SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Date Completed: March 28, 2023
Per Ordinance No: 09-1003-22 and Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.40.440, site development
review (SDR) provides owners and developers of land an assessment of site requirements for
development of property. SDR is required prior to development. The result of SDR is a description of the physical aspects and constraints of the site for the purpose
of guiding development. While SDR will not vest a property to development regulations, it provides
for a professional analysis of the site according to current development regulations.
Jefferson County Department of Community Development Planning Staff has SDR on parcel
990400254. This SDR reflects the conditions of the property at the date the review was completed.
NOTICE TO APPLICANT:
The purpose SDR is to provide owners and developers of land with a professional assessment of possible site development issues without first applying for permits. As this is a preliminary review of
available GIS mapping data and nontechnical information supplied by the applicant, it is NOT a
guarantee that development can occur in the manner described. However, it is a valuable tool to
allow applicants to plan out the development process in advance. Here are three key disclaimers:
• Site Development Review DOES NOT VEST applicants to a particular set of regulations; that
can only be accomplished in the manner set out in JCC 18.40.320, which in many cases
requires filing of a building permit application.
• Completion of this review does not guarantee future approval for an onsite septic system.
An applicant must apply for and complete all required permitting pursuant to chapter 8.15
JCC and WAC 246-272A. Use of older septic systems is not guaranteed.
• The adequacy of a potable water supply from a well cannot be assessed until after the well
is drilled and water and flow is tested. Proposals necessitating a determination of adequate
potable water supply must meet all county and state requirements in effect at the time of
application.
PROPERTY REVIEW:
Zoning: This parcel is zoned Master Planned Resort Single Family Residential - 4, 4 dwelling
units per 1 acre (MPR-SF-4). This is a conforming lot and is 0.37 acres in size.
Legal Lot of Record Status: This parcel was platted under a Port Ludlow No 1 Area 2 and was recorded on June 3, 1968 under Auditors File Number (AFN) 196207. On October 4, 1999 this plat got adopted into the Port Ludlow Master Plan Resort under Ordinance 08-
2
1004-99. The plat was platted legally and per requirements via both State and Local regulations in 1968. A development agreement under the above ordinance administratively approved this lot as a legal lot of record in 1999. This parcel has not changed configuration
since platted and remains a part of the master plan resort, thus making this site a legal lot
of record.
Setbacks: The setback from Montgomery Lane is twenty (20) feet from the parcel boundary per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.30.050. The setback to all other residential properties is five (5) feet. Critical Areas: Coastal Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone (SIPZ)
Required Reports: No reports required
Coastal Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone (SIPZ):
Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.22.330 (i) states:
(A) Voluntary Actions. Voluntary actions may include but are not limited to:
(I) Water conservation measures;
(II) Ongoing well monitoring for chloride concentration; and
(III) Submittal of data to the county.
(B) Mandatory Actions. (I) For proof of potable water on a building permit application, applicant must utilize DOH-approved public water system if available;
(II) If public water is unavailable, meaning the subject property is not within a
current water service area, an individual well may be used as proof of potable
water subject to the following requirements:
1. Chloride concentration of a laboratory-certified well water sample submitted with building permit application; and 2. Installation of source-totalizing meter (flow);
(III) If public water is unavailable, a qualifying alternative system may be used
as proof of potable water.
JCC18.22.330
(2) Seawater Intrusion Protection Zones. New development, redevelopment, and activities on islands and in close proximity to marine shorelines where there is a risk or a high risk of
seawater intrusion should be developed in such a manner to maximize aquifer recharge,
maintain the saltwater/freshwater balance to the maximum extent possible, and are subject
to the antidegradation policy in accordance with WAC 173-200-030 (Antidegradation Policy).
Stormwater permitting: Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be implemented as conditioned on any permit approvals and as required in the current edition of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Jefferson County has
adopted the most current edition of the manual produced by Washington State Department
of Ecology.
• A Stormwater Management Permit is required for grading of 500 cubic yards or more,
land-disturbing activities of 7,000 square feet or more, or creation of 2,000 square feet or more of impervious surface. This approval may be obtained through a building permit or, if you wish to clear the property prior to building, you must obtain a separate
stormwater management permit. This is required prior to clearing and grading for
related development, such as septic system installation or road/driveway construction.
• Stormwater Management Permits or Vegetation Removal Permits are required for any
tree removal within a critical area or its buffer regardless of square footage cleared.
• Impervious surface includes gravel surfaces.
• Building permits must address stormwater.
3
o A small project is any impervious surface under 2,000 square feet. You must meet minimum requirement #2 from the manual.
o A medium project is any impervious surface from 2,000 to 4,999 square feet or
7,000 or more square feet of clearing. You must meet minimum requirements
#1-#5, including on-site stormwater management. The building permit
application should include a designed stormwater management system to
address runoff from the roof and other hard surfaces. o A large project is any impervious surface from 5,000 square feet or greater. You must meet all minimum requirements. The building permit application should include a designed stormwater management system to address runoff from the
roof and other hard surfaces. If your project meets the large project threshold,
your parcel is five acres or larger, and you are not within an Urban Growth Area,
an engineered stormwater plan is required to ensure low-impact design standards
are met.
• If you plan on clearing the property and would be required by the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to submit a Forest Practices Application (FPA), you must work
with our department first to obtain a Stormwater Management Permit with State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review, in association with a Class IV-General FPA, in
order to avoid a 6-year Development Moratorium per the state Forest Practices Act.
Jefferson County recommends you contact DNR for FPA requirements.
Next Steps: 1. Apply for permits.
