(SEPA Water Policies) StWATION The proposed contract rezone has been reviewed with the provisions of the Everett General Plan and the Everett Zoning Code. Testimony and evidence of all parties have been considered. Based upon all of this input, it is my impression that the site can be developed with a B-1 use for a convenience store with the amenities allowed in my recommendation. The main objections to the contract rezone were the lack of parking, the excessive traffic, and the lack of demand of such a facility. The Applicant has presented a parking plan that proposes fourteen spaces. Of these fourteen spaces, eleven are projected to be for customers while three are for employees. It is noted that these spaces do not include the parking spaces near the gas island. Although this appears to be, at the very minimum, adequate parking, the removal of one of the gas pump islands on-site and the removal of the car wash will allow additional parking to be developed on-site. This will effectively create a safer area within the site to park the vehicles, will reduce the amount of on-site traffic circulation, and will provide alternative spaces to park other than adjacent to the load and unload area near the southeastern corner of the site. As testified to by witnesses who are involved in the convenience store business, there is a demand for parking at these facilities. In fact, the property immediately to the west of this property is developed with a convenience store. The owner of the property and the lessee of the property testified that there is a constant demand for parking at this type of facility. This testimony implies that there is adequate demand for the services of the convenience store to support and allow for the develcpmer t—of this proposal. With the removal of the car wash and one of the gasa],ir}r,. pumps, this site will definitely have sufficient parking to meet the demands.
