Tacoma-based company plans to build two apartment buildings on Salmonberry Road
PORT ORCHARD — A Tacoma-based company is planning to build two apartment buildings that will provide 24 new residential apartments in total on Salmonberry Road in Port Orchard, according to documents filed to the City of Port Orchard.
The proposed project includes two 3-story apartment buildings, vehicle parking areas, bike storage and yard spaces. Each floor will have four units. One building is designed to provide two-bedroom units, which range from 975 square feet to 1031 square feet per unit, and the other would offer one-bedroom units, with a unit size between 658 square feet to 681 square feet, documents submitted to the city showed.
The size of the project is about 1.2 acres and the site is zoned Commercial Mixed Use, according to city documents.
Permit applications related to the project were submitted to the city. On Jan. 6, the City of Port Orchard issued a determination of nonsignificance announcement for the project, meaning that the proposed project doesn't have a probable adverse impact on the environment and that an environmental impact statement is not required.
Family Legacy Development LLC, a company based in Tacoma, is listed as the owner of the Salmonberry Road Apartments project. The company bought the parcel on 1695 Southeast Salmonberry Road in 2020 for $170,000, according to county documents. The land is located east of the intersection of Bethel and Salmonberry Road and south of Walmart on Bethel Road. Expecting more traffic generated by a growing population in South Kitsap, the city of Port Orchard is planning to build a roundabout at the intersection as part of its plans to improve Bethel Road.
