A map of eligible areas, the resolution and request form are available on www.mykitsap.org or at the Kitsap County Courthouse in Port Orchard. If the requests meet the above criteria, they will be considered in the creation of any land use alternatives using additional review criteria outlined in the resolution.

The evaluation of accepted requests will occur during the months of April and May and those that are found to meet these review criteria may be included in land use alternatives for the 10-Year Review and Update. These alternatives will be available on the www.mykitsap.org webpage and at alternative workshops on the following dates:

Alternative Workshops

• May 15 – NK (Kingston Jr. High School, Commons)
• May 18 – CK (KC Fairgrounds, Presidents Hall)
• May 24 – SK (Givens Center, Kitsap Room)

All workshops held 6 – 9 p.m.

Land Use Reclassification Requests that are not found to meet review criteria may not be included in the alternatives but may be reconsidered by the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners during a public hearing process in September and October.
