The City of Port Orchard Planning Commission will hold a Public Hearing on May 6, 2025, at 6:00 PM to discuss the 2025 Comprehensive Plan amendment package.

Another significant proposal seeks to reclassify 13 parcels from Light Industrial to Residential 3, indicating a shift towards Medium-Density Residential zoning.
