There is the risk that if this requested expansion is not granted at this time, the opportunity for the community could be lost. Rezone Conclusions 12. The rezone is consistent with applicable Comprehensive Plan Policies and the Comprehensive Land Use Map, as amended, for the reasons discussed above, particularly in Comprehensive Plan Conclusions 2 through 5. 13. The Institutional Overlay zone, which will be governed by the Master Plan development standards and design guidelines, as well as other provisions of the Everett Municipal Code, mitigate the adverse impacts upon land uses in the immediate vicinity of the subject property. 14. The rezone bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety and welfare by providing additional capacity for health care services while mitigating impacts. 15. The amendment to the zoning map promotes the best long-term interests of the Everett community by providing a long-term plan and framework for meeting the health care needs of the community beyond 2030, while mitigating impacts to the immediate area. 16. The rezone is necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan Amendment designating the ECC Property for Hospital (2.4) use. Master Plan Conclusions 17.
