VARIANCE APPLICATION Richard A. iaool�aor.th 861 Lawson Rd. Camano Island, S^Ia. 98292 Property: 3232 Hoyt Ave. Everett, YJa. 98201 J%'.UI�� The variance beiny requested pertains to Section 19.�-2-.9-70 of the Zoning Code, Offstreet Parking. T;�e req�irement is for one (1) off street parking space per tenant. I currently can provide,s spaces and I hzve 9 tenants in my rooming huuse. I am apPlying for a variance of the code in requard to the remaining spaces that 2 cannot provide. The zoning of the property allows for nigh density residential structures, however it does not take into consideration the unique tenant of the rooming house concept for parkiny purposes. The typical tenant does not own a vehicle. Un the average for the past year not more than 3 tenants have had vehicles at one time. These tenan�s asn barely afford to pay rent and food and are therefore not in a position to own and operate a vehi.cle. In addition to the lack of tenants with venicles the property is on a corner. lot with plenty of street narking. Other property owners in the area are abie to utilize their property to its best use whcther it be as a residence, oftice or multi-fami'_y strcture. My properties best use is a a 9 room rooming house that at Y.he most should be requi.red to provide three (3) off site spaces or the amount of spaces that could reasonably be expected to be used consistently by the tenants and ncC an arUitrary nurobcr from a zoninq code. Apr�roval oL thc zoninn request will be to �iie qood of. the publ.ic welfare as this type of nousir.g i� .,ot readily available in Everett. If I was not able to pc •ide the extra rooms, becausc of unnecessar.y parking, these tenants would literally be out on the streets as t:�ere is a shortage of this type of housing in Everett.
