3. An increase in the problems of traffic circulation; 4. A reduction in approved open space, off-street parking, loading zones, right-of- way or pavement width. B. Changes in uses, rearrangement of lots, blocks, buildings, tracts or changes in the provision of common open space and changes other than listed above shall be reviewed by the city council following a recommendation from the review authority. Such amendments may be made only if they are shown to be in the best long term interests of the community. (Ord. 1671-89 (part), 1989.) CONCLUSIONS BASED ON FINDINGS 1 . On February 20, 1980, the Everett City Council passed an ordinance amending the zoning map of the City of Everett with a rezone of property at 220 - 98th Place SE, Everett, Washington. With the rezone, the subject property was zoned R-1, Single- Family Low Density Planned Residential Development. The ordinance allowed a PRD that had 34 units with five duplexes and six four-plex units. Included in the PRD was a community center which was approved to be a structure of 1,088 square feet. The Applicant seeks to amend the approved PRD to allow the community center to be expanded to 3,800 square feet. (finding 1) 2. The amendments to the approved PRD are in the long term interest of the City of Everett. It would provide increased area for after school and summer programs, a shop for maintenance of the equipment in the area, and a facility consistent with Federal HUD requirements. (finding 18) 3. The impacts to the City, general area, and to the developed PRD are minimal. No parking would be lost with use of the parking space in the shop. Although there will be a loss of open space, it is miniscule when considered with the entire open space available on-site; it is less than one percent of the entire open space. Any landscaping that is disturbed would be replanted and replaced. The community garden that exists on-site would be relocated west of the structure. The facility would provide additional space for after school and summer programs for children. (findings 14, 16, 17, and 18) RECOMMENDATION Pursuant to EMC 19.32.200.B it is hereby recommended to the Everett City Council that the requested modification of a Planned Residential Development at 220 - 98th Place SE, Everett, Washington, be approved. The modification would allow for the expansion of a community center with increased area and would allow the center to be expanded to 3,800 square feet. Approval should include the following conditions: 1. The remodel and expansion of the Community Center will require City Building Permits and must meet City of Everett Building Codes. 5
