2.1.8 Land Use Controls

Applicable land use controls, such as limitations on impervious surface coverage, minimum landscaping requirements, minimum lot area, setback requirements, parking requirements, and site design standards associated with building placement and orientation, shall be analyzed and documented using the following steps:

  • Review applicable comprehensive plan designation, zoning classifications, and overlay districts that may apply to the site. Overlay districts may include requirements for special design review or district overlays.

  • Determine whether the Shoreline Master Program applies to the site and comply with applicable guidelines and requirements.

  • Consult with the Kitsap County Development Services and Engineering (DSE) Division of Department of Community Development (DCD) to identify other land use regulations that may allow clustering or other practices intended to minimize impervious surfaces. Examples include Performance-based Developments and Master Plan developments.
