The City of Port Angeles has recently hired a Code Compliance Officer. At this time the position is only funded as a 40% position. Recent efforts to strengthen the Environmentally Sensitive Areas Protection Ordinance has been successful and the city plans further code amendments to further strengthen the ESA Protection Ordinance. The enforcement sections of our codes are a little weak and will require political support and staff effort to strengthen. A community forestry program is being developed with the intent to increase the tree canopy cover in the city to increase stormwater interception, infiltration, and evapotranspiration. Clallam County Department of Community Development has revamped its code compliance program to include 2 Code Compliance officers and a group of active volunteers. Still, most compliance actions are limited to responding to complaints due to limited staff resources. Additional resources will help to increase compliance through active involvement in project inspection and monitoring at all stages of development. This program advances habitat protection.
