( SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL PROPERTY USES Narrative Statement-General& Specific Evaluation Criteria A. General Evaluation Criteris 1. The need of the neighborhood, district, or City for a proposed special property use is that immediate families of some cardiac patients have difficulty obtaining living accommodations nearby while tt�e patient is at Providence General Medical Center. This facility would provide approximately 48 to 72 hours of stay for the immediate families of cardiac surgery patients. This would allow their families to be close by during the critical period. 2. The streets, utilities and public services are adequate for the facility's current use as a rental duplex. The proposed use would not change the need or impact to streets, utilities or public services. 3. Currently, the facility is used as a rental duplex. The proposed use would result in less traffic impact since the immediate family would walk to and from the hospital. Because this facility will be used only by the immediate families of our cardiac surgery patients this will put less impact on the traffic then if it was used as a duplex. 4. The parking needs will not change as a result in the change in use from rental duplex to temporary living for immediate families. In instances where the immediate family has multiple vehicles, the hospital's parking garage will be available. 5. There are no proposed new structures or improvements with this proposal. The proposal is to change the use of an existing structure from long term rental to short term living accommodations for the immediate families of cardiac surgery. 6. The number, size and location of signs will not change. We see no need for signs. 7. The landscaping will remain or improve as with the curcent use. 8. My generation of nuisance irritants such as noise, smoke, dust, odor, glare, visual blight or other undesirable impacts will remain the same as with the current use. 9. The proposal is consistent with the Everett General Plan. 10. The proposal will comply with all requirements for special property use. 1 I. The proposal is not expected to change traffic patterns. If anything, the proposal may slightly decrease traffic since the immediate families will walk from the living facility to the hospital. Public transit is available at the corner of 13th and Colby as well as d�wn on Broadway.
