9 in the usable open space on the property over what would be provided by meeting the <br /> development standards and design guidelines proposed to be modified. <br /> f. If the development proposes greater building height than permitted by the zone in <br /> which the property is located, does the increase in building height impact the views or <br /> privacy of abutting residentially zoned properties? <br /> g. Does the proposed development result in a mix of permitted residential and <br /> commercial uses allowed by the zoning in which the property is located which would <br /> not result from compliance with the development standards and/or design guidelines <br /> proposed to be modified. <br /> h. Does the proposed design mitigate the impacts that could be caused by relaxation of <br /> the standards which are proposed to be modified. <br /> CONCLUSIONS BASED ON FINDINGS <br /> 1. The Applicant requested approval of a rezone of property at 9208 Holly Drive, Everett, <br /> Washington. The property, developed as the Holly Vista Mobile Manor, a mobile home <br /> park, is currently zoned R-2. The Applicant seeks a rezone to a designation of R-1(A) <br /> in order to develop the subject property with 50 single-family detached units. The <br /> Applicant also seeks modifications of the 28-foot building height standard and building <br /> separation standards for multiple-family structures. (finding 1) <br /> 2. The review criteria for Site Specific Rezones have been considered. The proposed <br /> rezone is consistent with the Everett Comprehensive Plan. (findings 6 & 7) The <br /> proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety, and <br /> welfare, and the proposed rezone promotes the best long-term interests of the Everett <br /> community. (findings 9, 10, 11, 16, & 17) The proposed rezone mitigates any adverse <br /> impacts upon existing or anticipated land use in the immediate vicinity of the subject <br /> property. (findings 13 & 17) <br /> 3. The modifications of the building height to exceed the permitted 28-foot height <br /> standard and the modification of building separation standards that require buildings <br /> on the same lot be separated by ten feet (plus additional footage for each floor) are <br /> reasonable as proposed. Unique circumstances of the subject property, including its <br /> historical use as well as its lack of development limitations, warrant the modifications. <br /> The modifications would be done in a manner that adds to open space in the area, as <br /> well as allow for the creation of new infrastructure. (findings 1, 19-22) <br /> 4. Positive characteristics of the proposed development can be accomplished with the <br /> modification as proposed. These include additional open space, adequate parking, <br /> and various designs. (findings 14 & 24) <br /> 5. The increase in the building height results in an increase of usable open space on the <br /> property that would not be available with standard designs. Because of the increased <br /> height, there is more open space on the lots and in the general site. (findings 14 & 22) <br /> 59 9 <br />
