Resolution 4315 - Laserfiche WebLink

4. Housing element #1.31, which requires the City to consider incentives for housing developers in return for housing that is affordable, is satisfied by the proposed development. The subdivision, with the multiple-family structure, will create affordable housing. The Applicant has provided alternative housing opportunities. (Finding #7) 5. The proposed subdivision will provide affordable housing. There will be no significant impacts to the environment that cannot be mitigated, and adequate utility service, traffic circulation, pedestrian circulation, and other City amenities are provided. (Findings #7, #9, #13, #22 & #28) 6. The conditions of the Resolution of Intent, as agreed to by the Everett City Council and the Applicant, are sufficient to mitigate adverse impacts. In addition to the terms of the Resolution of Intent, the conditions of the MDNS are also applicable to the site. (Findings #7 & #9) 7. As part of a PRD review in the City of Everett, the criteria as set forth in EMC 19.32.030 must be satisfied. A review has been made of these criteria, and they are satisfied by the proposed project. In addition to the general criteria, site specific criteria are set forth in the EMC (reference is made to the site criteria as set forth in the staff report). The specific criteria have been addressed in the findings. 8. The site, accessible to 2nd Avenue West and 1st Avenue S.E., will not significantly increase traffic. Local streets can handle the increased traffic. In addition, all sanitary sewer and water lines, storm and surface drainage, and other utility systems are available. The proposal will not result in increased costs to the public. (Findings #16, #21, #22, #25, & #26) 9. The proposed PRD will have a dwelling type that is permitted and is consistent with an R-3(PRD) zoning designation. (Finding #28) 10. The proposed subdivision is a permitted use in the R-3(PRD) zone and can be developed. (Finding #28) 11 . The density standards for the R-3(PRD) zone are less than the maximum permitted in the Everett General Plan. However, the location of the site and the surrounding properties allow for the reduced density of 10 dwelling units per acre, which will provide a transition from the higher multiple-family development to the lower single-family development in the area. (Findings #4, #6, #14, & #28) 12. The variation of the design and development standards, as proposed by the Applicant, are not significant and will not impact other properties in the area. The project is not proposing a density increase above the projected Everett General Plan designation and its density. (Findings #28 & #31) 7
