EMC Title 15, Local Project Review Procedures Page 93 of 94 <br />The Everett Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 4031-24, passed May 22, 2024. <br />erroneous assumptions or new information should be described in detail to enable the <br />planning commission and city council to find that the land use designation should be <br />changed. <br />4. Does the proposed land use designation promote a more desirable land use pattern for <br />the community as a whole? If so, a detailed description of the qualities of the proposed <br />land use designation that make the land use pattern for the community more desirable <br />should be provided to enable the planning commission and city council to find that the <br />proposed land use designation is in the community’s best interest. <br />5. Should the proposed land use designation be applied to other properties in the vicinity? <br />If so, the reasons supporting the change of several properties should be described in detail. <br />If not, the reasons for changing the land use designation of a single site, as requested by <br />the proponent, should be provided in sufficient detail to enable the planning commission <br />and city council to find that approval as requested does not constitute a grant of special <br />privilege to the proponent or a single owner of property. <br />6. What impacts would the proposed change of land use designation have on the current <br />use of other properties in the vicinity, and what measures should be taken to assure <br />compatibility with the uses of other properties in the vicinity? <br />7. Would the change of the land use designation sought by the proponent create pressure <br />to change the land use designation 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 />E. Comprehensive Plan Policies. The following factors shall be considered in reviewing proposed <br />amendments to comprehensive plan policies. <br />1. Have circumstances related to the subject policy changed sufficiently since the adoption <br />of the plan to justify a change to the subject policy? If so, the circumstances that have <br />changed should be described in detail to support the proposed amendment to the policy. <br />2. Are the assumptions upon which the policy is based erroneous, or is new information <br />available that was not considered at the time the plan was adopted, that justify a change to <br />the policy? If so, the erroneous assumptions or new information should be described in <br />detail to support the proposed policy amendment.
