CITY OF EVERETT Ell' - E/ T Resolution No. 3733 A Resolution Amending the Land Use Map of the Everett General Plan for Property Located at 8220 Beverly Boulevard. WHEREAS, Carole Harrington has applied for an amendment to the land use designation of the Land Use Map of the Everett General Plan for property located at 8220 Beverly Boulevard, from "Single Family Detached, 1 to 5 Dwellings Per Gross Acre" to "Office;" in order to rezone the property for the purpose of establishing a small retail business on the premises; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on November 17 , 1992 , and considered the testimony of the applicant and of the public, and recommended that the City Council approve a change of the land use designation of the Land Use Map of the Everett General Plan from "Single Family Detached, 1 to 5 Dwellings Per Gross Acre" to "Neighborhood Business; " and WHEREAS, the City Council finds the following: 1. The Everett Zoning Code requires that in order for a rezone to be approved, that the proposed zoning be consistent with the land use designation of the Everett General Plan; and 2 . The circumstances which have changed in the vicinity of the subject property since the adoption of the commercial land use policies of the Everett General Plan in 1987 include the more intensive development of the property to the south of the subject site, and the establishment of a traffic signal for the intersection at which the subject property is located; and 3 . With a revision to the applicant's request for amendments to the Land Use Map and Zoning Map and appropriate limitations on the use and intensity of commercial development permitted on the subject property, the use of the site for commercial purposes could be made compatible with surrounding residential properties; and 4. The "neighborhood business" land use designation and the B-i (Neighborhood Shopping) zone, with certain limitations on permitted uses and intensity of development would promote consistency with several of the Locational Criteria and policies of the Commercial Land Use Policies of the Everett General Plan, including: a) a transition in scale and use between residential and commercial areas, buffering residential areas from the impacts of heavier commercial uses; and 1
