The purpose of this Article VI-M is to implement the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan by promoting creativity in site layout and design, allowing flexibility in the application of the standards for residential development in rural residential and agricultural districts. This article provides performance criteria to encourage flexibility in the type and design of rural residential housing available to the public through the planned rural residential development (PRRD) process. More specifically, it is the purpose of this article to:
(1) 
Provide for residential development in rural areas in a way that maintains or enhances the county's rural character;
(2) 
Allow development of land with physical constraints, while at the same time preserving the natural characteristics of the site, including topography, native vegetation, wildlife habitat, critical areas, and other natural amenities of value to the community;
(3) 
Retain large, undivided parcels of land that provide opportunities for compatible agricultural and other rural land uses;
(4) 
Facilitate the creation of open space corridors for recreation and aesthetic enjoyment;
(5) 
Permit developers to use innovative methods and approaches not available under conventional zoning methods to facilitate the construction of a variety of housing types and densities serving the diverse housing needs of Jefferson County residents; and
(6) 
Provide for the economical provision of infrastructure to new development by allowing choices in the layout of roads, provision of community water and wastewater disposal systems and other improvements through superior site design and the use of clustering.
(Ord. 8-06 § 1; Ord. 14-18 § 4 (Exh. B))
(1) 
This Article VI-M shall apply to all permitted uses within all rural residential and agricultural districts (i.e., RR 1:5, RR 1:10, RR 1:20, AP-20, and AL-20) and constitutes an overlay district (i.e., floating zone) over these districts. This article may be applied to existing subdivisions and lots of record on which no development has yet occurred, or where adequate vacant land exists within an existing development to meet the criteria contained within this article.
(2) 
The PRRD process provides an alternative to traditional development under the prescriptive standards of this code. This article shall not be applied to rural residential or agricultural lots incapable of further subdivision due to minimum lot size, or as a means to avoid other procedures more appropriately reviewed as variance applications under Article IX of Chapter 18.40 JCC.
(3) 
A PRRD application must be processed with either an application for short subdivision, long subdivision, or binding site plan approval under Chapter 18.35 JCC. The function of this article is to allow more innovative ways of designing land divisions, enabling applicants to take advantage of incentives, including flexible density and dimensional standards, modification of other requirements of the county's development standards contained in this code, and density bonuses in appropriate situations in exchange for demonstrated benefits to the public interest.
(Ord. 8-06 § 1)
The permissible number of dwelling units within a PRRD shall be calculated based upon the dwelling unit density of the underlying land use district. For the purposes of this article, dwelling units and accessory dwelling units are considered equivalent and may be combined when calculating dwelling unit density of the underlying land use district, so that the yield of permissible units is the sum of primary units plus accessory units.
(1) 
The minimum land area required for PRRD proposals shall be as follows:
(a) 
RR 1:5 district – 10 gross acres;
(b) 
RR 1:10 district – 20 gross acres; and
(c) 
RR 1:20 and agricultural (AP-20 and AL-20) districts – 40 gross acres.
(2) 
The maximum land area that may be included in a PRRD proposal shall be as follows:
(a) 
RR 1:5 district – 225 gross acres;
(b) 
RR 1:10 district – 450 gross acres; and
(c) 
RR 1:20 and agricultural (AP-20 and AL-20) districts – 900 gross acres.
(3) 
The maximum number of dwelling units that may be permitted in a PRRD proposal shall be limited to 45, contained within dwelling unit clusters of not more than 20 dwelling units each; except, that where a density bonus is requested under JCC § 18.15.520, the proposal may include up to a total of 54 dwelling units, contained within dwelling unit clusters of not more than 22 dwelling units each.
(4) 
Dwelling unit clusters within PRRD proposals shall be sufficiently separated to provide visual relief and maintain rural character. Where feasible, clusters shall be separated by the natural topographical features of the site, including, but not limited to, critical areas, watercourses, and ridge lines. However, in no case shall dwelling unit clusters be located closer than 600 lineal feet from one another. These requirements regarding separation of dwelling unit clusters shall also be applied to circumstances where the adjoining property or properties have previously been developed through the PRRD process as set forth in this Article VI-M.
(Ord. 8-06 § 1; Ord. 14-18 § 4 (Exh. B); Ord. 9-24 § 5 (App. C (Exh. 4)))
(1) 
Each PRRD within the RR 1:5, RR 1:10 and RR 1:20 districts shall contain a reserve tract(s) comprising at a minimum the following percentage of the proposed PRRD:

RR 1:5 – 65 percent;
(b) 
RR 1:10 – 75 percent; and
(c) 
RR 1:20 – 85 percent.
(2) 
The reserve tract(s) may be owned by a homeowners association, corporation, partnership, land trust, individual or other legal entity. The reserve tract shall be preserved as open space in perpetuity.
(3) 
Community water systems, septic drainfields and stormwater detention facilities serving the PRRD may be located within the limits of the reserve tract(s).
(4) 
Golf courses and accessory uses may be permitted upon a reserve tract without issuance of a separate conditional use permit under Chapter 18.40 JCC, if application for such uses accompanies the same application for initial PRRD approval.
(Ord. 8-06 § 1)
(1) 
Each PRRD within the agricultural districts shall contain a reserve tract(s) comprising at a minimum the following percentage of the proposed PRRD: 85 percent with emphasis on preserving land with prime agricultural soils for the practice of agriculture.
(2) 
The reserve tract(s) may be owned by a homeowners association, corporation, partnership, land trust, individual or other legal entity.
(3) 
Community water systems, septic drainfields and stormwater detention facilities serving the PRRD may be located within the limits of the reserve tract(s) only when they would not significantly impede the current or potential future resource use of the reserve tract(s).
(4) 
Permitted uses within the reserve tract shall be limited to agriculture, floriculture, horticulture, general farming, dairy, the raising, feeding and sale or production for poultry, livestock, fur-bearing animals, or honey bees, Christmas trees, nursery stock and floral vegetation, and other agricultural uses and activities accessory to farming and animal husbandry. These limitations on use of the reserve tract shall be noted on the face of the plat or binding site plan.

(Ord. 8-06 § 1; Ord. 14-18 § 4 (Exh. B))
Where applicable, and in addition to the requirements set forth in JCC § 18.15.480(3), applications for boundary line adjustments, conditional use permits or any other action requiring issuance of a permit under this code shall be considered simultaneously with a PRRD application.
(Ord. 8-06 § 1)
(1) 
Purpose.
(a) 
More efficient use can be made of land, energy and resources and more livable development can be achieved when the designer has flexibility in residential dwelling unit types, placement and density. Such flexibility can be achieved while safeguarding the public interest by review of the proposed PRRD plan that shows the type and placement of residential structures.
(b) 
It is intended that innovative residential development encourage imaginative design to achieve these purposes. Therefore, incentive and flexibility may be allowed such as clustered housing and bonus densities, lot size averaging, zero lot lines, condominium development, and mixed residential types. The hearing examiner may approve the use of these tools as provided in this section as deemed reasonable and warranted by the excellence of the resulting design and its benefits to the community.
(2) 
Techniques.
(a) 
Clustered Housing. When residences are clustered in design groups in a PRRD with common open space, the clustered housing may, in lieu of the zone restrictions, be designed with building locations, lot sizes, and/or yards standards as prescribed on the plat or on plans for the PRRD approved by the county.
(b) 
Density Bonuses. When a plat, PRRD or other instrument is submitted under this Article VI-M, and is of sufficient excellence in design and planning, a higher density may be allowed therein in accordance with JCC § 18.15.520.
(c) 
Lot Size Averaging. Lot area may be varied. Except as allowed under JCC § 18.15.520, the combined area of all lots and reserve tracts in the PRRD shall be equal to the density of lot size allowed in the zone where located.
(d) 
Flexible Yards. Except as required under JCC § 18.15.500 yards may be reduced to zero, provided the structures are shown on the plat or PRRD and a 10-foot access for maintenance is given by yard and/or easement along each outside wall.
(e) 
Residential Types. To achieve the most efficient use and conservation of land, energy, resources, view and terrain, mixed residential types may be designated and allowed in innovative PRRDs as prescribed in this section.
(3) 
Buyer Notification. The PRRD plan shall note that the residences thereon constitute an innovative residential development and must be constructed as shown on the PRRD plan. Building permits may be issued only for structure types and placements as shown on the PRRD plan. Sales agreements and titles for land and residences sold in innovative residential developments shall note this restriction.
(Ord. 8-06 § 1)
(1) 
Purpose for Bonus Densities. Bonus densities are intended to provide the incentive to encourage the development of more affordable housing, provide additional public amenities, or preserve valuable natural or cultural resources and features. The satisfaction of any of the bonus density criteria specified in subsection (4) of this section is considered to be in the public interest and worthy of a bonus density.
(2) 
Eligibility for Bonus Densities. Eligibility to obtain a bonus density is based upon site plan review and approval by the hearing examiner after a public hearing. Such bonus densities may be granted to a deserving application if the PRRD plan submitted is judged by the hearing examiner to have achieved one or more of the bonus density criteria in subsection (4) of this section.
(3) 
Maximum Bonus Density. In addition to criteria provided in this Article VI-M, the density shall be compatible with the site's natural constraints and the character and density of the surrounding area.
(4) 
Criteria for Approval of Bonus Densities. Upon submittal of the PRRD application, the hearing examiner shall review the proposed project and with respect to the allocation of bonus densities for the project. The allocation of bonus densities should be based upon a comprehensive review of the entire project. It is the intention of this section to allow bonus densities where a PRRD applicant proposes design attributes providing public benefits in addition to those required by local, state or federal land use, health, or environmental regulations. Bonus densities shall not be allowed for site design proposal that merely reflect mandatory requirements of local, state and federal codes or regulations. Consideration shall be given to, but not necessarily limited to, the following criteria:
(a) 
Preservation of Natural, Historical and Cultural Features. Items for consideration under this criterion include the preservation and minimum disturbance of natural features and wildlife habitat; preservation of unique historical or cultural features; preservation of open space; and preservation of scenic resources.
(b) 
Public Service and Facility Availability. Items for consideration under this criterion include the provision of public park or other public facilities and/or sites; bicycle and pedestrian pathway systems; public transit access to the site; and special site design for special needs residents.
(c) 
Energy Efficiency. Items for consideration under this criterion include preservation of solar access; south orientation with added glazing for inhabited structures; the use of landscaping and topography for windbreaks and shading; common wall construction; the use of solar energy systems either passive or active for heating and/or cooling; energy conserving design of roadways and other structures; and higher insulation levels.
(d) 
Public Recreation Facilities. Items for consideration under this criterion include provision for public recreational features such as active play areas, passive open space areas, golf courses, and bicycle and pedestrian pathway systems.
(e) 
Environmental Design. Items for consideration under this criterion include on-site designs providing regional benefits, including drainage control using natural drainage and landscaped drainage retention facilities; flood control measures, particularly those measures serving regional needs; significant public access provided to designated potential open space or park areas, shoreline areas, trails, scenic sites and viewpoints; provision for substantial and exceptional landscape treatment; preservation of habitat identified for threatened and endangered species; and the use of recycled materials and resource conserving designs.
(f) 
Affordable Housing. Items for consideration under this criterion include the provision of a mix of housing types, use of townhouses or other common wall construction techniques directed toward providing a reasonable mix or diversity of bona fide affordable housing opportunities for the community. For the purposes of this section, and consistent with Policy No. 6.1 of the County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County (as amended by County Resolution No. 112-94), "affordable housing" means housing units available for purchase or rent to individuals or families with a gross income between the federally recognized poverty level and the median income for working families in Jefferson County; with costs, including utilities, that do not exceed 30 percent of gross income (RCW 43.185B.010). Bonus densities will also be allowed for projects providing low-income housing in market rate developments. In such developments and other developments seeking bonus densities for the provision of low-income housing opportunities, the amount of bonus will be linked to the level of affordability (i.e., the lower the cost or rental rate per unit, the greater the bonus afforded to the development). Density bonuses for low-income housing projects will be granted only where all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) 
The developer must agree to sell or rent the units to qualifying residents (i.e., only low-income and very low-income households);
(ii) 
The developer must ensure the continued affordability of the units by qualified residents for a minimum of 20 years through the use of restrictive covenants or other deed restrictions approved by the county; and
(iii) 
The units must be of an innovative design and compatible with the existing character of the surrounding area, with adequate assurances that such design and compatibility will be maintained throughout the 20-year period.
(g) 
Provision of Innovative Design. Items for consideration under this criterion include the provision of innovative design elements similar to, but not limited to, those described in JCC § 18.15.515(2).
(h) 
Other suitable items believed by the county to be worthy of consideration may also be included as bonus density criteria.
(Ord. 8-06 § 1; Ord. 14-18 § 4 (Exh. B))
(1) 
The following development standards may be modified in approving a PRRD application:
(a) 
Building setbacks;
(b) 
Height of buildings or structures, not to exceed 40 feet;
(c) 
Lot size;
(d) 
Lot width; and any other standards contained in Chapter 18.30 JCC.
(2) 
Standards that may not be modified or altered are:
(a) 
Shoreline regulations when the property is located in an area under the jurisdiction of the Jefferson County Shoreline Master Program;
(b) 
Standards pertaining to development within critical areas as set forth in Chapter 18.22 JCC, Critical Areas;
(c) 
Regulations pertaining to nonconforming legal structures and uses as set forth in JCC § 18.20.260; and
(d) 
Regulatory standards and requirements of the Jefferson County health department, Washington State Department of Health, and Washington State Department of Ecology pertaining to the provision of potable water and wastewater disposal.
(3) 
Criteria for Approval of Alternative Development Standards. Approval of alternative development standards for PRRDs differs from the variance procedure described in Article IX of Chapter 18.40 JCC in that rather than being based upon hardship or unusual circumstance related to a specific property, the approval of alternative development standards proposed by a PRRD shall be based upon the criteria listed in this Article VI-M. In evaluating a planned development that proposes to modify the development standards of the underlying zoning district, the hearing examiner shall consider and base its findings upon the ability of the proposal to satisfy the following criteria:
(a) 
The proposed PRRD shall be compatible with surrounding properties, especially as relates to the following:
(i) 
Landscaping and buffering;
(ii) 
Public safety;
(iii) 
Site access and circulation;
(iv) 
Architectural design of building and harmonious use of materials;
(b) 
The unique characteristics of the subject property;
(c) 
The arrangement of buildings and open spaces as they relate to various uses within or adjacent to the PRRD;
(d) 
Visual impact of the PRRD upon the surrounding area;
(e) 
Improvements proposed in connection with the PRRD;
(f) 
Preservation of unique natural features of the property; and
(g) 
The public benefit derived by allowing the proposed alteration of development standards.
(Ord. 8-06 § 1; Ord. 14-18 § 4 (Exh. B))
The following criteria are the minimum measures by which each proposed PRRD will be considered:
(1) 
PRRDs shall be given preliminary approval, including preliminary approval subject to conditions, upon finding by the hearing examiner that all of the following have been satisfied:
(a) 
The proposed PRRD conforms to:
(i) 
The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan;
(ii) 
All provisions of this code that are not proposed for modification; and
(iii) 
Any other provisions of local, state or federal regulations, policies or plans, except those standards proposed for modification;
(b) 
Utilities and other public and private services necessary to serve the needs of the PRRD shall be made available, including:
(i)

Potable water;
(v) 
Transit facilities;
(vi) 
Wastewater disposal;
(vii) 
Parks and playgrounds;
(viii) 
Schools; and
(ix) 
Sidewalks and other improvements that assure safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school;
(c) 
The probable significant adverse environmental impacts of the proposed PRRD, together with any practical means of mitigating such adverse impacts, have been considered and a determination issued that such adverse impacts can be mitigated in accordance with Article X of Chapter 18.40 JCC and the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW;
(d) 
Approving the proposed PRRD will serve the public use and interest and adequate provision has been made for the public health, safety and general welfare;
(e) 
The proposed PRRD satisfies the criteria set forth in this Article VI-M, as applicable; and
(f) 
The proposed PRRD will be superior to or more innovative than conventional development and will provide greater public benefit than that which would be available through the use of conventional zoning and/or development standards.
(2) 
Notwithstanding the approval criteria set forth in subsection (1) of this section, in accordance with RCW 58.17.120, as now adopted and hereafter amended, a proposed PRRD may be denied because of flood, inundation or swamp conditions. Where any portion of the proposed PRRD lies within both a flood control zone, as specified by Chapter 86.16 RCW, and either the one percent flood hazard area or the regulatory floodway, the county shall not approve the PRRD unless:
(a) 
The applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the hearing examiner that no feasible alternative exists to locating lots and building envelopes within the one percent flood hazard area; and
(b) 
It imposes a condition requiring the applicant to comply with critical area provisions of Chapter 18.22 JCC and any written recommendations of the Washington State Department of Ecology. In such cases, the administrator shall issue no development permit associated with the proposed PRRD until flood control problems have been resolved.
(3) 
Preliminary approval of a PRRD does not constitute approval to obtain any building permits or begin construction of the project.
(Ord. 8-06 § 1; Ord. 14-18 § 4 (Exh. B))
(1) 
An application for preliminary PRRD approval shall be processed according to the procedures for Type III decisions established in Chapter 18.40 JCC.

(5) 
In addition to review under all requirements of Chapter 18.35 JCC, based on comments from county departments and applicable agencies, the hearing examiner shall review the proposal subject to the criteria contained in this Article VI-M, and shall approve any such proposal only when consistent with all the provisions of this article.
(Ord. 8-06 § 1)
To ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with the proposed design and the conditions of project approval, prior to final approval, the hearing examiner shall require that the applicant enter into written agreement with the county, which agreement shall constitute CC&Rs binding upon all future purchasers, tenants and occupants of the PRRD. Recordation of a signed PRRD agreement shall be a precondition to final approval of the PRRD. The PRRD agreement may include as applicable, and without limitation, the following:
(1) 
An adequate guarantee providing for the permanent preservation, retention and maintenance of all reserve tracts (i.e., open space or agricultural) or public areas;
(2) 
Where a reserve tract(s) is to be protected against building development, the applicant shall convey to the county an easement over such areas restricting the area against any future building or use except as consistent with providing open space for the aesthetic and recreational enjoyment of the surrounding residences, or providing an area permanently reserved for agricultural uses, as applicable;
(3) 
The care and maintenance of reserve tracts shall be assured by establishment of an appropriate management organization for the project;
