- ' � t <br /> result of the personal inspection of the subject property and surrounding areas <br /> by the Everett Hearing Examiner, the following findings of fact and conclusions <br /> constitute the basis of the recommendation of the Everett Hearing Examiner. <br /> FINQINGS OF FACT <br /> 1. The Applicant requested approval of a Performance Agreement Rezone <br /> of a 6,U00 square foot lot at 1825 Broadway Avenue, Everett, <br /> Washington. The specific request is for a rezone from the existing R-2, <br /> Single-Family Medium Density zoning designation to a B-2, Community <br /> Business designation. As part of the rezone, the Applicant sought a <br /> m�dification of the B-2, Community Business parking standards for a <br /> 10% reduction in the required parking. The resulting parking would have <br /> 46 parking spaces instead of the required 51 parking spaces per the B-2 <br /> standards. (exhi6it 1) <br /> 2. The Everett Municipal Code (EMC) 19.41.160 identifies two types of <br /> rezones within thF :ity of Everett, namely Area-Wide Rezones and Site- <br /> Specific Rezones. The subject property is a Site-Specific Rezone. In <br /> Everett, Site-Specific Rezones are either Non-Project Rezones or <br /> Perfo�manceAgreement Rezones. The PerformanceAgreement <br /> Rezone, a request for change of a zoning classification in which the <br /> Applicant agrees to restrictions and conditions as part of the rezone, is <br /> what is requested for the subject property. (Cunningham testimony) <br /> 3. The rezone is requested as part of the development af a lot that fronts <br /> Broadway Avenue and 19�' Street in Everett. The Applicant proposes a <br /> 15,222 square foot retail store at this location, along with revisions to the <br /> parking. The rezoned lot will be the location of the parking for the new <br /> store. (exhibit 1) <br /> 4. The Appiicant is unable to develop the subject property with the current <br /> zoning designation and its parking standards. The parking standards for <br /> an R-2, Single-Family Medium Density desig�ation limit the number of <br /> parking spaces on-site to a number that is not practical for the proposed <br /> commercial development. To remedy this deficiency, the Applicant <br /> requested the rezone of the subject property to a B-2, Commu:�i+v <br /> Business designation. (Cunningham testimony) <br /> 5. In the City of Everett, in order for a Site-Specific Performance Agreement <br /> Rezone to be approved, certain criteria must be satistied. That criteria, <br /> as set forth in EMC 19.41.160, are: <br /> 3 <br />
