f) What impacts would the proposed change of land use designation have on the current use of other properties in the vicinity, and what measures should be taken to assure compatibility with the uses of other properties in the vicinity? g) Would the change of the land use designation sought by the proponent create pressure to change the land use designation 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? and WHEREAS, with regard to the proposed amendment to the Land Use Map for the Frank Aurdal property located at 730 105th Street SW in the unincorporated area of Snohomish County,the City Council finds: 1. The purpose for the requested land use map amendment is to allow for the expansion of an existing auto dealership which is located on the abutting property located to the west of the subject property; 2. The designation proposed by the requested amendment to the land use map of the comprehensive plan is consistent with the locational criteria listed in the Land Use Element for the "Mixed Use Commercial Multiple Family" designation only if the subject property is combined with abutting commercially designated and zoned property which has frontage on Evergreen Way; 3. The applicant has cited the growth of the abutting auto dealership's business and the opportunity to combine the subject site with the abutting C-1 zoned (General Commercial)property a combined development site as changed circumstances since the adoption of the existing land use designation; 4. The applicant has indicated the intent of the abutting auto dealership to acquire and develop the subject lot as part of the expansion of the abutting business on a C-1 zoned site, allowing for the business to continue to grow and serve the community; 5. The land use policies of the comprehensive plan discourage speculative commercial rezoning and require that expansion of commercial land use designations into residential areas be based upon a plan integrating the existing commercial area and protecting abutting residential areas; 6. Amending the land use designation for the subject lot would not implement the policy cited above unless sufficient controls were established to require future development to be integrated into a larger development with abutting property which is already commercially zoned;
