12/28/2022 Determination of Significance and Request for CommentsCITY OF BREMERTON DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE & REQUEST FOR COMMENTS ON SCOPE OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (EIS). The City of Bremerton Department of Community Development proposes to perform a city-wide periodic update of the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan as required by the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). The Comprehensive Plan is a 20-year vision and roadmap for Bremerton’s future. The plan guides City decisions on where to locate new jobs and residences, how to improve our transportation system, and where to make capital investments such as utilities, sidewalks, and parks. Our Comprehensive Plan is the framework for most of Bremerton’s big-picture decisions on how to grow. The Bremerton Department of Community Development has determined that this proposal is likely to have a significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement is required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c) and will be prepared. The EIS will evaluate a no-action alternative and three different planning alternatives. The three alternatives will evaluate geographical areas that will absorb forecasted population growth, those alternatives include: 1) Existing Centers (Downtown, Wheaton Way, Charleston, etc.) and other existing higher density zones, 2) the Low Density Residential zone, 3) A city-wide increase to density in all zones. DEADLINE FOR COMMENTS: JANUARY 27, 2023. Agencies, affected tribes, and members of the public are invited to comment on the scope of the EIS. You may comment on alternatives, mitigation measures, probable significant adverse impacts, and licenses or other approvals that may be required. Any person may submit written comments on the application by the time and date above; please email any comments to compplan@ci.bremerton.wa.us. Any person may also request to receive a copy of the decision once made, and any appeal rights. For more information please visit our webpage Bremerton2044.com.
