Patio covers in Port Townsend, WA.
Patio covers in Port Townsend should be presented with their actual roof height and footprint. Ask City staff whether the proposed structure needs a daylight-plane demonstration under the applicable zoning review.
A zoning daylight plane is a different question from how bright the seating area feels. Give the designer and City the dimensions of the actual roof and supports instead of relying only on a patio rendering.
Port Townsend acrylic patio-cover calculator.
Compare initial roof styles and dimensions while the designer and City assess the actual site and elevations.

Patio cover installation
Keep the zoning-envelope question with the cover geometry.
Have the designer show the canopy’s location, projection, roof elevations and relationship to the property lines in the project documents. Ask PCD which daylight-plane or other dimensional information is needed for the proposed work. Keep that decision with the structural and site plans. If the roof style, height or location changes, have the affected drawings reviewed before ordering the frame. The calculator can compare an initial style and size; it does not establish zoning compliance or a property-specific building envelope.
Ask which demonstration is needed.
Have City staff identify the applicable dimensional review for this proposal.
Reconcile geometry changes.
Review an altered style, height or location before fabrication.
Before work begins
Use the City’s current residential project materials.
The posted residential checklist raises daylight-plane requirements for new construction and additions. Ask PCD how the actual canopy is classified and what current drawings and reviews apply.
No plane angle, setback or allowable height is supplied here. The actual property, design and current City requirements determine the necessary assessment.
