Berkshire Drive which facilitates access onto the major transportation corridor. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 16; exhibit 14, traffic impact analysis; testimony of Ms. McCrary) 51. The conditions, as set forth herein and as recommended by the Public Works Department, mitigate impacts caused by the proposed facility. 52. The parking standard pursuant to EMC 19.34.020.6.1.f sets forth a requirement for one parking space per four units. Calculating this formula to the proposed development of subject property, 18 off-street parking spaces are required. CHS submitted plans to provide 21 off-street parking spaces. Three of those parking spaces are located in a utility easement. Even without these three parking spaces that are not guaranteed forever, the facility would still have 18 off-street parking spaces. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 16; testimony of Ms. McCrary) 53. Pedestrian circulation and public safety will be provided by the construction of a new five-foot wide sidewalk along the north side of Berkshire Drive. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 16; testimony of Ms. McCrary) 54. The building on-site is proposed to be four stories tall or approximately 50 feet to the main roof peak and approximately 60 feet to the top of the stair tower roof peak. However, because of its limited southern exposure, there will be minimal shading impact on the surrounding properties, and that impact will be mostly limited to morning shading of the commercial properties to the west along Evergreen Way. The proposed building will be set back at least 20 feet from Berkshire Drive. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 17; exhibit 6, building elevations and floor plans; testimony of Ms. McCrary) 55. Increases in building heights up to 75 feet for commercial properties adjacent to the site along Evergreen Way, which promotes mixed commercial/residential uses, were approved in the Evergreen Way Redevelopment Plan dated April 18, 2012. The residential neighborhood south of Berkshire Drive includes one to two-story single-family residential properties. West of the site are single- story commercial properties along Evergreen Way. To the north of the site is an existing five-story Fire Department training structure which provides for a large vacant land area from the site to the three-story apartment building on Highway Place. To the east is the Reservoir No. 3 and a golf course. To the southwest, there are more one to two-story residential properties. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 17; testimony of Ms. McCrary) 56. The proposed four-story building on-site will be compatible with allowable heights for the adjacent Evergreen Way parcels, as well as the adjacent five- story structure that is part of the Everett Fire Department's training facility. The proposed building is oriented on a north-south axis and will have less exposure to the single-family neighborhood to the south. There will be a landscape buffer 13;3—'2)
