Any conclusion below that may be construed as a finding is included here as such by this reference. WHEREAS CITY COUNCIL CONCLUDES: 1. Any finding above that may be construed as a finding is included here as such by this reference. 2. The Comprehensive Plan amendment is supported by, or consistent with, the Comprehensive Plan. Land Use Policy 2.11.4 is the policy that most specifically applies to the consideration of ECC expansion that requires the redesignation of affected commercial and residential property. In this regard, ECC has identified its expansion needs, and the City has reviewed the proposed change to the commercial and residential land use designations in the context of the City's Comprehensive Plan, consistent with Land Use Policy 2.11.4. The Comprehensive Plan amendment is also consistent with other policies which apply more generally and which the Council reads consistently with Policy 2.11.4, namely, that existing land use designations may be changed in the context of the Comprehensive Plan update. Specifically, Land Use consistent with Policy 2.1.3., refers to a condition under which a residential use, found west of Broadway, may be converted to collage use, where use College use is already well established, which it is. Following this amendment the College use will be designated on the Land Use Map in the expansion area established herein. The proposed amendment is therefore, consistent with Land Use Policy 2.1.3.,when read in conjunction with Policy 2.11.4.. Conditions of this Ordinance will require ECC expansion to be visually compatible with and minimize the parking and traffic impacts upon the residential neighborhood. Consistent with Land Use Policy 2.10.3, the City reviewed the impacts of the ECC proposal pursuant to EMC 19.33B, the review process for institutions specified by the zoning code, SEPA, and other applicable ordinances of the City. Consistent with Housing Policy 2.1.3, change from residential to college use is consistent with the criteria specified in the preceding Land Use Policies. (Findings 1, 5, 22 and 23) • 5
