Finding: The property consists of two buildings on a 6,000 square foot lot both owned by the Snohomish County-Camano Board of Realtors. Both buildings were con-i structed as single family residences in the early 19001s. 1710 32nd Street: This structure was constructed as ai single family residence and there are no building 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 apace 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 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 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 all residential structure may not meet Uniform Building Codes (UBC) requirements for commercial structures. The appli- cant for a Use Permit must provide parking to code for the, use proposed and also obtain a Building Permit in order to show that the construction meets the UBC requirement for the particular use. The City was in correspondence with Snohomish County-Camano Board of Realtors from February 1987 to August 8, 1988 in an attempt to obtain a complete Use Permit Application.
