Based upon a review of the above record, the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions hereby constitute the basis of the decision of the Everett Hearing Examiner. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Applicant is the owner of the property at 7307 Evergreen Way that is zoned by the City of Everett as E-1, Evergreen Way. The proposed land use for the subject property is an auto dealership that would include auto sales and service shops. The property is in a mixed use corridor on one of the busiest streets in the City of Everett. The slope of the site requires designs that can be used for the commercial development of the site. The historical use of the site as an auto dealership and the proposed continuous use of the same will allow continuity of commercial development in the area. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 1; exhibit 2, zoning map; testimony of Mr. Ingalsbe; testimony of Mr. Guck) 2. The properties surrounding the subject property are also zoned E-1. The property to the south also has a zoning designation of R-3, Multiple-Family Medium Density. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 1; exhibit 2, zoning map; testimony of Mr. Ingalsbe) 3. The proposed auto dealership will involve redevelopment of 4.1 acres into a Chevrolet auto dealership. The site fronts Evergreen Way. Access to the dealership would be off Evergreen Way. The service shops for wash, oil change and detail would be on the south side of the facility. (exhibit 4, narrative) 4. The subject property's historical use is an auto dealership. Other auto dealerships are present along Evergreen Way, and the proposed use is typical for the commercial stretch of this portion of Everett. It is consistent with other uses in the vicinity. These uses have been in existence for a significant amount of time. (exhibit 4, narrative, page 1; testimony of Mr. Guck) 6(--7"1-)
