a. Everett Station Design Standards and Guidelines; and <br /> b. Building height by no more than 10%to accommodate desired roof pitch. <br /> 2. Evaluation Criteria For Modification. Any proposal to modify development standards or design guidelines shall not <br /> undermine the intent of the Everett Station Design Standards and Guidelines. The planning director shall not approve a request <br /> for modification unless the proposal provides architectural and urban design elements equivalent or superior to what would <br /> likely result from compliance with the Everett Station Design Standards which are proposed to be modified. The planning <br /> director shall consider the following criteria in evaluating proposals using this process: <br /> a. The unique characteristics of the subject property and/or its surroundings and how they will be protected or enhanced <br /> by modifying the design standards and/or guidelines. <br /> b. The positive characteristics of the proposed development and whether such characteristics could be provided by <br /> compliance with the design standards and/or design guidelines proposed to be modified. <br /> c. The arrangement of buildings and open spaces as they relate to other buildings and/or uses on the subject property and <br /> on surrounding properties. <br /> d. Visual impact to surrounding properties caused by parking facilities in the proposed development and whether such <br /> impacts are less than would result from compliance with the development standards and/or design guidelines proposed <br /> to be modified. <br /> e. If the development proposes greater building height than permitted by the zone in which the property is located, does <br /> the increase in building height impact the views of Everett Station? <br /> f. Does the proposed design mitigate the impacts that could be caused by relaxation of the standards which are proposed <br /> to be modified? <br /> 3. Appeal of Planning Director's Decision. An appeal of the planning director's decision using this process shall be <br /> reviewed by the hearing examiner in accordance with EMC Title 15, Local Project Review Procedures. Substantial <br /> weight shall be given to the decision of the planning director in considering any appeal. <br /> 17 <br />
