EVALUATION FOR AGENCY USE ONLY • East — a mixture of single-family dwellings (R-4 zone, outside HO) and beyond Rucker Ave. with fire station and commercial businesses. Allowance of the east portion of the Subject Site to be rezoned and the historic overlay lifted, would allow the four proposed 3-story multi -family structures to act as a transitional residential zone between the single-family to the west and the 5-story multi -family to the southeast. Development Agreement Housing Hope proposes establishing a Development Agreement that would be consistent with applicable development regulations, ensure that historic features and project components enhance and compliment the neighborhood. The Development Agreement would be prepared by the City giving consideration to components recommended by Housing Hope. The Sequoia Upper Field Multi -family Housing development, proposed by Housing Hope benefits the City of Everett in that it provides low-income family housing with the focus of homeless families of students within the Everett School District as a priority. Through the proposed comprehensive plan amendment, concurrent rezone, and removal of the HO (R-3 rezone area), the desired density of the project can be achieved while respecting the design intent of the historic overlay, and it would become a viable project that Housing Hope may pursue. The agreement would include conditions of approval. Proposed conditions of City approval of the comprehensive plan and zoning code amendments include: 1. Plan Approval. Development of the property is allowed only upon review and approval of a site plan and design standards by the City Council. Exhibit __ is a conceptual site plan and exterior elevation plans.
