay Road. Access to the site is directly 27 across Paradise Bay Road from Breaker Lane, which also provides access 28 to the Village Commercial Center. Tract E comprises the parcels 29 formerly shown as Tracts A and B in the approved preliminary plat of Port Ludlow Associates SUBOS-QOO04 & SDP04-OO002 Page 8 .. Ludlow Cove 2" of e e 1 Ludlow Cove. The property encompasses 14.66 acres, or approximately 2 638,590 square feet. The site is located on the north shore of Ludlow 3 Cove at the west end of Port Ludlow Bay. This area of Ludlow Cove has 4 commonly been called the "log dump" by Port Ludlow residents. 5 6. The current project, Ludlow Cove Division 2, is the second phase 6 of the Ludlow Cove project approved August 2, 2002. The original 7 Ludlow Cove project included subdivision approval to create 24 single 8 family lots, variance approvals to reduce the widths of the private 9 access road easements, and a conditional use approval for future 10 multifamily development on parcels then designated as "Tracts A & B." 11 7. The site is currently zoned for single family residential 12 development according to the MPR Code, ordinance #08-1004-99, but was 13 zoned G-1 for General Use when the original Ludlow Cove proposal was 14 submitted. Multifamily development required Conditional Use approval 15 under G-1 zoning. At the time of project vesting, the site was located 16 within the Port Ludlow Interim UGA and designated in the Comprehensive 17 Plan for multifamily development with a maximum density of 16 dwelling 18 units per acre. The site is designated Urban under the Jefferson 19 County Shoreline Master Program. 20 8.

The subject property was zoned G-1 for General Use when the 2 original Ludlow Cove proposal was submitted in 1995. The rUGA 3 ordinance established a 'Multifamily' designation for the site with a 4 '16 unit per acre' density maximum.l 5 10. The Department and Examiner determined that the property was 6 vested to the land use controls that were in effect on the date that 7 the "Ludlow Cove" applications were submitted in 1995. 8 11. The project was approved by the Examiner on August 2, 2002 and 9 included Conditional Use approval for a multifamily project. A three 10 year time limit for submittal of plans and commencement of 11 environmental review for the multifamily project was established as 12 contained in Condition 65.2 The current project has met that timeline. 13 12. A SEPA Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance was issued 14 July 27, 2005, with an appeal deadline of August 9, 2005. No appeal 15 to the SEPA MONS was filed. 16 13. The record was held open to receive three reports that were 17 prepared to meet mitigating conditions of the 2002 Decision. Such 18 SEPA documents are to accompany subsequent decisions making, including 19 this application. The May 13, 2003 archaeological report is of 20 21 1 Ordinance #01-0117-95 1 9.10 and Attachment D thereto. 2 Condition 65 from the 2002 Decision is excerpted here: The application was initially submitted in 1995 and is vested under the ordinances in effect at the time of submittal. The Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort Code was adopted effective October 4, 1999. At the time of application submittal, the Jefferson County zoning Code was in effect. The Site Development Standards for Multi- Family Residential of Section 7.40.1(a,b,c,d, and e) would apply under vesting. The current provisions of the rJi1iform Development Code [UDC] for determining Maximum Duration of the Conditional Use permit for Tracts A & B shall apply as follows: (1) The applicant shall initiate the SEPA portion of Phased Review for Tracts A & B within three (3) years of the effective date; and the applicant shall submit a complete application for a building permit(s) for Tracts A & B within one (l) additional year. (2) The Maximum Duration shall not count the time devoted to the SEPA portion of Phased Reviewl in accordance with UDC 8.10.5.

State law provides that a project vests to the land use controls 9 that are in effect on the date a complete building permit or 10 preliminary plat application is submitted.4 There is a long line of 11 cases upholding the vesting doctrine in Washington State.' 12 Washington's vested rights doctrine vests rights to a land use 13 proposal under the regulations in effect at the time a completed 14 building permit application is filed, regardless of subsequent 15 changes in zoning or other land use regulations. Erickson << 16 Assocs., Inc. v. McLerran, 123 Wn.2d 864, 867-68, 872 P.2d 1090 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 (1994). In 1987, the doctrine was codified in RCW 19.27.095 and RCW 58.17.033. These provisions require that the application be completed. They also extended the doctrine to applications for land division. Noble Manor Co. v. Pierce County, 133 Wn.2d 269, 275, 943 P.2d 1378 (1997). The purpose of vesting is to provide a measure of certainty to developers, and to protect their expectations against fluctuating land use policy. West Main Assocs. v. City of Bellevue, 106 Wn.2d 47, 50-51, 720 P.2d 782 (1986). 27 28 29 4 RCW 58.17.033 and RCW 36.70B.070 Both provisions provides that the local government establishes the required content of applications and the procedures. 5 Donwood, Inc. v.

For instance, the Port Ludlow 3 Master plan Resort Code and Development Agreement are prospective--not 4 retroactive. 5 NOTE: "2002 Decision- will be used to describe the Examiner's approval of the original Ludlow Cove application where vesting was established. 6 7 4. The statute uses the term 'complete application', however; most 8 jurisdictions have adopted the term 'substantially complete 9 application' to overcome a typical argument by applicants when 10 additional information is requested.6 11 5. The Examiner determined in the 2002 Decision that the property 12 was vested to the land use controls in effect on January 19, 1995 to 13 allow consideration of the applications for two variances (later 14 withdrawn), and (ll a Long Subdivision, (2) a Substantial Development 15 Permit, and (3) a Conditional Use Permit for Tracts A and B. The three 16 remaining applications were approved on August 2, 2002. That approval 17 was not appealed, and now stands. 18 6. The 2002 Decision noted that the 1995 application is only vested 19 to be considered under the vested ordinances. Once an action is taken 20 (ie, the consideration is accomplished), the vesting status is over.7 21 This becomes an issue for the Conditional Use Permit because if the 22 CUP expires without having been implemented, vesting status expires. 23 24 25 6 For instance, RCW 36.70B.070(2) states: ~A project permit application is complete for purposes of this section when it meets the procedural submission requirements of the local government and is sufficient for continued processing even though additional information may be required or project modifications may be undertaken subsequently. The determination of completeness shall not preclude the local government from requesting additional information or studies either at the time of the notice of completeness or subsequently if new information is required or substantial changes in the proposed action occur."

A three year time limit for submittal of plans and commencement 2 of environmental review for the multifamily project was established as 3 contained in the 2002 Decision as Condition 65. The current project 4 to date has met that timeline. The explanation in Conclusion 6 is 5 important because a denial of this application would mean that the 6 vesting expires. Also, if approved and the project is not implemented 7 the vesting would expire. 8 Zoning/Density Issue, 9 8. As noted in Conclusions 3 and 4 above, the 1995 application was 10 vested to the land use controls in place in 1995. At the time of 11 vesting in 1995, the property was zoned G-1, which allowed multifamily 12 residential at a density of up to 16 dwelling units per acre with the 13 approval of a Conditional Use Permit.8 14 9. The Port Ludlow Master Plan Resort Code and Development Agreement 15 must be read in their entirety. Both are prospective--whereas vesting 16 is to the time that a complete application is made. The Development 17 Agreement clearly states that it relates to future development.9 Note 18 Conclusion 3 above under vesting. See also Resolution #91-95 and 19 Ordinance #17-1002-95. 20 10. Similar to Conclusions under Vesting Issue, the vesting and 21 zoning questions were settled under the 2002 Decision with the proviso 22 that such vesting is for the consideration of the 1995 application as 23 ultimately approved in 2002.10 If the CUP expires without having been 24 implemented, the vesting status also expires. 25 26 27 28 8 Ordinance #01-0117-95 S 9.10 and Attachment D thereto. 9 Development Agreement at S 1.3.7 10 Noble Manor v. pierce County, 133 Wn.2d 269, 278, 943 P.2d 1378 (1997). 29 Port Ludlow Associates SUB05-00004 & SDP04-00002 Page 14 "Ludlow Cove 2" # '11') oi Pa.Q~_~ e e 1 Time-Share - OWnership versus Use Issue: 2 The time-share issue as raised in this hearing has not been 3 raised in any other cases before this Examiner. The basic question 4 becomes whether a time-share as proposed by Trendwest is permitted as 5 a multifamily residential project or should be considered as a form of 6 hotel (commercial use). Is this time-share proposal a form of 7 ownership only or is it a form of land use? 8 T~e-Share ANALYSIS: 9 The Department properly began by citing definitions from the 10 applicable Zoning Code (Ordinance #09-0801-94). Those and other 11 definitions are excerpted below: 12 Ord. 9-94 J 3.10 (69) Multifamily Residential Development "Multifamily Residential Development' means developments containing structures housing two (2) or more residential dwelling units. Multifamily residential developments are those that are designed and intended for residential occupancy in multifamily structures regardless of the type of building or ownership in which such use occurs. Examples include, but are not limited to: tow.nbouses, duplexes, multiplexes, condominiums, apartment houses, boarding houses, and lodging houses. Accessory dwelling units, i.e. mother-in-law and accessory apartments, shall not be considered multi-family residences. [Emphasis added] 13 14 15 16 17 18 Ord. 9-94 J 3.10 (21) Commercial use, general. General commercial use' means an activity that provides merchandise or services for the consumption of the community at large through retail and/or wholesale outlets, including but not limited to retail shopping, business and professional services, and transient accommodations. For example: bakeries, banks, hardware stores, offices, restaurants, theaters, vehicle sales and repairs, and veterinary hospitals. 19 20 21 22 23 Ord. 9-94 S 3.10 (94) Transient Accommodations. "Transient accommodations" means a building or group of buildings in which lodging or lodging and meals are provided for transient guests for compensation. Transient accommodations include but are not limited to cabins, resorts, hotels, motels, hostels, and campgrounds. For the purposes of this Ordinance, transient shall be defined as being not more than 30 consecutive days' duration. 24 25 26 27 Ord. 9-94 S 3.10 (54) Land Dse. "Land use" means a description of how land is used or occupied. 28 29 Port Ludlow Associates SUB05-00004 8. SDP04-00002 Findings.

["The Timeshare Act"] 2 As used in this chapter, the fOllowing terms have the meanings indicated unless the context clearly requires otherwise. (5) "Interval" means that period of time when a timeshare owner is entitled to the possession and use of the timeshare unit. (11) "Timeshare" means a right to occupy a unit or any of several units during three or more separate time periods over a period of at least three years, including renewal options, whether or not coupled with an estate in land. (14) "Timeshare owner" means a person who is an owner or co-owner of a timeshare. If title to a timeshare is held in trust, "timeshare owner" means the beneficiary of the trust. (16) "unit" means the real or personal property, or portion thereof, in which the timeshare exists and which is designated for separate use. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 RCW 64.34.020. Definitions. [~Condominium Act"] 12 In the declaration and bylaws, unless specifically provided otherwise 13 or the context requires otherwise, and in this chapter: (9) "Condominium" means real property, portions of which are designated for separate ownership and the remainder of which is designated for common ownership solely by the owners of those portions. Real property is not a condominium unless the undivided interests in the common elements are vested in the unit owners, and unless a declaration and a survey map and plans have been recorded pursuant to this chapter. 14 15 16 17 18 Black's Law Dictionary, Abridged Fifth Edition, 1983: "Time-sharing" Sharing ownership in a recreational or .resort condominium according to time, for example one week per year would be a 1/52 interest. Various plans are available. 19 20 21 22 Time-Share CONCLUSIONS: 23 11. The first step in this type of analysis is to review the 24 definitions contained in the applicable ordinances. 25 a. The definition of Umultifamily residential development" is 26 important because the structures are designed and intended for 27 residential occupancy. Note that the definition goes on to qualify 28 that such structures are residential regardless of ownership. 29 Port Ludlow Associates SUB05-00004 & SDP04-00002 Findings. Conclusions and 7ision (~:k-- Page 16 "Ludlow Cove 2" ...~.--' --_...:---r=: e e 1 b. The definition of ftcommercial use" is clearly in contrast 2 to ftmultiple residential development". 3 c. The definition of fttransient accommodations" appears to 4 confuse matters; however, there are qualifying features in the 5 definition. The operative terms are "lodging" and "lodging and meals" 6 that are provided. A dictionary definition of lodging is 'sleeping 7 accommodations'.ll 8 d. The State Department of Ecology submitted a letter relating 9 to the question of residential use and timeshare ownership. It must 10 be noted that the Department of Ecology has no jurisdiction over local 11 code interpretation and that the DOE letter simply states that if the 12 use were to be considered a commercial use, a different permit process 13 would apply for shorelines. 14 12. Si~ce the applicable Zoning Code did not define "time-share", the 15 next legal resource is the Time Share Act.!! The Time Share Act is 16 significant because it not only defines terms, but it enables and 17 regulates time share operations. Here, it is clear that 'timeshare' 18 refers to a right to occupy as unit, and 'timeshare owner' identifies 19 ownership. Turning next to Black's Law Dictionary, 'time-sharing' is 20 an ownership, and the example is expressed in a fractional interest. 21 13 . The Staff Report contains other analyses that also leads to a 22 conclusion that the Trendwest time-share proposal does not change the 23 project from multifamily residential to hotel or other commercial use. 24 14. The proposal remains as a multifamily residential development 25 that must be considered under the vested application--and not rejected 26 as a commercial use. 27 28 11 The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Houghton Mifflin, New College Edition, 1979 III Chapter 64.36 RCW 29 Port Ludlow Associates SUB05-00004 & SDP04-00002 Page 17 "Ludlow Cove 2" .. findings.

Multifamily residential use is a primary use in the urban 12 environment for Jefferson County. The policies and performance 13 standards of Sections 4.105 Urban Shoreline Designation, 5.160 14 Residential, 5.190 Transportation, and 5.20 Utilities, apply to the 15 proposal. These sections were also applied to the original shoreline 16 permit for Ludlow Cove and resulted in a set of conditions that were 17 applied to the project. Those conditions related primarily to public 18 access, stormwater management, and compliance with the required 19 development standards under the Jefferson County Shoreline Master 20 Program. 21 17. The Shoreline Master Program sets out a set of development 22 standards. The standards include but are not limited to requirements 23 for parking, landscaping, setbacks, height, preservation of natural 24 features, locations and limitations on fences and accessory 25 structures. The proposal as submitted meets these standards and they 26 will not be repeated as conditions of this approval. Similarly, 27 standards related to general erosion control and stormwater management 28 29 18 See Log Item 124 Port Ludlow Associates SUB05-00004 8. SDP04-QOOO2 Page 18 "Ludlow Cove 2" Rndings, Conclusions LOG ITErJrd Decision # ('rlL ~.. of : e e 1 will not be repeated. Instead, a condition will require any change in 2 the approved plans to be submitted to the Department for review to 3 ensure continuing compliance with applicable Shoreline and zoning code 4 standards. 5 18. The Department of Ecology commented that the proposal site was 6 located on a shoreline of statewide significance. All areas of puget 7 Sound lying waterward from the line of extreme low tide are considered 8 shorelines of statewide significance. No part of this project, 9 however, will be waterward of the line of extreme low tide, below the 10 ordinary high water mark, or even within the shoreline setback, except 11 the shoreline revegetation required as part of the original approval 12 and shoreline permit. 13 14 DECISION 15 Based upon the testimony presented at the Public Hearing, a site visit by the Examiner, the documents and exhibits admitted into the record, and the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is hereby the decision of the Hearing Examiner that the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit and Binding Site Plan/Condominium Subdivision by Port Ludlow Associates each be APPROVED, subject to the following 16 17 18 19 20 21 conditions: HOTB: Code requirements are indicated as ICAO, SDP, and Su.s, respectively.
