Thanks for your patience; we've been researching the property to make sure we're properly addressing your questions due to the unpermitted work previously completed on the site. I have the following comments to address the Planning requirements at this time: • Several landscaping areas have been disturbed over time including removal of required plantings; those plantings need to be replaced. Originally this was included as a condition of the permit issued to address the unpermitted addition work on site.A Public Works permit will be required to re-open the 2nd driveway on High St; Planning is comfortable reviewing the landscaping as part of the Public Works permit instead, provided the PW permit is applied for prior to Final of the violation permit.The replacement landscaping would need to match the landscaping plans originally approved for the site however it may be best to replace in conformance with current code standards since your goals include a building addition which would likely trigger conformance at that time anyway. For reference, current landscaping requirements are identified in EMC 19.35: https://everett.municipal.codes/EMC/19.35. Permit history including previously approved plans where available can be found via the digital records center: https://www.everettwa.gov/1785/Digital-Records-Center • EMC 19.35 requires 10' of Type I perimeter landscaping along the northern property line due to the adjacent residential zone.The landscaping strip currently tapers off adjacent to the drive aisle/driveway but would need to be expanded to meet the required 10' of landscaping along the entire property line.This would need to be identified as part of the landscaping plan included with your Public Works permit request. • An addition to the retail building only would be permissible since retail is a permitted use in the zone.The building addition would be subject to all applicable code requirements of EMC Title 19, including but not limited to setbacks, building form, parking, etc. Note:since fuel sales is considered a nonconforming use at this location, any request to expand the existing fueling infrastructure (pumps, tanks, etc.) would be considered a nonconforming use expansion and require additional land use application(s)for review/approval. I have included Terri and Cindy on this email to assist you with questions regarding the Public Works permit and Building Violation permit as needed. If you have any further Planning questions, please let me know. Note:these requirements are only in relation to the land use code and do not account for all possible requirements from other departments. Please contact Permit Services at PermitServices@everettwa.gov or 425.257.8810 if you have general permitting questions. General Planning questions can be directed to the Planner On-Duty at Planninq@everettwa.gov or 425.257.8731.
