Site-Specific Rezones. <br /> 1. Applicable Process. The city will use Process III or V, as determined by>> Title 15 <br /> << of the Everett Municipal Code, as amended, to review and decide upon an application <br /> for a site-specific rezone. <br /> 2. Application. The owner shall submit a completed application on the form provided by <br /> the planning department, along with all the required supporting information listed on that <br /> form. <br /> 3. Types. There are two types of site-specific rezones, as provided herein. <br /> a. Nonproject. A nonproject rezone is a request for change of zone classification in <br /> which no specific development is proposed by the applicant. Conditions or restrictions <br /> may be placed upon the property and/or its development by the review authority, as <br /> necessary to mitigate the project's impacts. Such conditions or restrictions shall be set <br /> forth in the resolution or ordinance rezoning the property, which resolution or ordinance <br /> shall be recorded on the property, in the county auditor's office. <br /> b. Performance Agreement. A performance agreement rezone is a request for change of <br /> zone classification in which the applicant agrees to certain restrictions and conditions as <br /> part of the approval of the rezone request. Such conditions or restrictions shall be set <br /> forth in the resolution of intent to rezone the property, and shall be recorded on the <br /> property, in the county auditor's office, to be disclosed on title documents for the <br /> property. <br /> 4. Nonproject Rezone - Criteria. The review authority may approve an application for a <br /> nonproject rezone if it finds that: a. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Everett <br /> comprehensive plan; and <br /> b. The proposed rezone bears a substantial relation to public health, safety or welfare; <br /> and the proposed rezone promotes the best long term interests of the Everett community; <br /> and <br /> c. The proposed rezone is appropriate because either: <br /> (1) A rezone is necessary to implement the general plan, or <br /> (2) The rezone is a minor adjustment that will correct a zone boundary that was <br /> inappropriate when established by reason of <br /> placing more than one zone classification on a single property. <br /> 31 <br />
