II a. Findina: The property consists of two buildinqs on a '� 6,000 square foot lot both owned by the Snohomish �, County-Camano Board of Realtors. Both buildings were con- structed as sinqle family residences in the early 1900's. 1710 32nd Street: This structure was constructed as a single family residence and there are no bui.iding permits in file to indicate when the number of dwelling units was increased. Senator Vognild began using the garage as of- fice space when he was a resident in the building in the early 1980's and has continued to use the spa::e for his office since he moved out of the residential unit. 3201 Wetmore: This structure was constructed as a single family residence and used as such until purchased by Snohomish County-Camano Board of Realtors in November of 1986, after which they began to use it as an office. Snohomish County-Camano Bosrd 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 Permit 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 City when a proposed use 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 not meet IIniform Building Code
