The property is zoned C-1R, Regional Commercial-Office zone. Since the tenant improvements will not exceed 35% of the assessed value of the building, the site does not need to be brought into conformance with the current landscape standards of the zoning code.

Subsection 35.070.A. of the City of Everett Zoning Code gives the Planning Director, using Review Process I, the authority to modify the required landscaping if the applicant proposes an alternative method of landscaping that would achieve the intent and purpose of the landscaping required in this Ordinance and in which the Planning Director determines to "provide superior quality through the use of native vegetation existing on site, preservation of groves of trees, ... or through other means". Review Process I is a written decision by the Planning Director which approves, �isapproves, or approves with conditions the proposal of the applicant (Section 42.090). The applicant will provide 919 square feet of additional interior landscaping for ihe 16 additional off-street parking spaces. Six pine trees will be added along the east property line with 25 shrubs and groundcover and 25 service berry bushes will replace four pine trees along the north side of the building.
