STAFF FWDINGS r�ND CONCLU510NS: The following findings and conclusions are based un the criteria established in Sec. 19.58.OlOB 1-3 Everett �lunicipal Code: 1. Compatibility: a. 1'he subject property is bounded on three sides by single-family development. These homes will be sensitive to the noise and light and glare related to the fire station activities. Attempts will be made to minimize the use of sirens and lights on emergency vehicles. On-site lighting must be shielded to reduce the impact of this facility on adjacent residential uses.

The site will be asethetically improved by the installation oi a substantial amount of landscaping. c. There will be adequate on-site parking to service the Fire Station. 2.
