3. The amendment process for the CP must be available to the citizens of this County
[including corporations and other business entities] on a regular basis. In
accordance with RCW 36.70A.130, CP amendments can generally be considered
"no more frequently than once per year."
4. This particular amendment cycle began on or before March 1, 2008, the deadline
for submission of a proposed CP amendment.
5. All of the amendment proposals were timely filed by March 1, 2008.
6. Ten formal site-specific amendments and three suggested amendments (for a total
of thirteen) were placed on the Preliminary Docket through the CP amendment
process referenced at JCC Section 18.45.050.
7. All site-specific Comprehensive Plan amendments are included in the Final
Docket in accordance with JCC 18.45.060 (4)(b)(i).
8. The Department of Community Development (DCD) issued an Administrator's
Report on the Suggested Amendments on April 1, 2008, analyzing the proposed
suggested amendments on the Preliminary Docket and offering the
recommendation that only MLA07-104, Industrial Land Bank, be docketed for the
2008 amendment cycle.

Preliminary Docket for all suggested amendments on April 16, 2008.
11. The Planning Commission completed its recommendation on the Preliminary

issues.
15. On July 7, 2008, the Department of Community Development submitted to the
Board of County Commissioners a Supplemental Staff Report on 2008 Final
Comprehensive Plan Docket Decision. Considering the testimony of the June 9,
2008 public hearing and the subsequent Board discussion of Tune 9, 2008, the
department's report makes the recommendation, and the Board concurred, that
MLA07-104 not be included on the 2008 Final Docket but that the work on this
amendment application move forward with the support of the Board of County
Commissioners, and be reactivated as an MLA for a Comprehensive Plan
amendment when the work is complete.
16. The Final Docket was established by the BoCC on July 7, 2008. The Final Docket
for 2008 did not include any suggested amendments, and included only the nine
site-specific amendment proposals.
17. On July 9, 2008, the Planning Commission and DCD Staff took a field trip to each
of the nine docketed site-specific amendment proposal sites.
18. On August 6, 2008, the Planning Commission agenda included a presentation by
the Department of Community Development on Comprehensive Plan amendment
criteria for review of the proposed amendments of 2008.
ORDINANCE N0, O1-0105-09
19. On August 27, 2008, the application MLA08-59 was withdrawn by the proponents
Keith and Carla Guise, leaving eight site-specific amendments to be considered by

preliminary recommendations for each.
21. All of these amendments have been subject to a SEPA analysis through the DCD

amendment cycle shall now be considered cumulatively with respect to a county-
wide environmental review of the associated impacts, if any, of these proposals.
22. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed open public hearing on September
17, 2008. Oral public comment relating to the eight proposed amendments was
taken during the public hearing, and written comments were accepted through the
close of business October 3, 2008.
23. The Planning Commission deliberated on the proposed amendments on two
regularly scheduled meetings on October 15, 2008, and November 5, 2008.
24. The above statements indicate that the proposed CP amendments were and are the
subject of "early and continuous" public participation as is required by GMA.
25. For all of the proposed amendments included in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan
Amendment Docket, the Planning Commission reviewed the growth management
indicators found at JCC 18.45.080 and JCC 18.45.050.
26. The Planning Commission recommendations were transmitted to the Board
through formal memoranda dated November 6, 2008, and are part of the record for
the legislative decision. Incorporated by reference in the recommendation report

ORDINANCE N0. 01-D105-09
27. The Planning Commission recommended approval with modification to three
proposals: MLA08-56 [Brown], modified whereby the existing pasture land is re-
designated as Agriculture of Local Significance (AL 1:20), an area comprising
nineteen and a half (19.5) acres; and further, recommended retaining zoning of
forest land currently designated CF 1:80; MLA08-96 [M. Holland], modified
whereby the Planning Commission recommended zoning of the proposed Local
Area of More Intensive Rural Development (LAMIRD) as Convenience Crossroad
(CC) rather than Neighbor Crossroad (NC); and MLA-101 [Hendy], modified
whereby the Planning Commission recommended zoning only the existing Rural
Business Industrial Zone (RBIZ) as Light Industrial (LI), excluding portions of the
property containing wetland resources and thereby not increasing the total acreage
having the designation of industrial zoning.
28. The Planning Commission cast two tie votes on MLA08-69 [George], a request to
rezone 20 acres zoned RR1:20 to RR1:10 in two separate meetings of October 15,
2008 and November 5, 2008, thereby forwarding the application to the Board with
no recommendation.
29. The Planning Commission recommended approval of MLA08-32 [D. Holland] as
requested by the applicant. The Planning Commission reviewed the growth
management indicators found at JCC 18.45.080 for MLA08-32 [D. Holland]. The
Planning Commission found that the rezone was consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and was in character with the adjoining lots, and further, that
the proposal meets concurrency requirements and does not affect adopted levels of
service.
30. For MLA08-32 [D. Holland], DCD found that the Rural Residential 1:10 parcel
meets the criteria of LNP 3.3.1 for the Rural Residential 1:5 designation, it does
not contain significant critical areas, and it will not created direct pressure to up-
zone parcels immediately adjacent to the property.
31. For MLA08-56 [Brown], the Planning Commission voted unanimously to adopt
the amendment with modification. The modification was to "split-zone" the
ORDINANCE N0, 01-.0105-99
parcel, re-designating existing pasture land as Agriculture of Local Significance
(AL 1:20), an area comprising nineteen and a half (19.5) acres; and further, retain
zoning of forest land currently designated CF 1:80.
32. For MLA08-96 [M. Holland], The Planning Commission recommended approval
with modification, changing the LAMIRD designation from Neighborhood
Crossroad (NC) to Convenience Crossroad (CC).
33. For MLA08-96 [M. Hollandj, The Planning Commission reviewed the growth
management indicators found at JCC 18.45.080. The Planning Commission found
that the proposal concerns an existing retail establishment that qualifies as a legal
non-conforming use since 1977. The Planning Commission also found that traffic
has increased on State Route 104, and the project-level proposal would require
transportation review.
34. For MLA08-101 [Hendy], the Planning Commission recommended approval with
modification. The Light Industrial zoning was recommended only on the
approximately 3.84 acres that held the Rural Based Industrial Zone (RBIZ)
designation.
35. The Planning Commission found that the MLA08-101 [Hendy] proposal is
consistent with the Growth Management Act, the County-wide planning policies,
any other inter jurisdictional policies or agreements, and any other local, state or
federal laws.
36. The Planning Commission unanimously approved and recommends the UDC
amendment MLA08-389 that is associated with the Comprehensive Plan
amendment in MLA08-101.
37. The Planning Commission voted on the individual Comprehensive Plan
amendments considering the Growth Management Indicators in 18.45.080 JCC. At
that point, after all the votes had been taken, the Planning Commission also came
to the conclusion that when applying the Growth Management Indicators found in
18.45.050 JCC regarding "cumulative impacts" of its 8 decisions on the site-
specific amendments, they found no reason to change the recommendations.

ORDINANCE N0. O1-010509
38. A minority report was submitted by two planning commissioners on November 6,
2008 with divergent recommendations on four applications. The minority
recommendation was to approve applications MLA08-69 [George], a proposal to
rezone 20 acres zoned RR1:20 to RR1:10; MLA08-84 [Broders], a request to
rezone a 38 acre parcel from 1:20 to 1:5; MLA08-73 [Jackson], a proposal to
rezone a 120 acre parcel of Commercial Forest to Rural Residential 1:10; and
MLA08-56 [Brown], diverging from the Planning Commission's recommended
modification of leaving the forested portion of the parcel as CF 1:80, and
suggesting instead that the requested change from CF 1:80 to Rural Forest 1:40 be
granted on the forested portion.
39. DCD staff recommendations remained unchanged from the September 3, 2008
Staff Report throughout the process.
40. The DCD staff recommendations diverged from the Planning Commission
recommendations in three instances: MLA08-56 (Brown), where DCD
recommended denial and the Planning Commission recommended. approval with
modification; MLA08-69 (George), where DCD recommended denial and the
Planning Commission brought forward no recommendation; and MLA08-93 (Pope
Resources/Iron Mountain Quarry), where DCD recommended approval with
modification and with conditions and the Planning Commission recommended
denial.
41. The Board held aduly-noticed public hearing on the CP amendments on
December I, 2008.
42. All procedural and substantive requirements of the GMA, through the JCC (Title
18) and the Planning and Enabling Act (RCW 36.70), have been satisfied.
43. The Board deliberated on each of the eight proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendments on December 8, 2008.
44. Pursuant to JCC Section 18.45.080(2)(c), for all adopted amendments the Board is
required to develop findings and conclusions which consider the growth
7
ORDINANCE N0, 01-,0105-D9
management indicators set forth in a) JCC Section 18.45.050(4)(b)(i) through
(vii), and b) items (i) through (iii) in JCC Section 18.45.080(1)(b).
45. JCC Section 18.45.080(1)(c), which contains eight criteria from which the Board
must generate findings, is applicable only to site-specific Comprehensive Plan
amendments.
46. Inquiry into the growth management indicators referenced above was begun for
the 2008 Docket through the DCD integrated Staff Report and SEPA Addendum
of September 3, 2008. The Board adopts the Planning Commission's findings and
conclusions with respect to the growth management indicators as detailed in the
Planning Commission meeting minutes and audio recordings from October 15,
2008, and November 5, 2008, during which deliberations took place and the
recommendations were formulated. These findings are also augmented by the
September 3, 2008 staff findings and conclusions, except when and as noted
below.
47. With respect to the individual amendments adopted by the Board, the Board enters
the following case-specific findings and conclusions:
48. MLA08-32 [D. Holland] for Assessors Parcel Number (APN) 001-064-002 is
submitted by Dave Holland/Davos Capital LLC. The parcel is located on the
corner of Arabian Lane and Hastings Avenue, Port Townsend. The applicant
seeks to rezone approximately 14.02 acres from Rural Residential (RR) 1:10 to
RR 1:5.
49. With respect to MLA08-32 [D. Holland], the Board unanimously concurs with and
adopts as if stated in full here the findings and conclusions in favor thereof of the
Planning Commission recommendation and of the DCD Staff Report and SEPA
Addendum dated September 3, 2008. (See Findings of Fact 25, 29 and 30).
50. Specifically, the board adopts the staff Cumulative Impact Analysis in the staff
report, including the Growth Management Indicators, beginning on Page 2-9.
51. Furthermore, the Board incorporates here by reference Table 2 found in the DCD

ORDINANCE N0, 010105-09
that part of Table 2 containing information on the amount of acreage in each of the
three Rural Residential designations, RR 1:5, RR 1:10 and RR 1:20.
52. A review of that portion of Table 2 indicates that about 113 of the County's Rural
Residential land has a designation of RR 1:5, about 1/9a' of the County's Rural
Residential land has a designation of RR 1:10 and the remainder, approximately
55-60% of the County's Rural Residential land holds the zoning designation of
RR 1:20.
53. Those rough proportions were not changed in any significant manner by the
board's approval of MLA08-32 and thus the County continues to have, even after
the adoption of these four Comprehensive Plan amendments, the variety of rural
residential densities required by the GMA.
54. The Board adopts the map for MLA08-32 in Attachment "A" signed by the
Planning Commission chair on November 5, 2008.

rezone from CF 1:80 to RR 1:20 or Agricultural Land of Loca] Significance (AL-
20).
56. With respect to MLA08-56 [Brown], the Board voted 2-1 to approve with
modification, concurring with, and adopting as if stated in full here, the findings
and conclusions in favor thereof of the Planning Commission (See Findings of
Fact 25 and 31).
57. The Board added a finding that according to aerial photographs, the pasture land
has been pasture since 1994 prior to adoption of the Jefferson County Land Use
Map effective August 29, 1998.
58. The Board approved a "split-zone" of the parcel, re-designating existing pasture
land as Agriculture of Local Significance (AL 1:20), an area comprising nineteen
9
ORDINANCE N0~ O1-D105-09
and a half (19.5) acres; and further, retain zoning of forest land currently
designated CF 1:80.
59. The Board adopts the map in Attachment "A" for MLA08-56 signed by the
Planning Commission chair on November 5, 2008.
60. MLA08-96 for APN 821-333-001 is submitted by Michael Holland/Blue Moon

Route 104 and consists of approximately 0.5 acre zoned RR1:5. The application
requests designation of a Local Area of More Intensive Rural Development
(LAMIRD) with a zoning designation of Rural Commercial Neighborhood
Crossroad (NC).
61. With respect to MLA08-96 [M. Holland] the Board unanimously approved the
request with modification of the zoning designation of the LAMIRD to
Convenience Crossroad (CC).
62. The Board adopts the map for MLA08-96 in Attachment "A" signed by the
Planning Commission chair on November 5, 2008, and further adopts the
associated Comprehensive Plan line-in/line-out language to add this location to
LNP 5.2 per Attachment "D".
63. With respect to MLA08-96 [M. Holland] the Board unanimously concurs with and
adopts as if stated in full here the findings and conclusions in favor thereof of the
Planning Commission and the DCD Staff Report and SEPA Addendum (dated
September 3, 2008, pp 2-66 - 2-69) which discuss this CP amendment and its
potential cumulative impacts, if any.
64. Specifically the Board reviewed the Comprehensive Plan policies and criteria for
designation and the board enters as findings of fact the staff Cumulative Impact
Analysis in the staff report, including the Growth Management Indicators,
beginning on page 2-62, and of the Planning Commission recommendation (See
Findings of Fact 25, 32 and 33).
65. For MLA08-96, the Board entered the finding that the parcel is consistent with the

Line-in/line-out of page 3-20
The Glen Cove industrial boundary for light industrial/commercial uses recognizes a contained cluster of
existing uses. When the County adopted the Comprehensive Plan in 1998 and established the interim
LUC zone at Glen Cove, the GMA was still in its formative years and the case law was not available for
guidance. Jefferson County was among the first counties to establish Limited Areas of More Intensive
Rural Development (LAMIRDs) allowed under GMA as amended in 1997 by ESB 6094. There was
intent to revisit the boundary after thorough analysis was completed. An expanded Light Industrial (LI)
zone was established at Glen Cove in December 2002. The Light Industrial district does not allow for
the commercial uses that are allowed in the LI/C zone.
Center Valley Industrial Area
The Center Valley Licht Industrial (LI) area was previously desiepated a Resource Based Industrial Zone due to the
presence of a small sawmill operation. The sawmill closed and was inactive for several years before the area was
rezoned as Lir>ht Industrial in 2008 to accommodate an expanded opportunity of uses at the site.
Quilcene Industrial Area
The light industrial area at Quilcene was recognized in the final Plan based on criteria in 1997
amendments to the GMA allowing Counties to recognize and contain existing areas and uses of more
intensive industrial development (RCW 36.70A.070(5)(d)). The industries need not be limited to those
serving the local population. Other criteria and considerations used for this designation include: a
minority report from the Planning Commission recommending a light industrial area in Quilcene, the
need to provide local employment in an area of distressed economic conditions located at a distance from
the Urban Growth Area, and the desire to reduce commuter-related traffic pressures on County roadways.
The existing industrial uses include a sawmill, a machine shop, and industrial storage. A vested project
for additional industrial storage is the basis for recognition of an adjacent parcel Light industrial uses
allowed in the Quilcene Industrial Area include but are not limited to those described above for Glen
Cove, with the exception of the associated commercial and retail uses.
Transportation access is adequate, as the area is on Highway 101. New development will be restricted
until water supply issues related to adequate fire flow are addressed following the community election
for a Local Utility District in late 1998.
Eastview Ltght Industrial/Manufacturing Zone
The Eastview Industrial Plat borders the Paper Mill Heavy Industrial Zone on the north. Eastview
consists of six lots comprising about 8 acres that was platted in 1978. The current uses include storage,
boat yard, and repair services.
Urban Industrial
Urban Industrial lands are not bound by the requirements for rural industrial lands in RCW
36.70A.070(5)(d), and has the ability to expand beyond the July 1, 1990 built environment. There is
currently one example of Urban Industrial within the County, the Urban Light Industrial Zone within the
Irondale/I-Iadlock UGA.

LAND USE AND RURAL
RURAL COMMERCIAL LANDS
• Designation and Classifecation
Rural commercial lands are designated using criteria in the Growth Management at RCW
36.70A.070.5(d). This section of the GMA establishes the criteria by which limited areas of more
intensive rural development (LAMIRDs) can be designated by local jurisdictions outside of urban areas.
Logical Boundaries of Rural Commercial Areas
Criteria jor Determining Commercial Land Boundaries
The process for determining commercial boundaries included an internal County review to ensure
consistency with GMA criteria and Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. Proposed boundaries for
commercial areas were submitted to the Jefferson County Departments of Environmental Health,
Development Review, and Public Works for reviews of limitations on future development imposed by
water supply, septic constraints, critical areas, storm water, transportation, and capital facilities. County
departments with regulatory or management authority over these areas provided recommendations
regarding appropriate boundaries and issues of concern.
Final Comprehensive Plan boundaries for rural commercial areas resulted in a substantial reduction in the
amount of commercial land available for development in rural Jefferson County from 1994 zoning, This
reduction in commercial land was accomplished through the application of GMA criteria for rural lands,
including those established in 1997 legislative amendments. Logical boundaries were drawn around
• existing commercial uses in order to contain and limit development to existing areas of more intensive
development. The criteria used, including both GMA criteria and local considerations, were as follows:
Criteria from RCW 36.70A.070(5)(c):
• Contain or control rural development;
• Assure visual compatibility with surrounding rural area;
• Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density
development in the rural azea;
• Protect critical areas and surface and ground water resources;
Protect against conflicts with the use of designated natural resowce lands.
Criteria from RCW 36.70A.070(5)(d), the 1997 GMA amendments:
• Logical outer boundary of an area or use existing on July 1, 1990;
• Prevent new low-density sprawl;
• Clearly identifiable and contained area of more intensive development;
• Delineated predominantly by the built environment;
• May include undeveloped lands if limited;
• Preserve character of existing natwal neighborhoods and communities;
• Use physical boundaries (bodies of water, streets, topography);
• Prevent abnormally irregular boundaries;
• Provide public facilities and public services so as to avoid low-density sprawl;
• Existing industrial areas are not required to principally serve existing and projected rural
population.
• 3. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.070(5)(a), the boundaries were also evaluated based on the following local
considerations that could affect boundaries or require the application of special conditions:
Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan 3-9 UPDATED BY ORDINANCE # 17-1213.04
LAND USE AND RURAL
• Regional transportation concerns, traffic volumes, access, and safety.
Proximity to incompatible uses.
• Partial designation of large parcels that are not fully developed for existing uses, to prevent sprawl.
• Home businesses/cottage industries should not be used to determine boundaries.
• Provide employment opportunities for local residents, in particular in azeas of insufficient economic growth
or economic decline.
• Support community planning goals and rural community cohesion.
• Provide for multi-family and special needs housing opportunities.
• Avoid creating new non-conforming uses.
Application of Criteria to Designation of Rural Commercial Boundaries
Jefferson County applied the above criteria to existing commercially zoned areas based on local
circumstances and extensive public comments received during the planning and review process.
Historical commercial areas that serve as a focal point for community economic and social activities
were recognized for the multiple functions they provide to residents. A number of these areas also serve
the visiting public, a seasonal population influx that is increasing during other times of the year.
The following table provides figures for infill areas in rural crossroads and the acreage of land in
undeveloped parcels. The net acreage, without roads, water and right of ways, for each. is followed by
the percent that the total undeveloped land comprises of total land for that crossroad. The figures in the
following table are based on data from the Assessor's land use codes.

Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan 3-1 ~ UPDATED BY ORDNANCE #
LAND USE AND RURAL
The total designated crossroads acreage of 135 acres contains 16.78 acres in undeveloped parcels
• available for infill. This is equal to approximately '~~ `' ' of the total. The number of uses that may
develop in these infill areas varies with the size and lot coverage of the use, as well as the requirement
for septic systems, critical areas protection, buffering, access roads, and wells or water supply lines.
Of the above crossroads, several are limited in infill opportunity. The convenience/general stores at
Nordland, Beaver Valley, and Wawa Point can expand the existing business under the criteria for a
Convenience Crossroads, but cannot subdivide for another commercial use.
Septic system, water supply, and critical areas issues will limit development by an additional amount that
is likely to be 30-50% of the land required for a project. These figures demonstrate that the land
available for infill development in rural crossroads has been limited by the designated boundaries.
In the section that follows, individual commercial areas are discussed with regard to GMA criteria and
local circumstances. Maps of commercial lands and boundaries are provided in this element and in
digital format on the County's website.
Rural Crossroads
1. Convenience Crossroads -Convenience crossroads consist of a single commercial property at a
historical crossroads. The existing commercial use is a convenience general store with associated
uses such as gas station, video, espresso, or cafe/deli, and provides basic goods and commodities for
the local population and the commuting or traveling public.
• Wawa Point
• At Wawa Point, the hardware/general store with an accessory building is designated, with limited
additional area for possible expansion and to meet parking requirements. The commercial area
designated within the large parcel of 24.3 acres on which the store is located is limited to 4.2 acres.
Safe access from Highway ] Ol is provided by a frontage road.
During the Brinnon subarea planning process a Small Scale Recreation and Tourist Overlay District
was created at Wawa Point for four lots comprising 18.7 acres. The SRT Overlay recognizes the
historic use of the area for recreation and allows low-intensity commercial activities, such as
campgrounds, RV parks, nursery or public gardens, Scuba diving facilities, and a farmer's market.
• Beaver Valley
The Beaver Valley store is a convenience store and gas station with associated uses such as video
rental and acafe/deli. It functions as a community center and "bulletin board" for nearby residents.
Located on State Route 19 between the Hood Canal Bridge and northeastern Jefferson County, the
store also serves commuters and visitors.
• Nordland
C ,
J
Jefferson CounTy Comprehensive Plan 3-11 UPDATED BY ORDINANCE :3
LAND USE AND RURAL
The Nordland store is located on State Route 116 on Marrowstone Island. The general store has a
post office and kayak rental, and provides the only basic goods and services available for the island
community. It is a historic enterprise which serves as a social and community center.
__.. __..
+*= ''. '° a=Rd
2. Neighborhood/Visitor Crossroads - NeighborhoodNisitor crossroads are designated based on
multiple commercial uses that serve the neazby rural neighborhood and the commuting or traveling
public with a limited range of basic goods and services. Permitted uses include all Convenience
Crossroads uses as well as restaurant, tavern/bar, auto parts and repair, farm supply and equipment,
and a limited range of specialty stores and professional services. Performance standards for new
development shall be consistent with the rural character, size, and scale of the existing commercial
area and the surrounding neighborhood.
• Mats Mats
The Mats Mats General Store serves local neighborhood residents as well as visitors to the Oak Bay
and Mats Mats Bay shoreline areas. The logical boundary takes in additional uses including a
photography studio, a vacant former medical clinic, and a chiropractor's office. The southern
boundary is located along a stream drainage.
• Discovery Bay
The Discovery Bay community was historically a thriving economic area on the railroad line, with a
sawmill and a cannery. The historic community declined in population as these uses ended, but the
commercial area has continued due to a location at the junction of State Route 20 and U.S. Highway
101. It serves neazby residents as well as visitors and commuters. Criteria for logical boundaries
have been applied with special consideration of critical areas and traffic issues.
The logical boundary to contain this commercial area allows for limited infill, but protects critical
fish and wildlife habitat in the Salmon and Snow Creek estuaries. Areas of infill are also limited
over estuarine lands based on seismic, frequently flooded, and wetlands critical areas. Existing uses
have been recognized, and limited areas of infill have been allowed farther from critical areas.
Several uses on the western boundary were excluded to address traffic concerns along Highway 101
and in order to prevent linear commercial sprawl, as development is constrained by the estuary on
one side and steep slopes on the other.
• Gardiner
The Gazdiner commercial area is located on U.S. Highway 101, and historically served the
community with a grocery and gas station that closed during the 1980s. Current uses include a bird
feeding supplies store, U-fish pond, an antique store, espresso, and a fishing tackle store. The logical
boundary around the triangulaz commercial area has been drawn using Highway IOI, the Old
Gardiner Road, and the Gardiner Beach Road. A limited amount of infill is allowed in order to
accommodate the community's desire for future development of uses such as a convenience store.
