Findina: The property consists of two buildings on a I 6,000 square foot lot both owned by the �nohomish County-Camano Boird of Realtors. Both buildi�:qs were con-i structed as single family residences in the ea:ly 1900's. �710 32nd Street: This structure was constructed as ai single family residence and there are no buildinq permits in file to indicate when the number of dwellinq units wasl increased. Senator Vognild began usinq the qarage as of-; fice space when he was a resident in the building in thel early 1980's and has continued to use the space for his� office since he moved out of ttte residential unit. � 3201 Wetmore: This structure was constructed as a�inqlel family residence and usEd as such until purchased byi Snohomish County-Camano Aoard of Realtors in November of� 1986, after which they be�an to use it as an office.� Snohomish County-Camano Board of Realtors applied for a� business license in February 1987 and at that time they were informed that they would need to obtain a Use Permiti since the use was permitted in the zone but the building, was constructed as a single family residence. A Use Permit is required by the Czty when a proposed usei is a permitted use in the zone but the building was con-, structed for residential purposes. The reason for this requirement is that the residential uses have a much lower. parking requirement than a commercial use and because a; residential structure may noL• meet Uniform Buildinq Code (UBC) requirements for commercial structures. The appli- cant for a Use Permit must provide parking to code for the, use proposed and also obtain ai Building Permit in order to. show that the construction m�aets the UBC requirement for, the particular use. The City was in correspondence with Snohomish County-Camano IIoard of Realt.ors from February 1987 to August 8, 1988 in an attempt t:o obtain a complete Use Permit Application.
