BOARD OF ADJUSTMRNT FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND ORDER VARIAlICE NO. 42-88 Based upon the written request for a variance from the City's zoning code by: Hawes & Hulbert 1310 Pacific Ave. Everett, WA 98201 hereinafter referred to as "Applicant," for a variance from E.M.C. 1��.40.020, Off-Street Parkinq, to allow less than the seven off-street par):ing spaces required by code for a 2600 square, foot residez�tial structure that is nonconforming for parking to be, converted to a professional office. I On the following d2scribed property: Lots 28 & 29, Block 738, � Plat of Everett Commonly known as: 3102 Rockefeller The Board of Adjustment, following a public hearinq on said ap- ; plication held on January 9, 1989, and further having reviewed all� testimony, makes the following Findinqs, Conclusions and Order: I ,I� , ,I� h� , � . Criterion �� That there have been excepti.onal or extraordinary circumstances ! or conditions applying to the subject property or a� to the in- tended use thereof that do not apply generally to other proper- ' ties in the same vicir.ity or zone. �� a. Findina: The subject property consists of a well main- j tained substantial brick structure originally constructed i as a 2600 square foot, two story duplex with a basPment on a 50 foot wide by 120 foot deep, 6,000 sqtiare foot �, lot, and was converted to a triplex prior to 1956. The structure is currently nonconforminq for parkinq since code would require five off-street parking spaces and there are only two provided. Therefore, thera is an ex- isting three space nonconformity for parkinq. �, i �i I The applicants are proposinq to convert the structure III to a law office for two attorneys. The parking re- quirement for a 2600 square foot law office would be ten spaces; howe�er., since there is an existing three space nonconformity for parkinq, their off-street parAing requirement would be seven spaces for the office use since it is city policy that only the additional parking requirement over the existing nunconformity be required. The applicants are proposinq to remove the existing ga- rage and provide as much parkinq on the site as pos- sible while still maintaining the beautiful front and side yard landscaping and are requesting a �ariance for the difference between what they can nrovide and the code reqiiirement. The build=ng is located direatly across Pacific Ave. from the courthouse, is surrounded on all sides by business use, and is on a busy ar.terial. b. �onclusion: There are unusual circumstances applying to this site, because of its ].ocation, size arld nature of th� existir�g building, and lot size which limits the a,�ount of parking that can be provic�ed on the site.
