"11111/4%.<10:4,111m4.2 ORDINANCE NO. 2525-01 An Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 1672-89, as amended, (Title 19 EMC), Amending the Text of the Zoning Code, for the MM (Business Park) Zone Providing Reduction in Setback Standards and Allowing Up to 20% of Items Sold to be Produced Off-Site. WHEREAS, the City Council finds: 1. The City of Everett adopted a new Zoning Code in 1989, which established an MM zone (Business Park) Zone to be used for office parks and light manufacturing; and 2. The MM zone requires a 50 foot setback from residentially zoned areas; and 3. The MM zone further requires that 100 percent of all goods sold on site be produced on site; and 4. The Planning Commission held a public workshop on February 6, 2001 and a public hearing on March 6, 2001, and recommended that the City Council approve revisions to the text on the MM zone; and WHEREAS, the City Council concludes: 1. Planning Commission has recommended two revisions to the MM Zone text including reduction of the setback requirement from 50 feet to 25 feet and allowance for up to 20 percent of goods sold by businesses located in MM zoned areas to be produced off-site; and 2. The changes to the text of the MM zone as provided herein would benefit affected property owners located inside the MM zone but would not negatively affect those residential property owners whose land abuts MM zoned areas; and 3. The amendments proposed to the Zoning Code are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Everett Comprehensive Plan; bear a substantial relation to public health, safety or welfare; and promote the best long term interests of the Everett community.
