The City adopted a new zoning code for the B-3 (Central Business District) zone in 2006, <br /> which eliminated minimum off-street parking requirements for non-residential uses. <br /> 2. The City has become concerned about the impact of large government administrative <br /> office or public service buildings being developed without adequate off-street parking on <br /> the business community within the B-3 zone. <br /> 3. The City needs time to study this issue to properly evaluate the proper off-street parking <br /> standards. <br /> 4. The City wishes to establish an interim off-street parking standard for such uses while it <br /> conducts additional planning analysis of the off-street parking demands and needs in the <br /> B-3 zone. <br /> 5. RCW 36.70A.390 allows a local government to enact interim regulations for a period of <br /> one year. <br /> 6. The City will hold a public hearing within 60 days of the date of the adoption of this <br /> ordinance. <br /> WHEREAS, the City Council concludes the following: <br /> 1. It is in the best interests of the City to establish an interim regulation establishing an off- <br /> street parking regulation for government administrative office or public service buildings <br /> for the B-3 (Central Business District) zone. <br /> 2. RCW 36.70A.390 allows a local government to enact interim regulations to conduct <br /> planning studies to determine appropriate land use policies and regulations for areas <br /> under its jurisdiction. <br /> 3. RCW 36.70A.390 and the City of Everett Charter, Article III, authorize the Council to <br /> enact interim regulations to preserve the integrity of the planning process. <br /> 4. The City seeks to establish n interim regulation for one year to preclude the establishment <br /> of vested rights that could be incompatible with the plans, policies, and regulations that <br /> the City may adopt as a result of the planning process. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF EVERETT DOES ORDAIN: <br /> 1 <br />
