BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MASON COUNTY, WASHINGTON ATTEST: Randy Neatherlin, Chair Melissa Drewry, Clerk of the Board APPROVED AS TO FORM: Terri Drexler, Commissioner Tim Whitehead, Chief DPA Kevin Shutty, Commissioner z Page 1 August 14,2018 REQUEST FOR REZONE APPLICANT PROPOSAL - PROPOSED REZONE OF 0.44 ACRES FROM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (R-4) TO MIXED USE (MLA) IN THE BELFAIR UGA STAFF CONTACT Kell McAboy, Planning Manager Ext#286 APPLICANT PROPERTY OWNER Robert& Melanie Gilmore Same 299 Percheron Lane NW Bremerton,WA 98312 SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL Rezone parcel 12329-12-900is from Low Density Residential (R-4) to Mixed Use (MU). This parcel is in the Belfair Urban Growth Area(UGA).This does not require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map. PARCEL INFORMATION Parcel No. 3.232g-1290011: is 0.44 acres in size and is located west of and adjacent to NE Old Belfair Highway, north of and adjacent to a feed store, west of and across the street from North Mason Regional Fire Authority and south of and adjacent to a single-family residence. ZONING INFORMATION CURRENT ZONING DESIGNATION: R-4 Low Density Residential The purpose of the R-4 district is to provide a lower density housing option in the UGA. Locations are restricted to sites containing critical areas and slopes as development is expected to be clustered into the more suitable building areas. Locations should also be away from development nodes and commercially zoned areas but with the intensity of development still relatively low, beyond a normal walking distance of one-half to three-quarters of a mile. The district allows for a maximum density of four dwelling units per gross acre. Clustering of the dwelling units and properties is encouraged to protect open space and water quality, reduce infrastructure needs, and enhance energy efficiency. Multi-family dwelling units are conditionally permitted as long as they do not exceed the density requirement and minimize impacts to adjacent single-family dwelling units. PROPOSED ZONING DESIGNATION: MU Mixed Use The primary purpose of this district is to provide for a mix of uses along the SR-3 corridor, in sites around the FR district, and at the future crossroads of Romance Hill Road and the planned alternative north/south access road. Permitted uses include commercial, office, and residential uses. By allowing a broad array of uses, property owners have more choice in how the land can be Staff Report-BOCC Page 2 August 14,2018 developed. Design standards allow developments to front on the street as long as they provide pedestrian-oriented facades—otherwise, developments must provide a landscaping buffer along the street front to enhance the character of the area. Design standards also encourage pedestrian and vehicular connectivity between properties. Building heights up three to five stories are permitted, with lower building heights west of SR-3. Otherwise, no specific density limits are provided (as they will be limited by parking requirements, natural site constraints, and market constraints). BACKGROUND The applicant came to the Permit Assistance Center about a year ago to apply for a building permit to expand the existing building. The existing automobile repair shop has been in operation at this location for 39 years. However,the zoning is R-4 making the repair shop legal non-conforming (the use pre-dates zoning). Legal non-conforming uses are not allowed to expand. The request is to rezone to MU, consistent with existing use and the adjacent property to the south, which is zoned MU (location of Valley Feed). ANALYSIS Mason County Code Section 3.7.oS.o8o(a) describes the eight rezone criteria used to review a rezone proposal. These criterions have been established and adopted specifically for Mason County to establish standards by which each rezone is to be reviewed. The Code requires that each rezone be evaluated considering these standards; however, it does not require that they all be met. Below is Stars response to the proposed request: i. Development allowed by the proposed rezone designation shall not damage public health, safety and welfare. This criterion is met as the applicant's proposed rezone of the property will not damage public health, safety or welfare. The rezone allows the existing use of automobile repair shop to become a conforming use, rather than a legal non-conforming use under its current zoning. 2. The zone designation shall be consistent with the Mason County Comprehensive Plan, Development Regulations, and other county ordinances, and with the Growth Management Act; and that designation shall match the characteristics of the area to be rezoned better than any other zone designation. Staff believes this criterion has been met as it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and specifically consistent with the MU section of the Development Regulations. The mixed-use zone is much better suited than residential given the existing business has been in operation for39 years at that location. 3. No rezone shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or development, whether actual or potential, the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to materially increase sprawling, low-density rural development, or to significantly increase uses incompatible with resource-based uses in the vicinity. This criterion is met as staff believes the rezone of these parcels would not increase sprawl or low- density development or cause it to occur. There are no resource-based uses in the vicinity. Staff Report-BOCC Page 3 August 14,2018 4. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or development, whether actual or potential, the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to materially increase demand for urban services in rural areas, including but not limited to streets, parking, utilities,fire protection, police, and schools. N/A This is in an Urban Growth Area. 5. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or development, whether actual or potential, the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to materially interfere with the Growth Management Act goal to encourage development in urban areas where adequate public services and facilities exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. This criterion is met as the proposed rezone of this parcel would not materially interfere with the Growth Management Act goal to encourage development in urban areas where adequate public services and facilities exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. The rezone would simply allow the existing use to be a conforming use rather than legal non-conforming. 6. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or development, whether actual or potential, the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to materially interfere with the Growth Management Act goal to encourage retention of open space, to conserve fish and wildlife habitat, and generally to protect the environment, including air and water quality. This criterion is met as the proposed rezone would not materially interfere with the Growth Management Act goal to encourage retention of open space, to conserve fish and wildlife habitat, and generally to protect the environment, including air and water quality. 7. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or development,whether actual or potential,the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to create pressure to change land use designations of other lands or to increase population growth in rural areas as projected in the Mason County Comprehensive Plan. This criterion is met as the proposed rezone would not create pressure to change surrounding land uses and will not affect population growth in the rural areas. 8. These criteria shall not be construed to prevent corrective rezoning of land necessitated by clerical error or similar error of typography or topography committed in the original zoning of such land. Although it can be argued that this parcel should have been zoned MU or general commercial in the first place when zoning took effect, this criterion is not applicable and not being requested as the result of any mapping errors.

The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: For nonproject proposals(such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words"project,""applicant,"and "property or site" should be read as"proposal," "proponent,"and "affected geographic area," respectively.The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B- Environmental Elements that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.
