Development Standard to reduce energy and maintenance costs in the operation of the project in reaching a passive house/net-zero standard. With extra insulation, solar panels, LED lighting fixtures, centralized water heating, energy efficient windows, low-flow plumbing fixtures and Ultra-High Efficient heating systems, the project will achieve the high standards. (exhibit 1, staff report, pages 15 and 16; testimony of Ms. McCrary) 45. Adequate streets in the general area are available to serve the proposed use. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 15; exhibit 16, comments from agencies and city departments, page 2; testimony of Ms. McCrary) 46. Utilities that are to be installed will be similar to those of a typical multi-family development. Utilities and the public services to serve the intended residents at the proposed facility are currently available to the site. The Snohomish County Health District submitted that it has no objection to the proposed housing project, provided the facility is served by City water and sewer. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 15; exhibit 16, comments from agencies and city departments, pages 1, 2 and 10; testimony of Ms. McCrary) 47. The PUD #1 will provide electrical service to the site. PUD #1 submitted while it has sufficient electrical system capacity to serve the proposed development, the existing facilities in the area may require upgrading. The existing PUD facilities in this location may need modification or relocation at the expense of CHS. (exhibit 16, comments from agencies and city departments, page 11) 48. Public services, including police and fire services, are available to the site. Public service needs are anticipated at a slightly higher rate because of the homeless population at the site. The City, however, stated that "given the current level of public services already used by this population, a decrease in overall community public services is expected with the stability of the permanent housing". (exhibit 1, staff report, page 15; testimony of Ms. McCrary) 49. The Fire Department submitted a list of requirements for the development of the site as proposed. These requirements have been incorporated as part of the conditions of approval for this project. (exhibit 16, comments from agencies and city departments, page 4) 50. According to the City and CHS, few, if any, residents of the facility will own or drive vehicles. This will result in a low traffic generation for the proposed use. Traffic will occur with employees traveling to and from work. Based on a traffic study submitted by CHS, approximately 20 daily trips will occur, of which four would occur during the PM peak hours. The Traffic Impact Analysis (exhibit 14) included recommendations for the installation of a stop sign at the driveway intersection to Berkshire Drive for the traffic leaving the site. As previously noted, a traffic light is located at the intersection of Evergreen Way and
