Ordinance 2060-95 - Laserfiche WebLink

• WHEREAS,the Planning Commission considered five alternative land use patterns for the 19th Avenue SE Study Area and the development potential which could result from implementation of each of the land use alternatives; and WHEREAS,the Planning Commission held public hearings on March 27 and 28, 1995 to consider public testimony and written comments from Costco representatives,other property owners within the 19th Avenue SE Study Area,the Silver Lake Action Committee neighborhood organization, City staff,and the general public in consideration of a final land use plan for the study area; and WHEREAS,the City Council finds: 1. The Land Use Plan depicted in Alternative D promotes an orderly accommodation of growth consistent with the Land Use Concept described in the Everett Growth Management Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed land use designations as depicted in Alternative D and implementing zoning could reduce the population holding capacity of the 19th Avenue SE study area by approximately 1,797 persons, as compared to the interim land use designations. However,the resultant population holding capacity of the Everett Planning Area exceeds the 2012 population target of Everett's comprehensive plan. 3. The proposed land use designations as depicted in Alternative D and implementing zoning will allow for the majority of the vacant or redevelopable land within the study area to be developed with multiple family housing, and will allow for approximately 493,300 square feet of additional commercial development. 4. There are no existing uses that would be made nonconforming as a result of the land use designations and implementing provided by Alternative D. 5. The west side of 19th Avenue SE,north of 112th Street SE should be re-designated as a"high intensity mixed use corridor"as described in the comprehensive plan discussion of Everett's Land Use Concept, since it is a narrow,triangular shaped area that is located between Interstate 5 and SR 527,and SR 527 will become increasingly congested under any land use designation due to the large and growing residential area located east of SR 527 and the limited number of roads crossing Interstate 5. 7. The changes in zoning for the 19th Avenue SE Study Area which would result from the land use designations of"Alternative D"will provide for the best long term interests of the Everett community. 8. The land use designations and implementing zoning depicted in Alternative D will accommodate the Costco proposal: and WHEREAS,the City Council concludes: 1. The Land Use Plan depicted in Alternative D is hereby adopted as the land use designations and implementing zoning for the 19th Avenue SE Study Area. 2
