l 1. The SEIS identifies potential measures to mitigate these impacts and assure <br />compatibility with uses on other properties. PEMC, in response to public and <br />Planning Department comments, has prepared a revised "Master Plan for. the ECC <br />Property." The June 30, 2008 Staff Report identified additional changes to the <br />PEMC revised master plan to mitigate impacts. <br />12. During the public hearings conducted by the Planning Commission there was <br />testimony both supporting and opposing the proposed expansion to the ECC <br />property. <br />13. Representatives of Everett Community College testified in support of PEMC's <br />proposed expansion. The proposed land transaction between ECC and PEMC <br />will allow ECC to plan for and accommodate its long-term future growth on the <br />adjacent land in the North Broadway area that it will acquire from PEMC. ECC <br />will replace the physical education facilities currently on the ECC Prope..y with <br />new facilities closer to its current North Broadway campus. <br />14. Based on PEMC's 2007 Application, additional information presented by PEMC <br />following the June 2, 2008 Planning Commission hearing, public testimony and <br />the recommendations included in the Staff Report, expansion to the ECC Property <br />is the best alternative to meet PEMC's long-term patient needs in terms of cost, <br />timing, certainty, and operational efficiencies. <br />15. To achieve the requested land use changes, the City Council must (a) amend the <br />Comprehensive Plan land use map designation for the ECC Property from <br />College (2.2) to Hospital (2.4); (b) rezone the ECC Property from R-2 (Single <br />Family) to R-2-I (Institutional Overlay); and (c) approve PEMC's Master Plan for <br />the ECC Property, as amended with the Staff and Planning Commission <br />recommended revisions contained in Exhibit A. <br />16. The PEMC Master Plan for the ECC Property contained in Exhibit A provides a <br />plan for developing facilities to meet patient needs, including construction of a <br />Utility Building to support the hospital and medical facilities on the existing <br />
