VARIANCE APPLICATIOi] Richard A. S400l��orth 861 La�ason P.d. Camano Island, l';a- 9g2�z Property: 3232 Hoyt Ave. Everett, l:'a. 982�] Ho.r7%.� The variance being requested pertains to Section 19•?3--�-'! �� the Zoning Code, Offstreet Parking. The requirement is for one (1) off streec parking space per tenant. I currently can provide S spaces and 7 have 9 tenants in my rooming hcuse. I am applying for a variance of the code in requard co the remaining spaces that I cannot provide. The zoning of thn property allows for high density residential structures, however it does not take into considPration the uniqce tenant of the rooming houae concept for parking purposes. The typical tcnant does not own a vehicle. On the sverage for the past year not more than 3 tenants have had vehicles at one time. These tenants can barely afford to pay rent and food and are therefore not in a position to o�an and operate a vehicle. In addition to the lack of tenants with vehicles the property is on a corner lot with plenty of street narking. Other property owners in the area are able to utilize their property to its best use whether it be as a residence, office or multi-family strcture. My properties best use is a a 9 room rooming house that at the most should be required to provide three (3) off site spaces or the amount of spzces that could reasonably be expncted to be used con�:stently by the tenants and not an arbitrary numb�r From a zoning code. ��pproval of the zoning request will be to the qood of the public welfare as this type of housing is not readily available in Gverett. If I was not able to provide the extra rooms, because of unnecessary parking, these tenants would literally be out on t}�e streets as there is a shortage of this type of housing in Fverett. I provide a:,ervice te the commtmity by working with EXHIBIT 3 NARR.ATIVE STATCMI:NT
