3. Area-wide Rezones - Map Change. If the City approves a proposal to rezone land <br /> through an area-wide rezone, it will give effect to this decision by making the necessary <br /> amendment to the zoning map of the City. Such an amendment to the zoning map shall <br /> be made by the City Council adopting an ordinance which specifically describes the <br /> property being rezoned. <br /> D. Site-Specific Rezones. <br /> 1. Applicable Process. The City will use the review process as determined by the City's <br /> Local Project Review Procedures Ordinance to review and decide upon an application for <br /> a site-specific rezone. <br /> 2. 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 the applicant proposes no specific development. Conditions or restrictions may be <br /> placed upon the property and/or its development by the review authority, as necessary to <br /> mitigate the project's impacts. Such conditions or restrictions shall be set forth in the <br /> resolution or ordinance rezoning the property, which resolution or ordinance shall be <br /> 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 /> 3. Nonproject Rezone - Criteria. The review authority may approve an application for a <br /> nonproject rezone if it finds that: <br /> a. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Everett 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 /> 4. Nonproject Rezones - Implementation - Map Change. If the City approves an <br /> application for a nonproject rezone, it will give effect to this decision by adoption of an <br /> ordinance or resolution, or by adoption of an ordinance or resolution in conjunction with <br /> a development agreement between the City and the applicant, as provided in RCW <br /> 36.70B.170, to implement the rezone and make the appropriate change to the zone <br /> boundary or zone classification on the zoning map. <br /> 5. Performance Agreement Rezones - General. The purpose of the performance <br /> agreement rezone is to enable the City to apply special development standards to specific <br /> sites where the review authority feels that the application of such standards is necessary <br /> to facilitate compatibility of land uses, especially where properties in different zones abut <br /> one another or where the potential impacts of uses proposed by the applicant or permitted <br /> in the requested zone warrant the use of special development standards.
