Status Update Briefing on Stock Plans for Housing Development

Topic Summary

Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend are engaged in a joint partnership to develop a stock plan program aimed at reducing permitting timelines and costs for new housing construction, including primary homes, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), and multifamily structures. The current status update focuses on gauging community interest in 34 available designs and outlines the next steps, including forming a joint operational committee, leveraging a related state code delay, and coordinating the plan review fee structure between the County and City.

Key Points

  • Stock plans are being developed as an innovative tool to reduce permitting timelines, construction costs, and noncompliance issues.
  • The project is a joint partnership between Jefferson County (BoCC) and the City of Port Townsend.
  • The program could be used for primary houses, ADUs, or multifamily structures, following models in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Renton, Kent, and Seattle.
  • The joint project currently has 34 different plan sets available for review online, submitted by three Western Washington architects/design professionals: GreenPOD (5 plans), Cascadia (11 plans), and Ross Chapin (15 plans), plus three legacy plans selected from a previous Seattle call for projects. These total 34 plans overall.
  • The BoCC specifically requested information regarding the number of individuals interested in the plans before deciding which ones to fund for plan review.
  • The effective date of the 2021 State Building Code was delayed until October 29, 2023, providing staff additional time for public engagement.
  • Staff intends to work with the Housing Solutions Network and home buyer/renter professionals to query interested parties about which designs they prefer.
  • A joint committee will be formed in early October to evaluate interest and criteria, including building efficiency, cost, design, and suitability for multifamily housing in the Tri-Area/Port Townsend.
  • Site-specific land use review is still required due to critical areas or other constraints unique to each site.

Fee Structure and Incentives

  • County Process: Applicants save on the jurisdiction's plan review fees since structural plans are pre-approved.
  • City Process: The City has adopted reduced fees—a Site Plan Adaptation Fee—for stock ADU ($192) and Single-Family Residence ($242) plans, replacing the higher standard Plan Review Fee (typically $1,000, or 65% of the permit fee).
  • The City has not yet developed a reduced Site Plan Adaptation Fee for multifamily structures, though some submitted designs are multifamily.
  • City staff does not recommend waiving the Site Plan Adaptation Fee or the Base Building Permit Fee (which covers inspections) due to the need to ensure site compatibility and coordinate with customers.
  • Users of these plans for multifamily or single-family units may qualify for further City subsidies:
    • Low-income housing fee deferral program (PTMC 3.36.011) for units at or below 80% Area Median Income.
    • ADUs are exempt from paying System Development Charges (SDCs).
    • Multifamily Tax Exemption Program (PTMC 3.15) for low-income units.

Financials

  • The design cost estimate savings through stock plans ranges from $8,600 to $45,000 per project, based on $300/sq ft construction cost and typical design costs of 8-12% of total valuation.
  • The BoCC would need to allocate funds for plan review selection and implementation.
  • The Chief Strategy Officer estimates an additional 40 hours of his time will be necessary to conclude the project.
  • Reductions in County fees are noted: Plan Review Fee reduced from 65% to 20% of the building permit fee for site plan review.

Alternatives

  • The designs are intended to offer cost-competitive options compared to manufactured structures.
  • Alternative plans were initially selected by Commissioners Alan and Coker (Architecture background) and Sircely (housing advocate) from 140 plans submitted to Seattle, focusing on being less costly and easier to construct for non-professionals; three of these original four are still considered (Artisan Group, Shape Arch, and Urban Cottage).

Community Input

  • Staff will be querying a specific audience (potential builders/residents) interested in the designs to inform the joint committee's selection process.
  • Feedback can be submitted to Brent Butler (County) or Emma Bolin (City).

Timeline

  • Current: Additional time afforded due to delay of 2021 State Building Code until October 29, 2023.
  • During delay: Staff conducts outreach/querying of interested parties.
  • Early October (Proposed): Formation of joint committee and kick-off meeting.
  • Late October (Proposed): Meeting and final recommendation of selected stock plans by Committee to BoCC, followed by a City Council briefing.

Next Steps

The Board is requested to acknowledge the information provided; staff will proceed with public engagement and formation of the joint committee leading to plan selection recommendations in late October.

Workshop: Draft Agreement with Jefferson Land Trust for the Ruck Salmon Creek Conservation Futures Project

Topic Summary

Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) requests a workshop session to discuss a draft agreement with the Jefferson Land Trust concerning the Ruck Salmon Creek Conservation Futures Project. This project, which involves the acquisition of a 155-acre parcel of timberlands, was approved for funding in August 2022. The workshop is necessary to review minor changes since the original application and address Board questions to expedite the closing process.

Key Points

  • JCPH requested a workshop to discuss the draft agreement for the Ruck Salmon Creek Conservation Futures Project.
  • The project involves Jefferson Land Trust acquiring the fee simple title (APN# 902272000) to a 155-acre property of timberlands.
  • The project acquisition was originally approved for Conservation Futures funds via Resolution #34-22 on August 1, 2022.
  • The purpose of the workshop is to review minor changes to the project since the application submission and ensure the Board is ready to proceed quickly to closing.
  • The acquisition of the property will permanently protect approximately 48 acres of riparian habitat and 108 acres of upland forest habitat.
  • The property includes 1.1 miles of Salmon Creek and 0.68 miles of six tributaries. Salmon Creek provides spawning grounds for threatened summer chum, coho, and winter steelhead.
  • Conservation Futures funds will contribute to the fee simple acquisition, which Jefferson Land Trust believes is the best way to guarantee long-term interest and protection of the habitat.
  • The statutory warranty deed transferring fee simple title to the Land Trust must include language preventing subdivision and ensuring long-term conservation, consistent with JCC 3.08.030(9) and RCW 84.34.230.
  • The County retains the right to approve any conveyance of the acquired interest. The property cannot be converted to a different use unless equivalent land within Jefferson County is received in exchange by the Grantee.
  • The project site is currently designated as Forest Land (CF-80 zoning, Commercial Forestry 1:80).

Financials

  • Total Project Cost (Estimated): $629,960.
  • Total Conservation Futures Fund Grant Award (Maximum): $135,000 (21.42% of total estimated cost).
    • Acquisition funds: $126,375.
    • Operation & Maintenance funds: $8,625.
  • Estimated Project Sponsor Contribution (Jefferson Land Trust): $494,960 (78.57% of total estimated cost).
  • Funding for this project is provided exclusively by the Conservation Futures Fund, resulting in no impact to the County’s General Fund.
  • The Project Sponsor is responsible for no less than 50% of the total Project cost and all costs exceeding $270,000.
  • Matching funds (estimated $561,750 on acquisition-related costs in the application) are expected from the Salmon Recovery Funding Board ($330,357) and WWRP Riparian Habitat ($300,000).

Alternatives

  • The current landowner (Frank J. Ruck) is a willing seller, but intends to put the property on the market sometime in the next year if the Land Trust doesn't act; the threat of sale leading to residential conversion or inappropriate forestry is considered high.
  • The Land Trust rejected utilizing the Washington State Forest Practices Rules alone for conservation, asserting they are insufficient due to the site's steep slopes and sensitive salmonid habitat, preferring fee-simple acquisition and active restoration.

Community Input

  • The property is part of the Pacific Northwest Scenic Trail, and Jefferson Land Trust plans to continue allowing this use after protection.
  • General public access will be limited to guided tours or work parties due to public safety concerns regarding the steep slopes and restoration activities.
  • WDFW staff are excited about the prospect of Land Trust ownership, as they have been denied access for spawning surveys by the current landowners for several years.
  • The project benefits the entire downstream reach of Salmon Creek, including residents and businesses, and is supported by Chumsortium partners (e.g., North Olympic Salmon Coalition, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe).

Timeline

  • 2021-11-01: Project reimbursement period for acquisition expenses began.
  • 2022-03-15: Application approved by Jefferson Land Trust's governing body.
  • 2022-08-01: Project approved for Conservation Futures funds by Resolution #34-22.

Amendment 1: Dosewallips River Rocky Brook and Powerlines Reach Habitat Restoration Design Agreement

Topic Summary

Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) requests approval of Amendment 1 to the agreement with Natural Systems Design (NSD) for habitat restoration design on the Dosewallips River. The amendment increases the contract total by $27,500 to $472,387.00. The additional funds are designated to acquire LiDAR data, which will improve the hydrologic computer modeling necessary for developing final restoration designs for threatened salmon habitat.

Key Points

  • Amendment 1 changes the agreement with Natural Systems Design (Contractor) for the Rocky Brook and Powerlines Reach Habitat Restoration Design Project.
  • The project aims to develop preliminary designs for high-value restoration actions to support threatened salmon habitat (Hood Canal Summer Chum and Mid Hood Canal Chinook).
  • The funding increase of $27,500 is specifically to support the acquisition of LiDAR (topographic data) for the Powerlines Reach (RM 1.3-2.5).
  • The LiDAR data will be used by NSD to refine the 2D Hydraulic Model (developed conceptually) and update project base maps for use in the preliminary design.
  • Funds are reallocated within the original scope: $20,339 originally budgeted for Contractor topographic and bathymetric field survey in Task 5 is reallocated to the LiDAR provider subcontract.
  • The scope for the Rocky Brook – Jupiter Bridge Reach (RM 3.4-5.8) is also modified: Task 1 budget is decreased by $6,942, and Task 4 (Stakeholder Outreach) budget is increased by this amount, resulting in an increase of total landowner meeting hours from 24 to 49. The deliverable "CMZ Figure of reach, stamped by a Licensed Geologist" is removed from Task 1.

Financials

  • Original Contract Amount (Payment Section 4.a): $444,887.00
  • Additional Amount (Amendment 1): $27,500.00
  • New Total Contract Amount: $472,387.00
  • Funding Source: RCO SRFB (Recreation and Conservation Office Salmon Recovery Funding Board).
