Find.ings and Decision of the Hearing Examiner of. the City of Everett RE: AA-1-86 Page 3 9. The City hau recommended denial of the allowance for the Appellar.ts to seek a variance because of: 1. All lots must meet zoning code requirements per Section 4.d.3. 2. The existing zoning for the site R-1 which requires each lot to have a minimum area of 7,000 square feet. The proposal does not meet this requirement. 3. Section S.c.2. allowe existing structures to be non-conforming as long as all lot requirements are met. CONCLUSIONS 1. The appeal is for an appeal of the Everett Planninq Department'a administrative decision prohibiting the Appellants from seeking a varianc4 for the purpose of allowing substandard lots in a two ' lot short plats on property-located at 7901 Beverly Boulevard, Everett, Washington. - 2. The residences that exi�t on the subject property are nun-conforming in nature. With a proposed short plat there will be no increase - in density, lot coverage, or any other factor that will impact the property or other properties•_ in the area. 3. Other properties in the area are substandard fur lot size. If a _ variance were granted the lots created would not be in conflict with the size of other lots in the vicinity. -- 4. Section 6.a.1. allows Appellants to make an application for vari- ances from the lot requirements as set forth in Section S.c.14. However, it is not an all inclusive ordinance and the Appellants are not pnohibited from seeking other variances. 5. Ordinance llla-85 Section 5.c.2. requires that division of land -. with existing structures must comply with all zoning requirements including setbacks, parkinq requirements, and height standards. The section does allow structures to remain non-conforming and does allow the subdivision of land as long as the division does not make structures more non-conforming. The proposed subdivision of the Appellants will not make the subject property or the two new lots more non-conforming. DECISION Based upon the preceding Findings of Fact and Conclusions, the testimony and evidence submitted at the public hearing, and upon th? impressions
