EXHIBIT G — TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS <br />When a defined term changes in one section of municipal code, uses of the term elsewhere in municipal <br />code need to change along with it. Below are a few technical corrections for code consistency. <br />EMC 19.13.030 Adaptive reuse of nonresidential buildings. <br />A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to allow for adaptive reuse of nonresidential buildings in <br />residential zones that are functionally obsolete in order to improve the economic feasibility of a <br />property by considering uses that are not otherwise permitted, but which, if properly designed and <br />managed, would not create unacceptable impacts on surrounding properties or the immediate vicinity <br />in general. This process differs from the unlisted use process listed in EMC 19.05.070(B) in that uses that <br />are not specifically authorized in the underlying residential zone may be considered using the process <br />described herein. <br />B. Procedures. Any request for adaptive reuse of nonresidential buildings shall be reviewed as set forth <br />in Table 5-5 in EMC 19.05.120. If the property is outside a historic overlay zone but listed on a historic <br />register or as a contributing structure in a historic register district, the historical commission shall review <br />the proposal and make a recommendation to the review authority. <br />C. Circumstances. The city may allow a use in a residential zone that is not specifically allowed in that <br />zone if it is necessary to encourage adaptive reuse of a building under the following circumstances: <br />1. It is unlikely that the primary building on the subject property could be preserved if only uses <br />permitted in the underlying zone were allowed. <br />2. Allowing a different use would enhance the character of the building and immediate vicinity. <br />3. The use would not have a detrimental effect upon surrounding properties or the immediate <br />vicinity. <br />D. Uses. The following uses may be considered for adaptive reuse of an existing building in a residential <br />zone: <br />1. Dwelling units. Density based on underlying zoning plus one additional dwelling unit; <br />2. Assisted living facilities; <br />3. Libraries; <br />4. Museums and art galleries; <br />5. Social services facilities; <br />6. Public services; <br />7. Business incubators; <br />8. Artist studios; <br />9. Music venues; <br />10. Cafes and bistros; <br />11. Live/work units; <br />12. Bed and breakfasts; <br />13. Other uses not listed above if determined through the review process to be compatible with <br />surrounding properties and the immediate vicinity. <br />E. Review Criteria. The following criteria shall be used as the basis for determining compatibility with <br />surrounding uses and approving, denying, or conditionally approving a request to allow the adaptive <br />reuse of a nonresidential building in a residential zone: <br />MMI <br />1112 <br />EVER ETT <br />Planning Commission Resolution 22-02 <br />Homeless Shelters and Housing Code Amendments <br />Exhibit G: Technical Corrections <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
