3. Circumstances related to the subject property and the area in which it is located have <br /> changed sufficiently since the adoption of the Land Use Element to justify a change to the <br /> proposed land use designation. Specifically: (1) ECC has identified the need for future <br /> expansion based on student growth projections and (2) the expansion area has become available <br /> to the College, or been purchased, so than needed expansion could be carried out in an <br /> predicable, orderly manner over the coming years. (Findings 2, 3, 12, 13, 14 and 15) <br /> 4. The proposed land use designation is in the community's best interest. (Findings 1, 2, 3, <br /> 7 and 18) <br /> 5.

(Finding 22) <br /> 6. The Master Plan expansion will not create pressure to change the land use designation of <br /> other properties in the vicinity.

(Findings 21, 22 and 23) <br /> 9. The rezone bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety and welfare by <br /> providing for additional higher educational needs while mitigating impacts. (Findings 2, 3 and 7 <br /> 10. The amendment to the land use map rezone promotes the best long term interests of the <br /> Everett community by providing a long term plan and framework for meeting the higher <br /> education needs of the Everett community, while mitigating impacts to the immediate vicinity. <br /> (Findings 6, 8, 10, 11, 16, 17, 19, 20 and 23) <br /> 11.
