fj If the development proposes greater building height than permitted by the zone in which the property is located,does the increase in building height impact the views or privacy of abutting residentially zoned properties? Findings:Only a small portion of the five residential structures require a modification from the height requirement to allow for the pitched roof design.Comments addressing concerns over the proposed height during the public comment period were not received.The height modification does not increase potential gross square footage or added density thus does not impact privacy levels for abutting residential properties. Conclusions:The proposed development does not impact views or privacy of abutting residentially zoned properties. g) Does the proposed development result in a mix of permitted residential and commercial uses allowed by the zoning in which the property is located which would not result from compliance with the development standard s and/or design guidelines proposed to be modified? Findings:The proposed development is multiple family. Conclusions:This criterion does not apply. h) Does the proposed design mitigate the impacts that could be caused by relaxation of the standards which are proposed to be modified? Findings:The proposed locations of the residential structures are located away from the single-family residences to the north and closer to the multiple-family development to the sou h. The proposed modification does not increase the unit count or gross square footage of the structures. The modification allows the proposed design to reflect the predominant building roof configuration of the residential structures in the neighborhood. The proposed parking located between 19th Avenue SE and the structure closest to 19th Avenue SE will result in several of the dwellings having a view of the lake as this area will not be developed with a structure.The proposed location is also setback from the front property line more than twice as far as what the zoning code requires for structures adding to the streetscape with addition landscaping. Conclusions:The proposed design mitigates the impacts from the modified code standards. PLANNING DIRECTOR DECISION WETLAND BUFFER WIDTH AVERAGING RFVII 16-013 Section 19.37.110.D.of the Everett Municipal Code(EMC)states that"The city may allow buffer width averaging;provided,that the total area on the lot contained within the buffer is not less than that required within the standard buffer,and that averaging,will not reduce the wetland functions. Buffer width averaging shall not adversely impact the functions and values of the wetland.The adjusted minimum buffer width shall not be less than seventy-five percent of the standard buffer width."
