16.56.020 Applicability.

The provisions of this chapter apply to the following:

A. Binding Site Plan – Commercial and Industrial Land Use. A binding site plan may be utilized for the divisions of land lying within any commercial or industrial zoning designation.

B. Binding Site Plan – Condominium. A binding site plan is required for the division of land through a condominium subject to Chapter 64.32 or 64.34 RCW, pursuant to RCW 58.17.040(7). For the purpose of approval of condominium developments, the provisions of this chapter shall apply when a land division is proposed as a condominium that results in the subdivision of land into separately owned lots, and that will subject the land to Chapter 64.34 RCW (the Condominium Act).

(Ord. 489 (2012) § 2 (part), 2012: Ord. 483 (2012) § 2 (Att. 1), 2012)

16.56.030 General requirements.

A. Legally existing structures are not required to meet current zoning regulations as a condition of binding site plan approval. Proposed lots or units without legally existing structures or uses must meet current zoning regulations.

B. A binding site plan shall depict building envelopes and all existing and proposed land use(s) for each lot on the face of the binding site plan.

C. A parking lot plan is required for the binding site plan. The plan shall allocate parking to each lot or condominium unit or specify joint use parking. Proposed lots containing legally existing structures and uses may maintain parking as originally approved for the uses, but if changes are made the parking must meet current parking requirements for the use.

D. Access to each lot or condominium unit within the binding site plan shall be depicted. Emergency vehicle access shall be provided in accordance with the applicable provisions of Title 14, Buildings and Construction, and Chapter 11.22, Kitsap County Road Standards.

E. Binding site plans shall be reviewed for storm drainage, roads, road frontage improvements, water supply, sanitary sewage disposal, access or easement for vehicles, utilities, fire protection and zoning requirements. Binding site plan review shall also consider previous decisions affecting the property, accuracy of legal description, ownership, lot dimensions, improvements on each lot and compliance with Chapter 58.09 RCW and Chapter 332-130 WAC.

F. A binding site plan cannot amend or conflict with previously granted use permit approvals or conditions of approval. Amendments to said use permit approvals or conditions shall be accomplished through the appropriate amendment process prior to an application for a binding site plan.

G. Proposed uses must comply with the underlying zone classification. Should a proposed use require a use permit, such as a conditional use permit, said permit shall be requested and reviewed concurrently or prior to approval of the binding site plan. Binding site plan approval does not constitute approval for other required permits.
