The City of Port Orchard is currently processing a public notice for the McCormick North Village Residential West Preliminary Plat, which proposes to subdivide a 9. 63-acre parcel into 80 residential lots and 17 tracts. The application, filed by Contour Engineering's Patrick Hopper, underwent a technical completeness review and is now open for public comments until March 15, 2024. A Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was previously issued for the project, ensuring that it does not pose significant environmental risks. This initiative is part of a broader development effort in the McCormick North area, which includes both residential and commercial components.

The City encourages community involvement, allowing residents to comment and appeal the decision made by the Hearing Examiner after an open record hearing. Interested individuals can view the application file by scheduling an appointment with the Department of Community Development. This engagement is vital for fostering transparency and ensuring that local voices are heard in the planning process. Overall, this notice represents a critical step in shaping the future of residential development in Port Orchard.
