EXHIBIT 2 <br />CUNNINGHAM <br /> <br />Page 11 of 31 <br /> <br />Application: Cunningham – Driveway access Report Date: 7/13/2023 <br />Applicant: Mary Cunningham Location: Alley lots citywide <br />REQUEST: Amend EMC 19.34.110(B). and EMC 13.16.050(F) to prohibit driveway <br />access from the street on alley lots when access is existing or feasible <br />from the alley, and/or when a previous or current property owner has <br />constructed improvements that preclude future driveway access from <br />the alley and proposed parking is not required by Title 19 EMC. <br /> <br />REVIEW CONSIDERATIONS <br />Are the application materials complete and sufficient to make and support a decision? <br />The application is complete and supporting materials are included. The environmental <br />checklist would likely be sufficient, with some refinement, to support a threshold <br />determination and city council decision on its own. <br /> <br />Is there a reasonable chance of approval? <br />The application materials address consistency of this zoning change with the existing <br />comprehensive plan and with the relevant criteria in Chapter 15.03 EMC. Staff review of <br />these and other considerations find a reasonable chance of approval. <br /> <br /> <br />Unified Development Code Text Amendment Criteria – EMC 15.03.300(C)(4) <br />a. The proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Everett <br />comprehensive plan; and <br />b. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health, safety or welfare; and <br />c. The proposed amendment promotes the best long-term interests of the Everett community. <br />Staff comments: Based on an initial review, the requested amendments will likely be consistent with <br />the above criteria in Chapter 15.03 EMC and the comprehensive plan. <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION/MOTION: <br />Planning staff recommendation: advance the request for further analysis and consideration in the <br />periodic update. <br /> <br />Planning Commission recommendation: advance the request for further analysis and consideration in <br />the periodic update. <br />NEXT STEPS <br />The applicant will be signed up to the project’s mailing list and is strongly encouraged to follow the <br />periodic update process at everettwa.gov/2044 and via other methods identified in the Everett 2044 <br />Public Participation Plan.
