9800 EVERGREEN WAY REVII 018 - 023 Land Use Decision Documents 2025-04-15

repair use but now proposed as an independent business providing auto repair. In summary, this Narrative provides credible support to justify the auto repair use (Vehicle Related Uses/Maintenance, service light) as a nonconforming change of use. Also, how the Narrative responds to the criteria of City, State, and Federal Code is provided. In conclusion, if the owner of the property had applied for a business license for auto repair use —though possibly not necessary at time for the zone—before the adoption and enactment of the E-1 MOU zone this application would not be necessary. However that opportunity was not realized as there was no tenant just prior to the time of the rezone. The current tenant must meet the requirements to operate a business offering auto repair use. The City certified the Warehouse use as Non-conforming for the current zoning district. Current zoning for Evergreen Way— with an overlay addressing the Swift Transit corridor is E-1 MOU. The proposed auto repair service is listed in Chapter 19.05 USE TABLES/Table 5.2/ Nonresidential uses /vehicle related uses, but is excluded from E-1 MOU zone. Auto repair falls into the Maintenance, service (light) The EMC-1 defines it as a "business which services, maintains or repairs automobiles and small trucks, excluding vehicle body work and painting, and also excluding sale of motor fuel to the public". This application serves to demonstrate reason to grant a nonconforming use change. We believe we have demonstrated in the Narrative that the Criteria for a NCU change has been met. Through the Narrative we have shown— through its history and the buildings uses— to be compatible with the other business auto repair uses in close proximity. Those businesses front Evergreen Way, but not Mac's Auto. Rather it sits behind a building housing a community church fronting the highway. 13 RPLA• 8218 210T"Place SW, Edmonds,WA 98026• Email: RUBENKONIGPLA@MSN.COM/•Cell Phone:206-491-9621
