VARIANCE APPLICATION Richard n. Woolworth 851 Lawson Rd. Camano Island, Wa. 98292 Property: ' 3232 Hoyt Ave. Everett., Wa_ 98201 � NO.Ozo The variancP being requested pertains to Section 19.-P-�-_89-0 of the Zoning Code, Offstreet Parking. The requirement is for one (1) off street parking space per tenant. I currently can provide S spaces and I have 9 tenants in my rooming house. I am applying for a varia�ce of the code in requard to the remaining spaces that I cannoc provide. The ?oning of the property allows for high density residential structures, however it does not take into consideratien the unique tenant of the r�oming house concept for parking purposes. The typical tenant does not own a vehicle. On the average for the pas` year not more thar. 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 own and operate a ver.icle. Ia addition to the lack of tenants with vehicles the property is on a corner lot with plenty of stree: parking. Other property owners in the area are able to utilize their property to its best use whether it be as a residenc�, office or.� multi-family�strcture. My properties best use is a-s 9 room rooming house that at the most should be required to provide three (3) off site spaces or the amount of spaces that could reasonably be e:cpected to be used consistently by the tenants and not an arbitrary number from a zoning code. Appraval of the zoning request will be to the good of the public welfare as this type of housing is not readily available in Everett. Zf I was not able to provi3e the extra rooms, because of unnecessary parking, these tenants would literally be out on the streets as there is a s:�ortage of this type of hoLsing in Everett.
