Pleasant Harbor MPR Draft Development Agreement

The proposed Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort (MPR) development agreement is an agreement between the Pleasant Harbor MPR developer and Jefferson County on how the resort development and operation will proceed over the term of the agreement.  In 2008, when the County originally designated a master planned resort at this location in Brinnon, it passed Ordinance 01-0128-08, which has thirty specific conditions that development of the Pleasant Harbor MPR must meet. Much of the development agreement addresses how the resort will meet those 30 requirements. The development agreement includes 31 attachments, which detail how the developer will properly manage natural, wildlife and cultural resources, provide local economic opportunities, and support or provide services. Consultations with area tribes and with other local and state agencies helped refine many of the development agreement’s attached management plans. The consultation process with affected tribes continues.

The development agreement (made up of the agreement and thirty-one attachments), the staff report and proposed ordinance are available for public review HERE. 

Pleasant Harbor MPR Draft Development Regulations

In 2016, the Jefferson County Planning Commission recommended Pleasant Harbor MPR zoning regulations for consideration by the Board of County Commissioners. The Planning Commission’s 2016 recommended zoning regulations and its findings of fact, recommendations and conclusions, as well as a Planning Commission letter, are available for public review HERE.

The staff-proposed revisions to the Planning Commission’s zoning regulations for clarity and consistency with state and local regulations. The Board is considering adoption of Pleasant Harbor MPR Regulations in Summer 2018.
