FINDINGS OF FACTS 1. The Applicant requested approval of an expansion of a Non-Conforming Use Permit to allow a 1,008 square foot addition to an existing office building on the property located at 2601 Everett Avenue, Everett, Washington. The addition, a new office space in the existing structure, will be made to the non-conforming building. 2. The subject property is a 13,680 square foot parcel of land that is zoned R-4, Multiple-Family Density. On-site is a 4,032 square foot o�ce building and adjoining parking stalls. The proposed addition will result in the structure on-site being 5,040 square feet. 3. The building on the subject property is non-conforming because it is located in a Multi-Family Zone, but does not have multi-family dwellings in it. The building consists of office space only. As a result, the structure is non-conforming, and any additions must secure an expansion of the Non-Conforming Use Permit. 4. The property to the north is zoned R-2 and is developed with a multi-family structure. The property to th� south is zoned R� and is developed with multi-family structures. The property to the east has an R-4 zoning designation and is developed with a church, while the property to the west has an R-0 zoning designetion and is developed with single-family structures. 5. In order for a non-conforming use to be expanded, the criteria as set forth in Everett Municipal Code (EMC) 19.38.090 must be satisfied. These criteria have been identified in the'staff report which was admitted at exhibit#1 and reference is mede to these criteria. 6. The existing structure on the subject property was built in 1972. The structure has been used for o�ce space since the time of construction. 2
