NOA PW23-001 POCECE Street Use

The City of Port Orchard has issued a public notice regarding the application for a Street Use Permit for the upcoming Port Orchard Community Events Center, located at 619 Bay Street. This project, which is currently in the design phase, seeks approval for the perpetual encroachment of the building eve and patio foundation. Community members are invited to comment on the application, but must adhere to deadlines to preserve their appeal rights. The application is part of a Planned Action project that has already undergone extensive environmental reviews, including a Final Environmental Impact Statement that addresses significant impacts. The City emphasizes the importance of public participation in the decision-making process and has established a framework for transparency.

Various subsequent permits may be required, including a Land Disturbing Activity Permit and a Building Permit. The project aligns with the Downtown Mixed Use zoning district and aims to enhance community engagement through events. The Department of Community Development is available for questions and guidance regarding the application process.
