Standard 17.420.056 Density and Dimensions table | 33. Except for the height and density requirements reflected in Section 17.420.058, Silverdale regional center and design district density and dimension table, all development within the Silverdale design district boundaries must be consistent with the Silverdale Design Standards.
(53) Within the Gorst urban growth area, density, impervious surface coverage and height may be increased to the maximum listed in the density and dimensions table through compliance with the incentive program described in Section 17.400.080(B). |
| Minimum density (du/acre) | 1 | (3) Properties within the urban restricted (UR) zone and greenbelt (GB) may subdivide at densities below the minimum required for the zone under the following circumstances:a. The reduced density provides a greater protection for critical areas or environmentally sensitive areas; andb. The intent of the short subdivision or subdivision is to keep the property in the ownership of the immediate family members.(18) The minimum and maximum densities within the range are based upon the net acreage of the property(ies) after the removal of critical areas. In determining a development proposal's actual density within the range, the features of the subject parcel including on-site or adjacent wetlands, streams or steep slopes shall be considered first. |
| Maximum density (du/acre) | 5; up to 10 in Gorst | (18) The minimum and maximum densities within the range are based upon the net acreage of the property(ies) after the removal of critical areas. In determining a development proposal's actual density within the range, the features of the subject parcel including on-site or adjacent wetlands, streams or steep slopes shall be considered first.(53) Within the Gorst urban growth area, density, impervious surface coverage and height may be increased to the maximum listed in the density and dimensions table through compliance with the incentive program described in Section 17.400.080(B). |
| Minimum lot size | 5,800 s.f. | |
| Maximum lot size | NA | |
| Minimum lot width (feet) | 60 | |
| Minimum lot depth (feet) | 60 | |
| Maximum height (feet) | 35 | (40) Height limitations set forth elsewhere in this title shall not apply to the following: barns, silos, or other farm buildings and structures, provided they are not less than fifty feet from every lot line; chimneys, spires on places of worship, belfries, cupolas, domes, smokestacks, flagpoles, grain elevators, cooling towers, solar energy systems, monuments, fire house towers, masts, aerials, elevator shafts, and other similar projections; and outdoor theater screens, provided said screens contain no advertising matter other than the name of the theater. The proponent seeking exception to the height limitation shall certify that the object being considered under this provision will not shade an existing solar energy system which, by the determination of the director, contributes substantially to the space- or water-heating requirements of a building.(50) New or remodeled structures within the Illahee view protection overlay zone may not exceed twenty-eight feet. Kitsap County will not enforce vegetation height standards. |
| Maximum impervious surface coverage | 50% up to 55% in Gorst | (53) Within the Gorst urban growth area, density, impervious surface coverage and height may be increased to the maximum listed in the density and dimensions table through compliance with the incentive program described in Section 17.400.080(B). |
| Maximum lot coverage | 50% up to 55% in Gorst | (53) Within the Gorst urban growth area, density, impervious surface coverage and height may be increased to the maximum listed in the density and dimensions table through compliance with the incentive program described in Section 17.400.080(B). |
| Setbacks | | (34) Development abutting a street for which a
standard has been established by the Kitsap County arterial plan shall provide
a special setback from the centerline of said street or a distance adequate to
accommodate one-half of the right-of-way standard established by the arterial
plans for the street. The building setback required by the underlying zone
shall be in addition to the special setback and shall be measured from the edge
of the special setback line. The special setback area shall be treated as
additional required yard area and reserved for future street widening purposes.(48) Shoreline properties are subject to Title
22 and may have additional buffers and setbacks requirements not listed in the
density and dimension tables. Properties constrained by critical areas are subject
to Title 19 and may have additional buffers and setbacks requirements not
listed in the density and dimension tables. Cornices, canopies, eaves, belt
courses, sills, bay windows, fireplaces or other similar cantilevered features
may extend up to twenty-four inches into any required yard area. In no case
shall a habitable area be considered for encroachment into a required yard
through any land use process. Additionally, fire escapes, open/uncovered
porches, balconies, landing places or outside stairways may extend up to
twenty-four inches into any required side or rear yards. Open/uncovered
porches, balconies, landing places, or outside stairways shall not extend more
than six feet into any required front yard and shall be a minimum of five feet
from the front property line. |
| Minimum front (feet) | 20 15 - (54) Standard listed applicable to Gorst UGA only. | 29. One-hundred-foot setback required for single-family buildings abutting FRL or RW zones.41. The following exceptions apply to front yard requirements for dwellings:a. If there are dwellings on both abutting lots with front yards less than the required depth for the zone, the front yard for the lot need not exceed the average front yard of the abutting dwellings.b. If there is a dwelling on one abutting lot with a front yard less than the required depth for the zone, the front yard need not exceed a depth of halfway between the depth of the front yard on the abutting lot and the required front yard depth.c. If a modification to the front yard requirement is necessary in order to site dwellings in a manner that maximizes solar access, the director may modify the requirement.d. On lots with multiple front yards, the front yard setback(s) in which the lot does not receive access may be modified by the director. Based upon topography, critical areas or other site constraints, the director may reduce these front yard setbacks to a minimum of twenty feet for properties requiring fifty feet and ten feet for properties requiring twenty feet. The director may not modify front yard setbacks from county arterials or collectors. Such reductions shall not have an adverse impact to surrounding properties.(42) The following exceptions apply to historic lots:
a. Building setback lines that do not meet the requirements of this title but were legally established prior to the adoption of this title shall be considered the building line for alterations, remodels, and accessory structures on the lot or parcel; providing, that no structure or portion of such addition may further project beyond the established building line.
b. Any single-family residential lot of record as defined in Chapter 17.110 that has a smaller width or lot depth than that required by this title, or is less than one acre, may use that residential zoning classification that most closely corresponds to the dimension or dimensions of the lot of record, for the purpose of establishing setbacks from the property lines.
(43) Any structure otherwise permitted under this section may be placed on a lot or parcel within a required yard area if the director finds that such a location is necessary because existing sewer systems or roadways make compliance with the yard area requirements of this title impossible without substantial changes to the site. |

| Side (feet) | 5 | 29. One-hundred-foot setback required for single-family buildings abutting FRL or RW zones.(42) The following exceptions apply to historic lots:
