The subject propeity is zoned R-3 Medium Density Multiple Family. The R- 3 zone allows for a building density potential of 1 unit per every 1.500 square feet of land area. In order for a duolex to be constructed on site the lol would need to be a minimum of 3,000 square feet in area. On July 2, 1985 the City of Everett approved a Nonconforming Building Certification (NCB#7•85)for the subject property. The information provided by the owner at the time was that the �ot was 25'wide by 119.87'deep for a total lot area of 2,996.75 square feet. A site plan was provided with the 2pplication, which documented lhe lot dimensions as well as the building setbacks on site.which have been established as legal nonconforming. TI�e property dimensions orovided by the owner at lhis time are consistenl with the information containe� �n the original plat map on file with the City, which is available to review at our office. The Metroscan Property Profile you provided our office does provide informt�tion which states that the Ict area is 3,049 square feet in area. However, there is a disclaimer contained on lhe Metroscan profile, �.vhich st::es the following:"Information compiled from various sources. Real Estate Solutions makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of information contained in this report:' lf you believe lhe information contained on the original plat map is inaccurate, then you may provide the City with a record of survey, which demonslrates the proper Iot dimensions. Since the inforrnation available to the Cily represents the lot as being only 2,996 square feet in area, the maximum density permitted on sile is a single•family residence. The R-3 zone does not allow for commercial uses. If you feel the activities on site are of a commercial nature and date back to December 1, 1956 then the City could look at processing an application for a nonconforming use. If you have any �uestions about ihe contents of this letter, or you would like to discuss the nonconforming status of the existing structure please feel free to contact me at(az5)257-7281.
