ERC Narrative Statement(9) <br /> properties,which will shift ERC's "center of gravity" away from the single family <br /> areas. ERC has been a sensitive and compatible neighbor for decades. The ability to <br /> spread out its services will allow Evergreen to continue its stewardship while better <br /> serving adults and children with special needs. <br /> 7) Would the change of the land use designation sought by the proponent create pressure <br /> to change the land use designations of other properties in the vicinity? If so, would the <br /> change of land use designation for other properties be in the best long term interests of <br /> the community in general? <br /> Response: No, the proposed land use designation would not create pressure to <br /> change other designations in the vicinity. As outlined above,the subject properties <br /> are a special situation.

In order to better <br /> understand the differences between the two rezone processes, it is advised that you <br /> speak with Long Range Planning staff in advance of responding to this section. <br /> 1) Which rezone type are you seeking? <br /> Response: Development agreement rezone <br /> 2) Address your vision for how the subject property or properties would be used if the <br /> rezone were approved, and how the request, if granted, would benefit the City of <br /> Everett and its citizens. <br /> Rezone Vision: Evergreen Recovery Centers' Summit Campus <br /> Evergreen Recovery Centers has received State and private capital funding to <br /> improve its services for pregnant and parenting mothers at the subject properties. <br /> If the rezone is approved, ERC plans to develop a new facility at the west subject <br /> properties as a companion to its 2601 Summit Avenue campus located across the <br /> street at the east subject properties.The new facility will include two multi-family <br /> residential buildings and an integrated therapeutic daycare for children living at the <br /> expanded Summit campus. <br /> The residential buildings will be designed to incorporate an innovative program to <br /> allow infants going through neonatal withdrawal to be discharged with the mother <br /> rather than being separated for the first four to six weeks of their lives. ERC is <br /> working with the developers of this model at Yale and Dartmouth to create the first <br />
