ATTACHMENT 1 to optimize the return from the sale of property by seeking a multiple family zoning, similar to the adjacent R-4 areas, the approach proposed here is to use the "more subtle methods" of achieving density. To achieve the optimum density from the R- 1(A) zone will require a process that in the specific review will emphasize "quality and design character" of this higher density housing. The proposed redevelopment project is intended to result in owner-occupied units. The land will be a condominium development. Mechanisms can be developed to require the units to be owner-occupied. It is not being proposed as a rental development. As a consequence enabling this project will increase opportunities for home ownership. f. As required, the proposed rezone is consistent with the Everett Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use component of the Comprehensive Plan provides a Table, the relevant section of which is found on page LU-69 (a copy of which is attached as an Exhibit), identifying the "Equivalent Zoning" for the "Land Use Designation" for the land use types in the Plan. The designation of this area in the Plan is 1.3, Single Family Detached, 10-12 Dwellings per gross acre. Two Equivalent Zoning designations are provided for in the Plan for this designation, the present R-2 and the proposed R-1(A). Therefore, the proposed change is consistent with the Everett Comprehensive Plan. C. The Plan shall address the need for replacement housing, within the municipality, where existing housing is lost as a result of the community renewal project undertaken by the municipality under this chapter; This Requirement is not applicable. The Plan will result in substantially more housing than currently exists. D. The Plan may include a plan to address any persistent high levels of unemployment or poverty in the community renewal area. The Plan does not directly address unemployment or poverty in the community renewal area. Community Renewal Plan-page 22
