Port Angeles: City Council marathon continues Tuesday

PORT ANGELES — Part 2 of last week’s marathon City Council meeting continues Tuesday, and will feature public hearings on the city’s comprehensive plan, and its six-year street plan and capital facilities plan.

The meeting starts at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St.

The comprehensive plan public hearing and possibly the six-year street plan and capital facilities plan hearing will be continued again, to the June 14 City Council meeting.

Tuesday’s meeting agenda also includes the request for proposals for the city’s proposed solid waste transfer station on the west-side landfill property, and a proposed rezone of a parcel at Race and Caroline streets from residential to commercial.

The 68 proposed amendments to the city’s comprehensive plan and land use map includes:

* Changing the land use designation for the former Rayonier mill site from industrial to commercial.

* Extending sewer line beyond the city limit into the eastern urban growth area and requiring property owners to sign no-protest-to-annexation agreements prior to hooking up.

* Setting aside additional industrial land both on the city’s west side and in its western urban growth area.

* Conducting a buildable lands inventory to support urban growth area expansion.

* Annexing the city’s urban growth areas, which are designated under the state Growth Management Act.

* Minimizing the financial impacts of annexation on residents and businesses.
