ST ATE OF WASHINGTON
Jefferson County
In the Matter of: Establishing an inventory }
of property suitable for the purpose of }
expanding Jefferson County's affordable }
housing stock in partnership with public }
and/or private entities with expertise in }
designing, funding, developing and }
managing affordable housing. }
RESOLUTION NO. 54-09
WHEREAS, The Board of County Commissioners for Jefferson County, hereinafter
referred to as the "Board," found the lack of affordable housing for very low-income, low-
income, or moderate-income households and special needs populations is intensified by the
rising cost of land and construction; and
WHEREAS, there are publicly owned land and buildings which may be suitable to
be marketed, sold, leased, or exchanged for the development of affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, the County's adopted Comprehensive Plan encourages the development
of housing for people with special needs (Housing Element goal HSG 4.0); and
WHEREAS, Policy HSP 4.7 states: Consider vacant public lands to accommodate
low income housing opportunities throughout the county; and,
WHEREAS, RCW 43.63A.5l0 defines "Affordable housing" as: residential housing
that is rented or owned by a person who qualifies as a very low-income, low-income, or
moderate-income household or who is from a special needs population, and whose monthly
housing costs, including utilities other than telephone, do not exceed thirty percent of the
household's monthly income; and
WHEREAS, the County has adopted a Housing Action Plan (2006) that includes
over 40 strategies to address the growing need for affordable housing stock including Action
36 which states in part: "inventory and evaluate supply of public and private buildable lands
- able to be developed for a variety of mixed income innovative residential projects
throughout the urban centers of the city and county"; and
WHEREAS, the County has worked cooperatively with the Port Townsend City
Council to identify available lands within the city limits;
RESOLUTION NO. 54-09
WHEREAS, the County has conducted preliminary analysis of lands which may be
suitable for affordable housing based upon the following criteria: I) Located within an
urban area; 2) Able to be developed for a variety of mixed income innovative residential
projects (e.g., an acre or more in size, no designated use) 3) No identified environmental
hazards - e.g., majority of site is clear of critical areas 4 ) Available infrastructure
5) Appropriate zoning; and
WHEREAS, developing affordable housing requires specific expertise,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners
of Jefferson County, Washington, that:
Jefferson County establishes an "Inventory of Property Suitable for Affordable Housing"
to include the two county-owned properties generally referred to as "QFC Complex
Area" and "Adjacent to Laurel Grove Cemetery" (as further described in Attachment A).
The Board qualifies the availability of the "QFC Complex Area" to note that the parcel is
currently required for its purposes, however it may be available for affordable housing
use given a proposed concept includes provisions for county office needs or given
Jefferson County obtains alternate facilities to accommodate existing needs.
The Board limits the availability of the property "Adjacent to Laurel Grove Cemetery" to
the northern two-thirds, excepting the south one-third of the property containing the
historical County Cemetery per the survey map of December 18991. B. Hogg.
Furthermore, the Board hereby directs staff to pursue a grant to retain a qualified
consultant and/or distribute the "inventory" to housing providers inviting them to partner
with the City/County and proceed with appropriate due diligence assessments, design,
acquisition of funds, and development of affordable units for rent, lease or sale.
A mixed- income development compatible with the surrounding neighborhood is desired.
Mechanisms shall be in place to ensure that the affordable units remain affordable for a
minimum of 40-years.
Final disposition of any subject properties shall be subject to prior approval by the Board
as to future use. This shall not be construed to imply pre-judgment on any subsequent
land use or environmental approval process.
Finally, the County shall periodically purge the inventory of real property of sites that are
no longer available for the development of affordable housing. The inventory revision
shall include an updated listing of real property that has become available since the last
update. As used herein, "real property" means buildings, land or buildings and land.
RESOLUTION NO. 54-09
It is recognized that there is no guarantee that any of the properties will develop to
underlying densities, nor that they will be economically viable; however, creating the
affordable lands inventory is a promising first step.

county.
Additional to comprehensive plan goals and policies and Housing Action Plan strategies:
RCW 36.34,137 makes the following provisions:
(I) Every county shall identify and catalog real property owned by the county that is no longer
required for its purposes and is suitable for the development of affordable housing for very low-
income, 10wOincome, and moderate-income households as defined in RCW 43.63A.5l0. The
inventory shall include the location, approximate size, and current zoning classification 'of the
property. Every county Shall provide a copy of the inventory to the -department of community
development by November I, 1993, with inventory revisions each November I thereafter.
(2) By November I of each year, beginning in 1994, every county shall purge the inventory of real
property of sites that are no longer available for the development of affordable housing. The
inventory revision shall include an updated listing of real property that has become available since
the last update. As used in this section, "real property" means buildings, land or buildings and
land.
And
RCW 36.34.135 makes the following provisions:
If a county owns property that is located anywhere within the county, including within the limits of city or

negotiation, lease the property for affordable housing for a term not to exceed seventy-five years to any
public housing authority or nonprofit organization that has demonstrated its ability to construct or operate
housing for very low-income, low-income, or moderate-income households as defined in RCW
43.63A5l0 and special needs populations. Leases for housing for very low-income, low-income, or
moderate-income households and special needs populations shall not be subject to any requirement of
periodic rental adjustments, as provided in RCW 36.34.180, but Shall provide for such fixed annual rents
as appear reasonable considering the public, social, and health benefits to be derived by providing an
adequate supply of safe and sanitary housing for very low-Oincome, low-income, or moderate-income
households and special needs populations.
RCW 43.63A.510 makes the following provisions:
(1) The department shall work with the departments of natural resources, transportation, social and health
services, corrections, and general administration to identify and catalog under-utilized, state-owned land
and property suitable for the development of affordable housing for very low-income, low-income or
moderate-income households. The departments of natural resources, transportation, social and health
services, corrections, and general administration shall provide an inventory of real property that is owned
or administered by each agency and is available for lease or sale. The inventories shall be provided to the
department by November 1, 1993, with inventory revisions provided each November I thereafter.
(2) Upon written request, the department shall provide a copy of the inventory of state-owned and
publicly owned lands and buildings to parties interested in developing the sites for affordable housing.
(3) As used in this section:

2
Agenda Request 10:30 am
as a very low-income, low-income, or moderate-income household or who is from a special needs
population, and whose monthly housing costs, including utilities other than telephone, do not exceed
thirty percent of the household's monthly income.
(b) "Very low-income household" means a single person, family, or unrelated persons living together
whose income is at or below fifty percent of the median income, adjusted for household size, for the
county where the affordable housing is located.
(c) "Low-income household" means a single person, family, or unrelated persons living together
whose income is more than fifty percent but is at or below eighty percent of the median income where the
affordable housing is located.
(d) "Moderate-income household" means a single person, family, or unrelated persons living
together whose income is more than eighty percent but is at or below one hundred fifteen percent of the
median income where the affordable housing is located.
NOTES:
Finding -- 1993 c 461: "(I) The legislature finds that:
(a) The lack of affordable housing for very low-income, low-income, or moderate-income households
and special needs populations is intensified by the rising cost of land and construction; and
(b) There are publicly owned land and buildings which may be suitable to be marketed, sold, leased, or
exchanged for the development of affordable housing.
(2) The legislature declares that the purpose of this act is to:
(a) Provide for an analysis of the inventory of state-owned lands and buildings prepared by the
departments of natural resources, transportation, corrections, and general administration;
(b) Identify other publicly owned land and buildings that may be suitable for the development of
affordable housing for very-low income, low-income, or moderate-income households and special needs
populations;
(c) Provide a central location of inventories of state and publicly owned land and buildings that may be
suitable to be marketed, sold, leased, or exchanged for the development of affordable housing; and
(d) Encourage an effective use of publicly owned surplus and underutilized land and buildings suitable
for the development of affordable housing for very low-income, low-income, or moderate-income
households and special needs populations." [1993 c 461 9 1.]
BACKGROUND: At the January 12,2009 Joint Meeting, Mayor Sandoval stated she would like to see
the City and County work together to look at the land currently owned by the entities which would be
appropriate to set aside for affordable housing. Additionally, the possibility of then turning the properties
over to an organization or holding for potential long term leases was discussed. It was agreed to have an
action item regarding land inventory at the next joint meeting.
3
Agenda Request 10:30 am
Commissioners and Council members acknowledged that most ofthe land held in city/county ownership
has a designated use or critical areas issue. Furthermore, housing should be located in areas with
adequate infrastructure and within close proximity to services.
At the March 5, 2009 joint meeting, the City and County's initial lists were presented as follows:
The criteria used in development of the preliminary City list stems from Action 5.9 of the Housing Action
Plan:
I) Urban areas
2) Able to be developed for a variety of mixed income innovative residential projects (e.g., an acre or
more in size, no designated use)
3) Environmental hazards - e.g., majority of site is clear of critical areas
4) Infrastructure requirements
5) Zoning
County staff prepared an exhaustive list of all properties owned within the City of Port Townsend. The
list of County owned properties has subsequently been further narrowed to remove properties containing
existing park and recreational uses, the Courthouse, and properties unsuitable for residential development
due to critical areas and zoning.
A combined list of City and County properties owned within the City of Port Townsend has been
prepared for presentation to the City Council and County Commissioners at the June 25, 2009 joint
City/County workshop session. The properties were discussed, and the Jackson Street property owned by
the County was removed from the inventory.
The inventory, including 7 properties owned by Jefferson County or the City of Port Townsend is
attached.
Additional possible future next steps identified in the adopted Housing Action Plan include:
Complete appropriate due diligence assessments - of the properties for environmental hazards and
mitigation, infrastructure requirements, public facility priming needs, suitable zoning, and
development code specifications and opportunities.
Package key prototype project lands - for lease or sale from public or private parties for the
purpose of developing mixed income demonstration projects using land lease, community land
trusts, and other innovative ownership.
ANAL YSIS/STRA TEGIC GOALSIPROS and CONS:
The analysis and pros and cons are found in the attached matrix of City and County owned properties.
FISCAL IMP ACT/COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
Additional analysis is recommended which would require one, or a combination of, ofthe following:
additional staff time, consultants, or partnerships with housing providers. See recommendations, below.
There is no fiscal impact associated with identifying a possible affordable housing land bank
RECOMMENDATIONS:
As directed by the Board on September 21,2009, staff prepared a draft resolution formalizing adoption of
the affordable housing land bank and direction to staff to distribute the "affordable lands inventory" to
housing providers and inviting them to partner with the City/County. Staff has further suggested language
in the draft ordinance to address concerns of the Board and to assure consistency with the resolution
4
Agenda Request 10:30 am
adopted by Port Townsend City Council on September 21, 2009. Staffrecommends the Board review and
adopt the attached resolution.
There is no guarantee that any of the properties will develop to underlying densities, nor that they will
be economically viable; however, creating the affordable lands inventory is a promising first step.
