des:pn for and construction of the Pacific Street Overpass, a grade separation over the BNSF hacks. The East Parking Lot as eva!uated in the Final EiS is incompatible with this facility. In response to this development, as well as reduced parking demands at the Everett Station, Sound Transit modified the parking lot design. See Exhibit B. The modified design provides for the development of a 445-space parking lot on a 4.78 acre site extending from underneath the Pacific Avenue Overpass on the north to the alignment of 33'd St. on the south. There will be two points of access/egress, one at 33`d Street, and the other from Hill Street through the Dur-Nel property. See Exhibit C (site plan). The modified design reduces the number of parking spaces to be provided and slightly changes the lot's configuration from that considered in the Final EiS. As described above, the original East Parking Lot considered in the Final EIS was to be built on the site extending south from Pacific Avenue to 34d' Street. While the modified design will use much of the same property, the property located between 33rd and 341' Streets will no longer be needed. The modified design will also require use of the parcel located at the north end of Hill Avenue, on the south side of Pacific Avenue (the Dur-Nel property). Until 2001 this property was occupied by Nelson Petroleum, a gas and oil wholesaler. CHANGES IN ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND MITIGATION Using the elements of the environment discussed in the Final EIS, this section describes the changes in environmental effects and mitigation that will result from the project revisions discussed above. Only those elements of the environment that are affected by the project revisions are discussed. Impacts to other elements of the environment discussed in the Final EIS will remain unchanged or reduced, and do not require additional discussion in this Addendum. Transportation The modified desigtt includes 445 parking spaces instead of the 900 to 1200 considered in the Final EIS. Access/egress will be provided from two points, one at 33rd Street at the south end of the parking lot and one from Hill Street, across the Dur-Nel property to the north. As discussed above, the original design for the East Parking Lot provided access and ingress at one location on Pacific Avenuz. Because fewer cars will be using the parking lot, impacts to local intersections would be lower than presented in the Final EIS. The use of two access/egress points is also expected to reduce impacts to the local transportation network. Land Use and Economics The original East Parking Lot was to be built on a sit, located between Pacific Avenue to the south and 34a' Street to the north. The existing land uses were industrial (metals recycling). The modified parking area uses much of the same property as the original Everett Station SEPA Addendum 2 6/7/05
