Visual impact to surrounding properties caused by parking facilities in the proposed development and whether such impacts are less than would result from compliance with the development standards and/or design guidelines proposed to be modified. e. If the development proposes greater building height than permitted by the zone in which the property is located, does the increase in building height result in an increase in the usable open space on the properly over what would be provided by a meeting the development standards and design guidelines proposed to be modified. f. If the development proposes greater building height than permitted by the zone in which the properly is located, does the increase in building height impact the views or privacy of abutting residentially zoned properties? ' g. Does the proposed development result in a mix of permitted residential and commercial uses allowed by the zoning in which the property is located which would not result from compliance with the development standards and/or design guidelines proposed to be modified. Ch. Does the proposed design mitigate the impacts that could be caused by relaxation of the standards which are proposed to be modified. ECONCLUSIONS BASED ON FINDINGS 7 1. The Applicant requested approval of a rezone of property at 9208 Holly Drive, Everett, Washington. The property, developed as the Holly Vista Mobile Manor, a mobile home park, is currently zoned R-2. The Applicant seeks a rezone to a r- designation of R-I(A) in order to develop the subject property with 50 single- family detached units. The Applicant also seeks modifications of the 28-foot building height standard and building separation standards for multiple -family F. structures. finding 1) 2. The review criteria for Site Specific Rezones have been considered. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Everett Comprehensive Plan. (findings 6 & 7) The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety, and welfare, and the proposed rezone promotes the best long-term interests of the Everett community. (findings 9, 10, 11, 16, & 17) The proposed rezone mitigates any adverse impacts upon existing or anticipated land use in the t immediate vicinity of the subject property. (findirgs 19 & 17) 3. The modifications of the building height to exceed the permitted 28-foot height standard and the modification of building separation standards that require buildings on the same lot be separated by ten feet (plus additional footage for each floor) are reasonable as proposed. Unique circumstances of the subject property, including its historical use as well as its lack of development limitations, warrant (, !J E
