DCD Staff Presentation to Clallam County Planning Commission Regarding Rural Lands GMA Compliance March 18, 2009 Work Session Proposed Compliance Response (lands previously zoned R2/RW2 and currently zoned Interim R5/Interim RW5): 1. Retain
Proposed Compliance Response (lands previously zoned R2/RW2 and currently zoned Interim R5/Interim RW5):
- 1. Retain R2 zoning in newly designated LAMIRDs:
- Solmar LAMIRD
- Dungeness Meadows LAMIRD
- Marine Drive LAMIRD
- 2. Rezoning qualified parcels to Commercial Forest (CF) or
Public (P).
- 3. Rezoning all other Interim R5/RW5 areas to new Rural
Transition (RTZ) Zoning Designation.
- 4. RTZ zoned areas subject to new innovative zoning
techniques:
- Rural Transition Overlay (RTO)
- Rural Transition Clustering (RTC)
- 5. Reconsider areas excluded from LAMIRDs and rezoned
to R5/RW5 for rezoning to RTZ at later date.
Proposed Compliance Response:
- 1. Retain R2 zoning in newly designated LAMIRDs:
- Solmar LAMIRD
- Dungeness Meadows LAMIRD
- Marine Drive LAMIRD
- 2. Rezoning qualified parcels to Commercial Forest (CF)
- r Public (P).
- 3. Rezoning all other Interim R5/RW5 areas to new Rural
Transition (RTZ) Zoning Designation.
- 4. RTZ zoned areas subject to new innovative zoning
techniques:
- Rural Transition Overlay (RTO)
- Rural Transition Clustering (RTC)
- 5. Reconsider areas excluded from LAMIRDs and
rezoned to R5/RW5 for rezoning to RTZ at later date.

Marine Drive LAMIRD with R2 zoning Statistics:
- 145 acres containing 84 parcels
- Average parcel size = 1.73 acres
- Range is 0.25 to 6.74 acres
- 8% (7 parcels) remain > 4.8 acres
Logical Outer Boundaries: Bounded to north by Dungeness Bay and to the south by Dungeness Bay LAMIRD
Proposed Compliance Response:
- 1. Retain R2 zoning in newly designated LAMIRDs:
- Solmar LAMIRD
- Dungeness Meadows LAMIRD
- Marine Drive LAMIRD
- 2. Rezoning qualified parcels to Commercial Forest (CF)
- r Public (P).
- 3. Rezoning all other Interim R5/RW5 areas to new Rural
Transition (RTZ) Zoning Designation.
- 4. RTZ zoned areas subject to new innovative zoning
techniques:
- Rural Transition Overlay (RTO)
- Rural Transition Clustering (RTC)
- 5. Reconsider areas excluded from LAMIRDs and
rezoned to R5/RW5 for rezoning to RTZ at later date.
Rezoning qualified parcels to Public (P) or Commercial Forest (CF)
- 1. To Public (P):
- Dungeness Spit area: 5 acres owned by USA;
- Carrie Blake Park area: 22 acres owned by WDFW;
- Robin Hill Park: 40 acres owned by Clallam County;
- Salt Creek Rec Area: 9 acres owned by Clallam County;
- Hoko River State Park: 74 acres owned by WP&R;
- 2. To Commercial Forest (CF):
- River Road: 77 acres owned by DNR;
- Sekiu River Road: 46 acres owned by DNR
- Western Central 2 Neighborhood
Western Central 2 neighborhood Along Calawah River, west of Forks UGA
Commercial Forest (CF) Zoning Commercial Forest (CF) Zoning Forks UGA Fruit Growers (127 acres) Shoo-Chuss LLC (124 acres)
Commercial Forest (CF) Zoning Commercial Forest (CF) Zoning Forks UGA Private USA
Recommendations:
- 1. Rezone large holdings (Fruit Growers and Shoo-
Chuss) to Commercial Forest (CF). Meet all Comp Plan criteria.
- 2. Rezone remaining ownerships (1 public, 4 private)
to Commercial Forest (CF):
- Additional Comp Plan criteria for ownerships less
than 80 acres:
- Surrounded on 3 sides by CF.
- Other considerations:
- No roads;
- Significant critical areas;
- Would retain right to construct one single family
residence per parcel.
Proposed Compliance Response:
- 1. Retain R2 zoning in newly designated LAMIRDs:
- Solmar LAMIRD
- Dungeness Meadows LAMIRD
- Marine Drive LAMIRD
- 2. Rezoning qualified parcels to Commercial Forest (CF)
- r Public (P).
- 3. Rezoning all other Interim R5/RW5 areas to new Rural
Transition (RTZ) Zoning Designation.
- 4. RTZ zoned areas subject to new innovative zoning
techniques:
- Rural Transition Overlay (RTO)
- Rural Transition Clustering (RTC)
- 5. Reconsider areas excluded from LAMIRDs and
rezoned to R5/RW5 for rezoning to RTZ at later date.
The new Rural Transition (RTZ) Zoning Designation:
- Density at 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres, with minimum lot
size at 1 acre;
- RTZ zoned areas would be subject to new innovative
zoning techniques;
- Only exception is Battelle site, to be rezoned to Rural
Low (R5).
Proposed Compliance Response:
- 1. Retain R2 zoning in newly designated LAMIRDs:
- Solmar LAMIRD
- Dungeness Meadows LAMIRD
- Marine Drive LAMIRD
- 2. Rezoning qualified parcels to Commercial Forest (CF)
- r Public (P).
- 3. Rezoning all other Interim R5/RW5 areas to new Rural
Transition (RTZ) Zoning Designation.
- 4. RTZ zoned areas subject to new innovative zoning
techniques:
- Rural Transition Overlay (RTO)
- Rural Transition Clustering (RTC)
- 5. Reconsider areas excluded from LAMIRDs and
rezoned to R5/RW5 for rezoning to RTZ at later date.
The new Rural Transition Overlay (RTO) provision:
- Allows higher density in areas already substantially
developed at higher density;
- Maximum “parent” parcel size: 15 acres;
- To qualify, at least 70% of parcels within 500 feet of
property boundary must be developed (including a structure) at the time of the RTO application;
- Subject parcel density would depend on average density
- f developed parcels within 500 feet of property
boundary (to a maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per 2.4 acres);
- Land divisions occurring after ordinance adoption date
will not be considered (to avoid increasing densification);
- Other relevant design standards will apply.
RTO Examples (PAPR West 2):
Target lots (2 by same
- wner) = 10.3 acres total.
Options:
- Rural Transition Zoning @
1 du/5 acres = 2 lots;
- Rural Transition Overlay:
73% built lots within 500 feet at average of 2.3 acres = 4 lots @ 1 du/2.4 acres (maximum density);
- Rural Transition Cluster:
Below min. of 11 acres.
Large vacant lot – 155 acres
The new Rural Transition Clustering (RTC) provision:
- Provides density bonuses for cluster development of
larger parcels;
- Minimum “parent” parcel size: 11 acres (may be
comprised of several adjacent parcels, whether or not in common ownership);
- Maximum overall density with clustering: 1 du/2.4 acres;
- Minimum amount of open space or resource land to be
preserved: 70% of parent parcel area;
- Other relevant cluster design standards will apply.
RTO Examples (SDPR South):
Target lot = 20.2 acres. Options:
- Rural Transition Zoning
@ 1 du/5 acres = 4 lots;
- Rural Transition Overlay:
Exceeds max of 15 acres;
- Rural Transition Cluster @
1 du/2.4 acres max = 8 clustered lots max, with 70% open space.
