Rezone Ordinance #542-79 with Concomitant Agreement <br /> All of the exhibits are available for inspection at the Hearing Examiner's Office located at <br /> 2930 Wetmore Avenue, 8th floor, Everett, Washington. <br /> After due consideration of the testimony and evidence presented by the Applicant and <br /> testimony and evidence elicited during the public hearing, the following Findings of Fact <br /> and Conclusions constitute the basis of the recommendation of the Everett Hearing <br /> Examiner. <br /> FINDINGS OF FACT <br /> 1. The Applicant requested a rezone of 0.58 acres of land on property located at <br /> 527 East Casino Road, Everett, Washington. The property has been developed <br /> as a parking lot for the Applicant's telecommunication services off-site. It was <br /> included in a rezone with a concomitant agreement that was approved by the <br /> City of Everett in 1979 (rezone #79-001). The Applicant desires the concomitant <br /> agreement that requires that the 0.58 acres be used for parking lot purposes be <br /> eliminated. It is the intent of the Applicant to surplus this property for future <br /> commercial development. (exhibits 1 & 2, Tyler testimony) <br /> 2. In 1979, the Applicant desired to improve the subject property as an off-site <br /> parking lot for its central office facility on the south side of East Casino Road. As <br /> a condition of approval, the City required the Applicant enter into and record a <br /> concomitant agreement for the rezone. Part of the agreement required that the <br /> subject property be used as a parking lot and be landscaped. (exhibit 2) <br /> 3. In 1979, the Applicant's central office facility at 426 East Casino Road had <br /> mechanical equipment. It has since been changed to digital equipment. As a <br /> result of this change, there is less need for personnel conducting monitoring and <br /> maintenance activities, and the need for the excessive parking no longer exists <br /> on-site. (exhibit 2, Morgan testimony) <br /> 4. The subject property is bordered on the south by West Casino Road, an arterial <br /> street; on the east by a single-family residence; on the north by State Route 526 <br /> (a four-lane freeway); and, on the west by the existing switching facility of the <br /> Applicant. The site is east of Evergreen Way, a major developed commercial <br /> corridor for the City of Everett, as well as Snohomish County. (exhibit 1) <br /> 5. The arterial corridors in the area have traditionally been commercial strips. <br /> Casino Road and Evergreen Way are two major strips within the area. These <br /> roads provide a major transit corridor, and much of the development that fronts <br /> them includes a mixture of commercial uses and multiple-family housing. <br /> L. <br /> 2 L: 3 <br />
