planted along the south property line for further screening of the building, and it will include a mixture of deciduous trees ranging from 15 feet to over 35 feet in height that will provide a visual buffer from Berkshire Drive and the proposed building. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 17; exhibit 6, building elevations and floor plans, pages 1 through 8; testimony of Ms. McCrary) 57. The proposed structure will be compatible with other structures and improvements on the surrounding properties, including the size, height, location, setback and arrangements. The impact of light and shadows has been considered, and there will be no significant impact to sensitive land uses and less intensive zones. (exhibit 1, staff report, pages 16 and 17) 58. The landscaping requirement for Lot 1 is City of Everett Category B landscaping. This category includes plantings of either 10 feet of Type I, Visual Screen or 15 feet of Type II, See Through Buffer landscaping. Landscape Category B is a high category of landscaping that is intended to provide visual buffer between residential and non-residential uses with a dense row of trees, shrubs and groundcover. The City determined that no additional landscaping is • required on Lot 1 per the City's code. However, the Supportive Housing facility will have required landscaping of Landscape Category E, which is Type IV soil stabilizing vegetation which requires a minimum of lawn or other soil stabilizing plantings, including other groundcover, shrubs and trees. Type IV landscaping is a low category landscaping which applies to the entire lot. This type of landscaping typically applies to single-family zoned properties. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 17) CHS has requested landscape modification which is addressed in Findings 82 through 85 of this document. 59. The proposed facility will take approximately 12 months to construct, and during that time will generate nuisance irritants of noise and dust that are common in construction activity. The construction impacts will be mitigated by adherence to the Washington State Department of Ecology Best Management Practices for Storm Water Management. Construction hours will be limited to Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 18; testimony of Ms. McCrary) 60. Upon completion of the project there should be minimal nuisance irritants generated from the site. Outdoor activities will be limited to daytime hours, and exterior lighting will be shielded in a manner that minimizes light spillage to surrounding properties. All trash will be contained and screened within a gated enclosure. Any air emission increases would primarily be from construction vehicles during the construction. There will be no release of toxic or hazardous substances as a result of the activity on-site. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 18) 61. CHS in the Draft Management Plan set forth that residents will either walk or ride bicycles to and from the building, transit hubs and amenities along Evergreen Way. Most of the vehicular traffic will be generated from employees
