Ordinance 2322-98 - Laserfiche WebLink

4. The concerns of businesses and property owners related to allowing housing, and the City's development standards for housing in the subject area, have changed since a previous rezone for a portion of the subject area was considered and denied in 1995, and the increase in parking requirements for housing in the C-2 zone will ensure adequate off-street parking for multiple family dwellings to be built in the C-2 zone; and 5. WHEREAS, the development standards proposed for multiple family housing in the subject C-2 zoned area, with the exception of off-street parking, are consistent with those the C-1, B-3, R-5 and R-4 zones in the vicinity; and 6. WHEREAS,the proposed code amendment applies uniformly to all C-2 zoned properties in the area, unlike the previous rezone in 1995 which would have only applied to one C-2 zoned property. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EVERETT Does Ordain: Section 1. Section 3 of Ordinance# 2307-98 (EMC 19.15.020), which reads: 15.020 Calculation of permitted number of dwelling units. The intent of this section is to implement the Everett Comprehensive Plan by regulating the permitted density of multiple family housing in various zone districts. A. Density Standards. The maximum number of multiple family dwelling units permitted in each zone shall be as provided by the density standard listed in Table#15-1. The total lot area is divided by the density standard indicated below to determine the permitted maximum number of dwellings on the lot. See Section 37.190.0 for lots with environmentally sensitive areas. Compliance with other requirements of this Title or other City development standards, such as Environmentally Sensitive Area regulations or surface water requirements, may have the effect of reducing the total number of dwellings that can be built on a site. Achievable density may also be limited by site size, configuration and project design. A project applicant may not be able to achieve the full number of dwelling units that is permitted by the density standards of this Section.
