FINDINGS OF FACT General Findings 1. Two applications have been filed in this matter. The first, an application filed by the City of Everett, is for a preliminary plat approval of a three-lot short subdivision of a 21.61-acre parcel commonly identified as Reservoir No. 3. The second application is a request of CHS to develop Lot 3 of the short subdivision as a residential facility with on-site supportive services for chronically homeless individuals. The facility would be four stories in height and approximately 43,783 square feet. It would have a minimum of 18 off-street parking spaces. In addition to these requests, the City requested a landscape modification that would provide an alternative to the landscaping requirements as set forth in the Everett Municipal Code (EMC). The entire 21.61-acre site is commonly known as 6107 Berkshire Drive, Everett, Washington. Because the two proposals involve the same property, they were consolidated and required a hearing before the Everett Hearing Examiner. (exhibit 1, staff report, pages 1 and 2; exhibit 5, site and landscaping plan, pages 1 and 2) 2. The entire parcel that is subject to the short subdivision process is a 21.6 acre parcel identified as Reservoir No. 3. It is the intent of the City to subdivide Reservoir No. 3 into three lots. One of the lots (Lot 3) would be transferred to CHS for the development of the project as set forth above. Lot 2 would be expanded to segregate the property on which the Alderwood Water District pump station is located. The remaining 19.57 acres would be Lot 1 and would continue to be used for water utility purposes and an Everett Fire Department training site. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 1; testimony of Ms. Weldon) 3. The zoning of the entire parcel is R-1, Single-Family Detached Low Density, and the Comprehensive Plan designation is 2.8, Public/Quasi-Public Facilities. These designations have been established by the City of Everett. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 2; testimony of Ms. Weldon) 4. The site has historically been developed with public uses, including a City of Everett water reservoir— Reservoir No. 3, and a City of Everett Fire Department training facility, including a five-story training tower. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 2, testimony of Ms. Weldon) 5. Surrounding properties have varied zoning designations and uses: The properties to the north are zoned Commercial, Multi-Family, Golf Course/E-1, R-3, R-1; the properties to the south are zoned Commercial, Single-Family/E-1, MUO, R-2; the properties to the east are zoned R-1/Golf Course; and the properties to the west are zoned Commercial/E-1/MUO.
