Resolution 4974 - Laserfiche WebLink

WHEREAS, the C-1 zone allows a wide range of commercial uses which could have a detrimental impact on the residential areas located to the north and west; and WHEREAS, the applicant has agreed to meet the same conditions placed on the Earl Bumpass property to south for a similar project; and WHEREAS, the Everett Planning Commission, after a workshop and public hearing and in consideration of the recommendations of the Planning Department, did adopt certain Findings and did recommend, by Resolution, to the City Council that the proposed Comprehensive Plan map change and rezone be approved subject to the specific conditions set forth in said Resolution; and WHEREAS, the City Council Finds: a) The purpose for the requested land use map amendment is to allow for the construction of a self serve mini storage facility on the subject property; and b) Approval of the requested land use map amendment would likely result in the loss of 25 potential multi-family dwellings; c) The applicant cites as a basis for approval of the requested land use change, the low intensity of building scale and use represented by the self storage facility as a way to create a compatible transition between commercial zoned land to the south and east and the residentially zoned land to the north and west; and d) The land use polices of the comprehensive plan discourage speculative commercial rezoning and require that expansion of commercial land use designations into residential areas be based upon a plan integrating existing commercial areas and protecting abutting residential areas; and e) The terms of this Resolution that limit the use of the property and establish standards for development are sufficient to mitigate adverse impacts upon the adjacent residential areas; and 0. The rezone bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety and welfare; and g) The proposal promotes the best long term interests of the Everett Community. 2
