criteria specified in the preceding Land Use Policies. Consistent with Housing Policy, 1.2.3, alternatives will be examined before demolition occurs. (Findings 1, 3, 5-8, 13, 18, 22-35) 3. Circumstances related to the subject property and the area in which it is located have changed sufficiently since the adoption of the Land Use Element to justify a change to the proposed land use designation. Specifically, PEMC has evaluated patient needs, evaluated alternatives for expansion, and prepared a Master Plan. (Findings 2, 5, 8) 4. The proposed land use designation is in the community's best interest. (Findings 3, 5, 8, 10, 11, 21) 5. The approval, as requested, does not constitute a grant of special privilege to the proponent or a single owner of property because the Hospital's expansion requirements in this area are unique and will be accomplished with the proposed change. (Finding 4) 6. The change will not create pressure to change the land use designation of other properties in the vicinity. The Master Plan accommodates 25 years of anticipated growth, thereby relieving pressure to further change the surrounding area. Much of the property in the vicinity is residential. The Everett Community College plans for the athletic field property north of the PEMC will proceed independently of the change in the PEMC designation. (Findings 2, 5) Rezone Conclusions 7. The rezone is consistent with Comprehensive Plan Policies and the Comprehensive Land Use Map as amended for the reasons discussed in Comprehensive Plan Conclusion 1. 8. The Institutional Overlay zone, which will be governed by the Master Plan standards and design review, as well as other provisions of the Everett Municipal Code and the conditions set forth in Section 2 of this Ordinance, mitigate the adverse impacts upon land uses in the immediate vicinity of the subject property. (Findings 6, 7, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20) 9. The rezone bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety and welfare by providing additional capacity for health care services while mitigating impacts. (Findings 3, 5, 8, 10, 11, 21) 10. The amendment to the land use map rezone promotes the best long term interests of the Everett community by providing a long term plan and framework for meeting the health care needs of the Everett community while mitigating impacts to the immediate vicinity. (Findings 3, 5, 8, 10, 11, 21) Master Plan Conclusions 11. The Master Plan complies with the procedural and substantive requirements of EMC 19.33B. (Findings 22-35) 8
