Snohomish County Public Works Department Page -9- 6. Before a Special Property Use Permit will be granted within the City of Everett, the requirements and guidelines as set forth in Section 19.58.010(B) must be adhered to. These include: 1. The proposed use must be reasonably compatible with other uses and potential uses within the general area in which the use is proposed to be located; 2. The proposed use must not have a serious adverse effect on the ecology and/or environment of the community; and 3. The proposed use must serve the public convenience and necessity. 7. The proposed Jail structure and the Work Release Center appear to be reasonably compatible with the other uses in the general area. Landscaping must be done to provide an attractive appearance of the structures in order that it conforms with the general environment of the surrounding properties. Control on glare and noise must be achieved at the proposed site. 8. The projected uses of the structures involved in the application of the Special Property Use Permit appear to be compatible with with the uses of the surrounding properties. The proposed Jail and the Work Release Facility will be in close proximity to the County Administration Building insuring safety in movement of persons and more effective communication between law enforcement agencies. 9. The proposed uses will not have anv serious adverse effect on the ecology or on the environment in the community. From the testimony given it appears that the Work Release Facility will be compatible and not have a negative social impact on the surrounding properties. 10. The proposed Jail and Work Release Facility will serve the public convenience and necessity by providing an updated and more efficient and effective method of prisoner detention within the community of Everett. 11. The requested variance allowing the proposed Jail to extend to an average height of 1201instead of the allowed 65' for property in a C-1 zone appears not to be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties or improvements within the vicinity of the property. 12. The requested variance is in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Everett. 13. The requested variance does represent special circumstances in that the prisoner detention facility is to be located near the County Administration building thus providing safety in transportation of the prisoners and more effective communication between law enforcement agencies. 14. If the variance is not granted, unnecessary hardship will result to the Applicant in that it must purchase additional land and construct a smaller but wider building. This extra construction and land acquistion would be a hardship and expense to the County of Snohomish.
