address ranges of impacts associated with the future development of the Subject Site. Housing Hope would work with the community to address any compatibility concerns with a future project design. A community outreach plan would continue to be implemented as part of any proposal on the site. Any future project would have to meet the requirements for traffic, stormwater regulations and other zoning code requirements. The updated 2020 request [eastern portion of the Subject Site comprehensive plan map amendment to Residential, Medium Density with rezone to medium density residential (R-3 implementing zone) and removal of historic overlay, and Development Agreement for the entire site)] promotes a more desirable land use pattern for the neighborhood by achieving low-income and housing for homeless families and historically designed infill medium density housing on a transitional site, which is detailed in the SEPA Environmental Checldist. Housing Hope intends to respect the existing historic context of the Norton -Grand neighborhood through continuing community inclusion in the design process and honoring the historic commission guidelines where possible, which would be provided in a Development Agreement. Housing Hope has been hosting a series of meetings with the Neighborhood Advisory Committee (NAC) (created by Housing Hope to facilitate public outreach and communication within the neighborhood), to solicit neighbor preferences of historic design and massing through voting exercises and design charrettes. This has created opportunity for nearby residents to understand Housing Hope's mission and on -site support systems provided to its residents. As invested stakeholders, Housing Hope and the NAC have established neighborhood and project goals, discussed design features, and generated refinements of the conceptual site plan in response to the neighbors' feedback. Housing Hope is including the community in this design process to foster a sense of partnership with the neighborhood, and the resulting NAC-endorsed Concept Plan represents these collaborative efforts. Housing Hope intends to continue these neighborhood outreach meetings on a regular basis throughout the course of this comprehensive plan amendment / concurrent rezone / historic overlay removal and project ect development effort, which includes a Development Agreement. It is hoped that the community members would remain engaged with Housing Hope regarding this and other Housing Hope locations in this neighborhood. 7) Would the change of the land use designation sought by the proponent create pressure to change the land use designations of other properties in the vicinity? If so, would the change of land use designation for other properties be in the best long term interests of the community in general? Applicant Response: There would not be pressure for future changes to other properties in the vicinity based on this request. The unique nature of the Everett School District and Housing Hope partnership, and the housing provided for homeless students and their families, is geared to this particular piece of property and particular circumstances. .-1_ , a, , HOUSING Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment and Concurrent Rezone Application L _ [I HOPE Narrative Statement -- Evaluation Criteria (Revision August 2020) L - a 7l we keep hope alive Page 17
