Table 20.38.280 – Measuring Tree Canopy
Existing Canopy
New Canopy
Option 1 Tree Survey
Option 2 Aerial Estimation
20-Year Canopy Calculation
• Measure average canopy radius (r) for each tree to be retained
 
• Calculate existing canopy area using the formula: Canopy area (CA) = Πr2
 
• Total the sum of tree canopy areas and divide by gross site area to obtain canopy coverage percentage
• Obtain aerial imagery of site
 
• Measure site boundaries
 
• Measure canopies of individual trees or stand area using leading edges as the forest boundary
 
• Divide total canopy measurement by the gross site area to obtain canopy coverage percentage
For each proposed species:
 
• Calculate radius (r) of canopy at 20 years maturity
 
• Calculate canopy coverage using the formula: CA = Πr2
 
• Multiply by the proposed quantity to be planted to obtain total species canopy area
 
• Total the sum of species canopy area for all proposed species and divide by gross site area to obtain 20-year canopy coverage percentage
(6) 
To assist in the preservation and retention of significant trees and existing tree canopy outside of critical area protection areas and required buffers and perimeter landscaping, the applicant may utilize the following credits:
(a) 
Individual significant trees retained on site shall be counted at 125 percent of their actual canopy area.
(b) 
For clusters or stands of five or more trees, each tree shall be counted at 150 percent of its actual canopy area.
(c) 
For clusters or stands of five or more significant trees, each tree shall be counted at 200 percent of its actual canopy area.
(d) 
Retained trees located within no more than 20 feet of a rain garden or a bio-swale on site shall be counted at 150 percent of their actual canopy area.
(7) 
In addition to the requirements of subsections (6) through (8) of this section, trees planted to meet tree canopy requirements shall meet the following criteria:
(a) 
Sites must be planted or replanted with a minimum of 50 percent evergreen species, except:

The evergreen portion of the required planting mix may be reduced to 37.5 percent when the deciduous mix contains exclusively indigenous species to the Puget Sound region, not including alder; and
(ii) 
Sites obtaining tree canopy requirements solely through street trees are exempt from the requirement to include evergreen species in the planting mix;
(b) 
Sites requiring planting or replanting of tree canopy must plant no more than 30 percent of trees from the same species and no more than 60 percent of trees from the same taxonomic family.
(c) 
Replacement trees shall be planted in locations appropriate to the species' growth habit and horticultural requirements.
(d) 
When preparing the landscaping plan, applicants are encouraged to meet the tree canopy requirement by conserving existing tree canopy including significant trees and other vegetation located on the site and place new plantings in protected areas (such as street trees, perimeter landscaping, open spaces and critical area protection areas and required buffers) at healthy spacing densities before placing trees within individual lots or yards; and
(e) 
Replacement trees shall be located in such a manner to minimize damage to trees or structures on the project site and on properties adjoining the project site.
(8) 
The following tree protection measures shall be taken during clearing or construction:

(9) 
An applicant may reduce the tree canopy requirements by no more than five percent through a landscape modification when all of the following criteria are met:
(a) 
The applicant demonstrates in writing that they have made a good faith effort to comply with the tree canopy requirements within the physical constraints of the site by:
(i) 
Retaining as much of the tree canopy as possible on site consistent with best management practices for maintaining the health of trees; or
(ii) 
Replanting as much of the tree canopy as possible on site consistent with best management practices for maintaining the health of trees;
(b) 
The applicant proposes to plant additional understory vegetation or ground cover area, excluding lawn cover, invasive species or noxious weeds, to fulfill the remaining canopy requirement not met by retention or replanting of tree canopy; and
(c)

(Ord. 028-20 § 5)
A height overlay district (HOD) is hereby established with boundaries as shown on Figure 20.38.640(1)(a) – Height Overlay District Map.
(Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2); Ord. 008-25 § 7 (Exh. F))
The intent of the height overlay district (HOD) is to establish uniform regulations for building height in designated areas to implement adopted subarea plans, support the centers strategy outlined in the city of Port Orchard comprehensive plan land use element, and promote orderly development. The HOD allows for increased building heights in designated centers to accommodate greater densities consistent with adopted subarea plans while ensuring compatibility with surrounding land uses.
The provisions of the HOD are intended to balance development opportunities with the protection of scenic views, access to light, and the preservation of property values. The HOD establishes specific height measurement methods that account for variations in topography where applicable. These regulations are intended to ensure that new development contributes positively to the overall health, safety, and welfare of the community.
The HOD applies to the following designated centers: Downtown Port Orchard Countywide Center, Bethel-Lund Countywide Center, Sedgwick-Bethel Countywide Center, and Sedgwick-Sidney (Ruby Creek Neighborhood) Countywide Center.
(Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2); Ord. 030-21 § 6; Ord. 008-25 § 7 (Exh. F))
No new building or modification of an existing building may be permitted in the HOD unless it complies with the height limits established in this chapter.
(Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2); Ord. 008-25 § 7 (Exh. F))
Where the requirements of this chapter conflict with another chapter, the more restrictive requirement shall control.
(Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2); Ord. 008-25 § 7 (Exh. F))
(1) 
HOD Height Zones Established. Within the HOD as shown on the zoning map, there are three different HOD height zones with height limits established as follows:
(a) 
HOD 3: 48 feet – three stories.
(b) 
HOD 4: 58 feet – four stories.
(c) 
HOD 5: 68 feet – five stories.
(2) 
HOD Height Bonus.
(a) 
Within the Downtown Port Orchard Countywide Center, a 10-foot (one story) height bonus not to exceed 20,000 feet in area may be granted to exceed the applicable maximum height provided in subsection (1)(a) of this section if the applicant agrees to construct and operate (or lease to an operator) a grocery store in the same building for which the bonus is sought, with the grocery store space measuring at least 10,000 square feet in area. In addition to the 20,000-square-foot bonus limit, the area of this additional 10 feet of building height shall not exceed 95 percent of the area of the floor immediately below this bonus height (floor). Any height bonus shall require a development agreement between the developer and the city that provides assurances to the city guaranteeing that the ground floor commercial space will be developed and operated as a grocery store upon project completion.
(b) 
Height bonuses may be granted in accordance with Chapter 20.41 POMC.
(3) 
HOD Height Zone Map. The height zones described in this section shall be applied as reflected on the HOD Height Zone Map as shown in Figures 20.38.640(1)(a) through 20.38.640(1)(e).

(Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2); Ord. 030-21 § 7; Ord. 008-25 § 7 (Exh. F))
Building heights shall be measured one of two ways based on whether the parcel to be developed abuts Bay Street or whether it does not abut Bay Street.
(1) 
Building heights for lots abutting Bay Street shall be measured from the average grade of the property line that abuts Bay Street rather than from the grade plane as defined in Chapter 20.12 POMC (see "building height" and "grade plane"). If this property line is below the city's minimum flood elevation or forecasts for sea level rise, the property line may be elevated to the required minimum ground floor flood elevation for the purpose of measuring height.
(2) 
Building heights for lots not abutting Bay Street shall be measured in accordance with the definition of building height as found in Chapter 20.12 POMC.
(Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2); Ord. 030-21 § 8; Ord. 008-25 § 7 (Exh. F))
Property owners may seek variances from the building height standards imposed under the HOD pursuant to Chapter 20.28 POMC, Variances.
(Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2); Ord. 008-25 § 7 (Exh. F))
Property owners seeking to modify the boundaries of the HOD or the HOD Height Zone Map in POMC Figure 20.38.640(1) may do so by a site-specific rezone pursuant to Chapter 20.42 POMC, Site-Specific Rezones.
(Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2); Ord. 008-25 § 7 (Exh. F))
The intent of the self storage overlay district (SSOD) is to limit self-storage uses to areas of the city where the creation of self-storage facilities will not disrupt the creation of new neighborhoods and will allow for the development of mixed use centers. The SSOD identifies locations where self-storage uses will be of a minimum impact, as shown on Figure 2.
(Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2))
No new self-storage facility or expansion of an existing self-storage facility shall be permitted except within the boundaries of the SSOD.
